Part of the “Unleashed” series, where I dived into my memories as a young child, reliving the pain and frustration I felt when I tried to speak but was ignored, and now helping her to let go of the guilt she had been carrying for years due to being misunderstood, and allowing her to look in the mirror and recognise the strong force inside her. I set her free. I set myself free. Utilising raw canvas allowed for an intuitive and unrestrained exploration of colours, shapes, and marks because of its smooth texture, neutral colour, and capacity to absorb water. I was fascinated by the bold, imperfect rocks that are buried beneath the ocean in Cascais, where I reside. They remain mostly buried until the ocean calms down and reveals itself, creating a new landscape.

Vered Brett is an abstract artist living in Cascais, Portugal. Vered’s art explores the depth, complexity and multiple layers of the stories and memories we carry with us throughout life. Her paintings invite the viewer to dive deep into hidden and unknown moments, peel the layers, and embrace self-acceptance and truth. The proximity to the ocean throughout her life is integral to her work and it is reflected in the choice of tools, textures and colours that she borrows from it. She uses water as a main medium to allow free flow of paint, creating soft borderlines and unpredictable marks. Her intuitive process is free from rules and liberating. Vered hopes to inspire viewers to feel fearless, free and vulnerable through her art.
