Vera Jochum

I am a German artist whose paintings evolve through a constant interplay of control and surrender. I build, scrape back, erase and rebuild—layer by layer—using acrylic, charcoal, oil pastel, pigments and found materials.

I never begin with a finished image in mind. I control the process, but not the result. What remains is a painting shaped by decisions, accidents, resistance and change.

My work is held in private and public collections in Germany, France, Finland, Slovakia, Canada and the United States.

I create paintings that do not tell you what to see. They leave enough unsaid for you to find your own connection.

I don't have a formal art education—I'm self-taught. What has shaped me are years of experience, practice, a love of experimentation, and consistent work in my own studio.
