AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Artist: Nush Menna

Title: The Threshold

Technique: Oil painting on canvas

Dimensions: 42 × 30 cm

Year: 2026

Condition: Excellent.

Certificate of authenticity: Included.

Final protective varnish: Applied to ensure greater protection of the work over time and to preserve its chromatic brilliance.

The packaging will be realized by prioritizing, where possible, recycled and recyclable materials, to reduce environmental impact without compromising the safety of the artwork.



Critical description

The Threshold explores the suspended moment between the inner world and the outer world. The face, crossed by two different luminous tones, suggests a silent transformation rather than a simple figurative representation. The heterochromatic gaze and the veil with deep turquoise tones become symbolic elements of a passage, an emotional boundary where identity, memory, and change coexist.

The work unites a contemporary figurative language with a psychological inquiry, privileging expressive intensity over narrative. Glazing, the contrast between light and shadow, and the care of the flesh tone accompany the viewer toward an intimate dialogue with the painting, leaving every interpretation open.

Made entirely by hand with professional oil paints, the work belongs to Nush Menna’s most recent painting research, focused on examining identity, transformation, and the archetypal dimension of the human figure. Each painting is a unique piece, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

Seller's Story

My painting is born from the desire to explore the human being in contemporary time, between identity, symbols, and inner transformations. I do not simply paint what I see, but what I perceive behind the image: emotions, fragility, tensions, and contradictions that belong to our era. My work develops through a layered and slow oil technique, where every detail has a meaning and every element contributes to the narrative of the piece. The figures I paint do not represent merely individuals, but universal conditions: vulnerability, strength, loneliness, and the longing for connection. For me painting is an act of research and authenticity, a way to restore depth in a world dominated by speed and superficial image. Through color, light, and composition I seek to create works capable of maintaining a living relationship with those who observe them over time. My works are present in international private collections and are mainly created in oil on canvas, with a constant production and an artistic research in continual evolution. "ZEITGEISTTEPERAMENTLOS [SPIRITO - DEL - TEMPO - SENZA - SPIRITO] Riflesso di un attento "studium" travestito da distratto "punctum" - raccolta di ritratti senza identità - costellazione claustrofobica di tribù urbane - moltitudini solitarie - selfie ugualmente di sé massificati per te distratto - istantanee di un passato presente - colori forti per spiriti fragili - profonda superficialità - spirito - del - tempo - senza - spirito."
