Vera Klement.

(1929 – 2023)

“From the beginning, I experienced a sense of duality, the bright light and rhythmic pounding of the sea, and there, rising behind it, the dark forest that held in its silence the northern European legends of evil spirits: witches, erlkings, and poison toadstools. Light and dark — good and evil — life and death — that juxtaposition that eventually became the underpinning of my painting.”
