About this artwork
Part of ‘Let the light in’ series about finding hope during challenging times. In this series, I embarked on a journey back to a time when my world fell apart. A time when I both lost and found hope. All the paintings are a collection of those hopeful moments that help us overcome any adversity. Each piece began with a black layer on the canvas. As I’ve navigated through my memories, light was gradually added. Brighter colours began to partially conceal the darker areas. Transparent layers serve as a reminder of what shapes us. When you invite light into your life, you don’t eliminate darkness completely, but you diminish its presence in your life. The marks, borrowed from lines on the coastal rocks in Portugal, emerge from outside the paintings - hidden in places – are the threads that hold each piece together. They connect the memories, narratives, the places of joy and sorrow, loss and gratitude, regret and hope. It is my hope that this series will remind you to never lose your inner light. Medium: Acrylic, charcoal, oil pastel, ink, pencil on raw canvas. Framed in black Ayous. Painting is sealed & signed on the back. Certificate of authenticity included.

About the artist
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.
