Vera Klaus
A bold voice in contemporary painting.
Vera Klaus is a German visual artist whose work centres on the possibilities of painting as an intuitive and physical process. Using pencil, ink, marker and paint, she builds vibrant abstract compositions in which colour, gesture and raw canvas interact freely. Her works are held in private collections internationally.
More about the artist
After graduating in graphic design and working in the field for consecutive years, Vera Klaus switched her course. Moving away from predetermined actions, shapes and result based thinking she began exploring the painting medium. Fed by a strong urge to express herself creatively and freely, Vera developed a unique approach in which intuition plays an essential role.
Vera’s paintings consist of bright and colourful compositions in which she makes use of different materials such as spray paint and acrylic paint as well as chalk. With music as her muse - which creates a flow and gives rise to positive emotions - she enters a state of happiness that is directly connected to the action of painting. With her work, Vera aims to transfer her state of happiness to the viewer. By means of her attributed titles she is able to further emphasise this positive energy; The feeling of the sun kissing your skin on a lovely spring day, the visual of a field of flowers in bloom, the memory of a warm encounter.. Everyday life experiences like these form a continuous source of inspiration. In this way her works could also be described as a physical result of a moment in which she was fully in tune with the present.

The German title Gedankenkarussell translates as “Carousel of Thoughts”. A winding green line travels through fields of violet and pink, while vivid orange, yellow and blue marks gather towards the lower half of the canvas. The untouched surface above creates a sense of space around this concentrated movement.
Vera Klaus allows each gesture to prompt the next. Colours overlap, lines change direction and small metallic accents interrupt the softer passages. The composition captures the way thoughts can circle, disappear and suddenly return, without resolving into a fixed image.

With happy place, Vera Klaus brings together all the elements that define her work: layered gesture, delicate line, confident colour, and a sense of playful freedom. But more than anything, this large-scale piece feels like a landscape of emotion, one you’re invited to walk through.
The title may sound simple, but in this painting it becomes something layered and expansive. Marks appear like echoes of a thought or a mood. Bright reds and oranges flicker beside subtle pastels, soft fades contrast with sharp outlines. There's humour, softness, curiosity, all coexisting in one frame.
As with most of her work, the composition emerged through movement and improvisation, guided by music and mood. There’s no fixed centre here. It’s a place to wander.

Some feelings speak for themselves. strahlendes Glück - “radiant happiness” - bursts with colour and motion, yet leaves space between the marks. It’s not loud, but undeniably present.
Spray-painted layers in orange, green and purple stretch across the canvas like a moment unfolding. Pink and gold gestures trace a path through it all, while a sketched motif near the bottom corner adds a quiet sense of grounding. The composition feels open, but held together by rhythm and care.
As always, Vera Klaus works from intuition. Sound, movement, materials, all play a role in shaping what happens on the surface. The title doesn’t explain the work, but offers a suggestion: maybe this is what happiness looks like when you stop trying to define it.

Vera Klaus creates contemporary abstract paintings through an intuitive and physical process. Working with pastel chalk and water, she builds layered, gestural compositions in which colour, movement and texture are closely connected. Music plays an important role in her practice, helping her to let go of her surroundings and become fully immersed in the present moment. Her latest colourful paintings introduce pink and blue undertones, marking a new step in her ongoing exploration of pastel and water. The resulting abstract works convey strength, vitality and joy, inviting the viewer to lose themselves in their expressive colours, subtle details and shifting nuances.

Morgens Am See (Morning at the Lake) is a large abstract painting by contemporary artist Vera Klaus, created in 2026. The work is executed in mixed media on canvas and presented in a wooden floater frame.
Vera Klaus’s work often centres on the quiet intensity of small, fleeting moments. Rather than depicting a specific landscape or memory, her paintings build an atmosphere through colour, rhythm and layered gestures. In Morgens Am See, soft transitions and subtle contrasts create a sense of openness and stillness, recalling the experience of early morning light reflected on water.
The composition balances broad colour fields with more delicate passages of paint, allowing the surface to remain active without becoming overwhelming. From a distance, the painting reads as calm and expansive; up close, the layered marks and material traces reveal the artist’s process.
Through this approach, Vera Klaus creates works that invite sustained looking. The painting offers both visual clarity and depth, making it well suited for contemporary interiors where colour, light and space interact with the artwork throughout the day.

In große Freiheit, Vera Klaus brings together an abundance of colour, materials and spontaneous gestures across a warm, open background. Fluorescent pinks, orange drips, deep greens and soft violet marks appear alongside fine lines, splashes and loosely drawn forms. Rather than directing the eye towards a single focal point, the large vertical composition invites it to move freely between small details and broader fields of colour.

At 180 × 120 cm, große Freiheit has a strong physical presence, while its playful details reward closer viewing.

In Gedankenkarussell I, fragments of colour and line move freely across an open canvas. An orange-red gesture forms a loose vertical axis, surrounded by purple fields, burgundy lines and smaller shapes in blue, yellow, pink and gold. The marks remain distinct yet connected, as if each belongs to a larger train of thought.
The work reflects Vera Klaus’s interest in painting as an immediate, responsive process. Soft stains alternate with quick lines, splashes and more tactile passages. Their changing directions give the image its lively rhythm while leaving space for individual details to emerge.
