ABOUT ME

Vera Kace, is a Lisbon based visual artist who focus in oils and watercolours. with background and degrees in graphic design, painting and drawing. Lately her main focus is on teaching painting and taking a certificate on junguian analytical psychology course. Junguian psychology, symbology and myth interpretation are central tools on her approach to painting and serve as a tool to her classes and mentorships where students are taught to unlock their creative self through traditional painting tecniques and the power of Archetypes and mythology. In 2020 she had her first solo show with Balcony gallery and later on a few collective exhibitions in Hungary, China and across Portugal.

ABOUT MY WORK

My works usually explore themes of introspection through the figure. Nature and the theatrical aspect of life play a central role on my narratives, you can find that influence on my floating series project where i longed to explore our connection and surrender to nature and in my latest body of work “paper cut dreamlands” which dives on the theatrical aspect of the unconscious through dreams, philosophical insights and self portraiture as a way of individuation while exploring our collective identity and nature.

My fascination (in this lastest body of work) for the spectacle serves as a critique for this perfomative “society of the spectacle” but also as a pathway to transform the viewer through small scale intimate theatrical works that not only ask to be seen up close but also to be reflected upon.

  • Cláudia

    “Vera is an excellent teacher, with a strong command of the various techniques she teaches and shares in a calm and clear manner. She has great intuition about what we need to progress, giving us space to work independently while always being attentive to our journey and present to help. she complements her teaching with important theorical information and gives good references to study from. I had an evolution with her classes more than i thought would be possible to my basic level”

  • Carolina

    “she taught me everything i know about colour theory. Very calm, she let me pick my projects and gave me the adequate support to my technical capabilities. Besides that she always recommended good books and resources to study outside class period”

    “I got these earrings a few years ago as a gift and they are now one of my most prized possessions! Not only they are a perfect replica of one of my favourite paintings of all time but they are also so lightweight and comfortable! I wear them on special occasions and I ALWAYS get compliments on them. If you are looking for a special and original treat this is it, you’ve found the gold mine!”
