Verena Mayer-Kolbinger is a German-Canadian painter, designer, and illustrator whose work is shaped by a close relationship to nature. Focusing on oil paint, oil sticks, acrylics, and textile elements, she creates layered compositions that move between abstracted floral subjects and landscapes. Her intuitive approach brings together deliberate arrangements with an exploration of color, form, and mood. Mayer-Kolbinger’s paintings capture vitality, transformation, and the transience of fleeting moments through an emphasis on emotion.
