Vera Bartolomej is an experimental and minimalist artist whose work is characterized by a deep engagement with form, structure, and surface. Her creations are marked by a silent and clear beauty, reflected in her use of monochrome images and strict linearity. At the core of her work is the exploration of the relationships between light, structure, and movement.
A central element in Vera’s art is the relief, which she uses as a design tool. Her sculptural surfaces come to life through the way they are illuminated, causing the structures of her works to be revealed in a subtle yet powerful manner. By frequently using black in her reliefs and structures, she creates a mysterious aesthetic that captivates the viewer.
Her artistic practice is shaped by an experimental approach and the use of various techniques and materials. The fluid transitions in her works reveal a distinct signature, expressed through her mastery of different media. The artist is dedicated to exploring structures and their tactile qualities, finding new forms that create a harmonious constellation in space.
The interplay between space, light, and the art object is of central importance to Vera. Her works are designed to impart an authentic atmosphere to the space, offering viewers an opportunity for relaxation and inner peace. In the spaces shaped by her artworks, we sense a finely tuned harmony that shields us from the overwhelming external world, creating more room and time for tranquility.
Inspired by nature as an infinite creative source and influenced by avant-garde art movements, the Bauhaus, and the ZERO group, the artist strives in her work to rethink the relationship between art, craft, design, and architecture. Her works embody an aesthetic of repetition and clarity that streamlines the space and creates an atmosphere of quiet beauty.
Vera Bartolomej currently lives and works in Berlin, where she continues to work on new projects that explore the boundaries between art and design, forging a timeless connection between people and space.
