"At the Threshold" (2025) Original Mixed-media Painting by Vera Hoi

“At the Threshold” is about a moment I think many of us know — standing between what was and what is still unknown. I painted this work as a quiet reflection on letting go, not as a dramatic act, but as something slow and deeply human.

For me, this person represents a moment of pause. I wanted to express that feeling of hesitation — the inner state when you do not yet know whether to hold on to what is familiar or take a step into the unknown. The tree feels like a silent presence, something grounded and enduring that remains while everything else begins to change. There is solitude in this painting, but also a sense of calm.

As part of "The Geometry of Letting Go" series, this painting reflects my thoughts about change, memory, and the quiet inner spaces we move through when we begin to release what no longer belongs to us.

The work was also presented in the exhibition “Mensch. Raum. Zeit.”, which explored the relationship between human beings, space, and time as emotional and existential dimensions of experience.

The artwork is framed and is ready to hang.

The artwork is titled on the back and signed on the front and also comes with a certificate of authenticity.

The close connection to nature is at the core of my work, each of my pieces captures the essence of the surrounding landscapes, a subtle nuance in colours, shapes and textures that are an ode to closeness to nature. This deep connection with nature is reflected in every brushstroke and forms the foundation of my artistic identity.

My art is more than an aesthetic representation, it is an exploratory journey into the depths of my being. The search for inner knowledge and self-understanding is at the centre of my creative endeavours. Every stroke on the canvas is a discovery, a step on the journey to my true essence. This process of self-exploration is deeply rooted in the practice of meditation and spiritual teachings that feed not only my creative inspiration but also my personal development.

Nature, in its myriad forms and expressions, serves as a constant source of my creative energy. My artistic dialogue with nature allows me to delve into its mysterious depths and reveal the beauty of its sceneries in my works. At the same time, my paintings reveal the essence of my thoughts and emotions, which inspire me to new creative expressions.

My art is also a journey to expand consciousness an invitation to look deeper and understand. It transcends the boundaries of visual aesthetics and becomes a medium of personal and spiritual realisation.
Each painting, each brushstroke is a living expression of the moment, a manifestation of the energy and feeling that makes each moment unique. Through this profound artistic practice, I hope to build a bridge – a connection between my experience and that of the viewer, to discover together the beauty and hidden treasures of nature and the self.
