Vera Borghgraef
Vera Borghgraef (b. 1969, Belgium) is a versatile artist whose creativity spans architecture, jewelry design, and sculpture. With a foundation in Interior Architecture, having studied at St-Lucas in Brussels and later earning a Master of Arts in Interior & Architecture from the Royal College of Art in London, Vera brings a unique interdisciplinary approach to her work. As an architect, she is known for her clean, geometric designs defined by straight lines and rectilinear shapes, while her sculptural pieces diverge, embracing organic curves, texture, and open spaces.
Her sculptures are particularly notable for their fluidity and adaptability. Each piece is designed to be placed in a variety of orientations, allowing the viewer to interact with it from multiple perspectives, with no fixed front or back. This dynamic quality encourages endless reinterpretation, inviting new insights and reflections every time the work is repositioned.
In addition to her work as an architect, Vera is a passionate jewelry designer, exploring the intersections of form, function, and aesthetic in wearable art. Her studio, dedicated to interior design, is where she merges her varied artistic practices, realizing projects across multiple scales. Vera’s practice is rooted in the dialogue between different art forms and techniques, seeking to challenge traditional boundaries and evoke personal engagement in her audience.
