Vera Kersting works with crossovers between painting and other mediums, such as film and writing. She paints images that explore relational dynamics between media images and the vague boundary between what is perceived as truth and fiction. 

Vera’s work is charged with unsettling emotions of conflict, pervasive in society- yet often unsurfaced. The paintings are composites of multiple suffused layers. The subject matter, often derived from media, historical narratives and personal perspectives, declines straightforward interpretation and is filled with innuendos and double entendres. These dissonances created within the work can universally be understood but are strangely connected to the artist’s own identity.
