Connections Painting

Beti Vervega inherited her parent’s talent. Her father, a professional photographer, used to work, next to her mother, in his own studio. During her childhood she loved painting and she took private art lessons. After graduating high-school she follows the mural painting lessons organised by the Romanian Patriarchy. She obtains a degree and paints the inside of the church in Boș, Hunedoara County, using a fresco style. In 1990 she enters the six years Painting Classes at Art Academy. In 1997 she open her first personal exhibition at Galla Gallery in Bucharest. Two years later she leaves for Africa, together with her family, an experience that will completely change her life and her art perspective: family and love – two of the most precious gifts from God – become now the most important aspects of her life. In 2008 she launches her first artist catalogue, together with her personal exhibition, ”Step”. She is married and she has one child. She loves to write and travel; recently she developed an interest in ecology and nutrition. < Beti Vervega is mainly interested in colour, its energy being directed towards the most unpredictable art works.Through her unique style, the artist has made us think more of the graphic side of the art, since she has been mainly focusing on the ”sign” and “line” as the pivotal element of her art. Nevertheless, it is a drawing backed up by colour. Had the focus been laid on the colour itself, its hues or, the depth of the colours, then the whole “balance” would have tilted towards painting. It goes without saying that the artist uses technical means for oil painting, but her sensibility is drawn more towards a graphic rendition of a particular idea > – Luminița Batali, “Galla” gallery
