„I create windows and doors with depth and harmonic vibration which let peace, harmony, stillness, serenity, and love in your life .“ Vera Hoi
Vera Hoi is a nature-inspired artist. Her paintings are an expression of emotions, experiences, thoughts, and dreams. She gets her inspiration from the beauty that surrounds us and painting art for her is a way to express this beauty on the canvas and share it with the world.
Her Art is mostly derived from visions She has while in sleep or a contemplative state of mind. Her purpose as an artist is to create windows and doors with depth and harmonic vibration, that opens the heart to peace, harmony, stillness, serenity, and love. She tries to transcend the physical world, inspiring the viewer to reach a higher ground and perceiver the light that is within us all. Vera invites the viewer to a way to discover a sense of oneness with ourselves, the world, and nature.
Her work focuses mostly on textured compositions of various colors and shapes depicting water (sea, lake, waterfall). For this, she uses acrylic and oil paints, various structure pastes, ink, and other artistic materials. The image of water relaxes, calms down, and gives aesthetic pleasure. The energy of peace, harmony, stillness, and serenity helps to slow down and relax. Vera invites the viewer to do some self-reflection and connected to their inner self to realize what really matters.
