Artist Profile
Vera Kochubey
Vera Kochubey, an iconic contemporary artist, has called Berlin her creative haven since 2011. Her portfolio boasts large-scale paintings and installations, renowned for their unique powerful style.
Born in the USSR, Kochubey’s artistic journey has been strongly influenced by both American and Soviet art. Seeking creative liberation, in the 80s she found visual respite from the disciplined Moscow reality in the vibrant world of New York’s POP art scene. Queer Culture and Camp have always held a special allure, profoundly influencing her art and designs, offering an escape from her dogmatic and stifling Soviet past.
Kochubey has integrated fashion into her portfolio since 2016. She is a true visionary, crafting her own world through her art. Collaborating with fashion designers, DJs, photographers and videographers underscores this portion of her work.
„СВОБОДА / FREEDOM,“ one of her masterpieces, created during the early days of the Ukraine war, addresses the universal longing for freedom from political machinations and dehumanizing narratives. This thought-provoking work found a permanent home at the Berlin Museum of Urban and Contemporary Art – „URBAN NATION.“
„KOCHUBEY“, as a brand has always been her dream. The concept is to use clothing as a canvas to embody Vera Kochubey’s art. Vibrant motifs elevate everyday attire into extraordinary „DRESS TO IMPRESS“ Items.
