8/30/22: Belgian painter Vera Kover’s still life paintings are anything but still. Her technique of bold strokes, palette knife smears, and scratches brings them to life in a fascinating way. They border on the abstract, but it’s nonetheless always clear what her subjects are.
“To paint without rules, to paint how you feel. I love to experiment with different combinations of colors. Bright colors giving me freedom. Painting on border of reality and abstraction showing in one time my feelings and inspiration.”
I love that she’s able to take something as predictable as flowers and turn them into something dynamic and modern. I wish I could see the world like that!
You can follow the talented Vera Kober on her website and also on Instagram and Twitter.

I do, too! I initially thought “I could do that!” but of course, no I couldn’t. Deceptively simple looking, but the combination of colors in each brushstroke is masterful!
