ULTRA CONTEMPORARY artist
About
VERA KOCHUBEY is a mid career ultra contemporary artist based in Berlin, known internationally for her bold, totem-like Pop Art and large-scale expressive paintings. Blending spiritual symbolism with raw intensity, her work explores themes of identity, transformation, and the subconscious. With her striking visual language—characterized by vibrant colors, powerful text elements, and mystical iconography—KOCHUBEY creates artworks that challenge and empower the viewer.
An eccentric personality in the Berlin art scene, she draws inspiration from shamanism, postmodern philosophy, and underground culture, forging a unique fusion of art, camp and mysticism. Through her provocative and highly energetic pieces, KOCHUBEY invites audiences into a world where the sacred meets the rebellious, and art becomes a tool for self-discovery and transcendence.
Her conceptual painting “СВОБОДА / FREEDOM” has been acquired by the Berlin Museum of Urban and Contemporary Art - “URBAN NATION”.
