The artist has specialized in watercolour paintings in which the  paints  are made of pigments suspended in a water based solution. She is using many thin brushes and glaze on top of one another, producing rich colours and tones. While she is producing her paintings, she is passionate with pastel tones and she focuses on portraits and historical monuments like Galata Tower in Istanbul.

Verda’s paintings successfully translate her emotions with a touch of romanticism to create playful works that capture vibrant interest and energy.
