Standing at the Threshold of Light


Medium: Acrylic on unstretched Canvas fabrics 
Size: 18" x 14"
Date: 2025
Artist: Matthew Medupin

This work, painted with acrylic  on an unstretched canvas, reflects a moment of stillness at the edge of transformation, a pause between what has been and what is yet to be. The solitary figure stands not in fear, but in quiet readiness, facing a radiant light that breaks through surrounding darkness.

Painted in my usual impressionist spirit, the sweeping textures and contrasting colours evoke the turbulence, uncertainty, and energy that often accompany life’s turning points. The light is not distant; it is present, inviting, and inevitable. It speaks of hope, faith, and the enduring human capacity to move forward, even when the path ahead is unseen.

This painting draws from memory, reflection, and lived experience. It is my own way of reminding myself that life is never over until it is completely over, and that every threshold holds the promise of renewal.
