Vera Tepliakova’s Oil Paintings Blur The Line Between Dream And Reality

Vera Tepliakova is a painter who works primarily in oil on wood, creating dreamy, surreal compositions that evoke introspection and otherworldliness. Her originals and commissions emphasize textural depth, soft lighting, and narrative subtlety.

Her pieces often feature portrait-like figures in ambiguous, ethereal settings, blending realism with dream logic—”Am I Dreaming?” captures this tension through layered brushwork and muted palettes. The process videos reveal a hands-on style, where spontaneous mark-making meets deliberate form-building. Her practice spans traditional techniques with a contemporary surreal edge.
