Artist Statement 

"Beauty is a deep feeling of connection, 

harmony and joy of being alive."

 

Since my teenage years I have been inspired by Native American cultures and traditions. That’s how I first learned about the “Beauty Way” of the Diné culture that strongly impacted my life and art.


"Walking the Beauty Way" means to become aware of the essence of beauty all around and within us. It means to appreciate the abundant gifts that nature offers us and to attune to it in our own lives the best we can.

Painting offers me the possibility to walk on this path in my own way. It teaches me to see the world through the eyes of a child again and appreciate the subtle details around me. 

​

I dedicate my art to the magic of life, the Earth and the Spirit that weaves through all things. I create art to remind us that we are all connected to this magic source of life – an integral part of the Great Mystery. I believe that through remembering this, we can bring the sacred back into the mundane and create a more beautiful, peaceful and compassionate world.

Verena Wild is a painter, author and illustrator from Germany. Her intricate paintings tell stories of connection, nature and soul, exploring our relation to the visible and invisible world. 

 

Born 1992 in a small village, Verena became passionate about painting from a young age. Her childhood paintings were filled with butterflies, flowers and colorful sunsets – symbols that still weave through her work and give her images a child-like touch.

Verena studied Chinese and Social Anthropology at University and traveled to many Asian countries before she decided to follow the artist’s path and turned her passion into a profession. 

What began with a fascination for Tibetan Thangka paintings, led her to explore art as meditation, devotion, and a bridge between inner and outer worlds. 

​

In 2017 she visited the Vienna Academy of Visionary Art (VAVA), where she learned under the guidance of inspiring visionary artists that helped her to improve her painting skills and to dive deep into the visions of her soul, supported by practices such as inner journeying, shamanic drumming and guided meditations.

 

Different cultures always fascinated Verena and left a strong impact on her art. Buddhist philosophy and the wisdom of Indigenous peoples inspire her creations. One of her main themes is humanity’s connection to nature, and the sacred journey of the soul unfolding itself. Paintings are like magic portals that transport the viewers into intricate landscapes of the soul,  where they find beauty, joy, connection and healing.
