Vera
Cauwenberghs

Belgian fine art painter Vera L.P. Cauwenberghs is mainly autodidact. She started drawing lessons at the age of nine and started painting with oil paint by the time she was twelve. She was born in the sixtees, as the youngest child of five. Having parents of the Great Generation, when it came to art school, it simply wasn’t an option. So life happened: she had an administrative job and raised two daughters alone, which didn’t leave much room for painting. But being born a painter, the bottled up artistic energy had to emerge at one point. And so it did: In 2008 she started painting again and never stopped. Since then, she exhibited her work solo at least once a year and took part in numerous group exhibitions. Her painting style is essentially realistic, but there is undeniably a slightly funny, rebellious side to it.
