"Summer Holidays: Childhood Nostalgia 3" Painting

Vera Saiko is a Canadian visual artist whose vibrant, expressive works have been exhibited in galleries and art fairs in Canada, the USA, Europe, and China. Working in oil, acrylic, pastel, and charcoal, she explores color, movement, and the emotional resonance of abstract form. Her practice often blurs the boundaries between inner experience and external reality, inviting viewers into layered visual landscapes. Vera received her formal art education in Eastern Europe and later graduated from the Fine Arts and Design program at Sheridan College (Canada), where she also taught Fundamentals of Drawing and Colour Theory for over a decade. She continues to share her knowledge through workshops and masterclasses. Known for her bold compositions and sensitive use of color, Vera frequently experiments with diverse media and techniques to expand the expressive potential of painting. Her works have been featured in solo and group exhibitions, and are held in private collections across North America, Europe, and Asia — including in Japan, Singapore, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, Ukraine, and Russia.
