At the center of the work "Folgeleben" is a kind of footbridge or bridge that rises above a city. On the footbridge, people are concentrated into an accumulation and progress along this trend-setting path. It is not clear what or whom they follow. But the elevated path seems to dissolve in the lower half of the picture. Below the bridge there is a chaotic composition of buildings and other bridges on which people walk sporadically. They too follow a path, which however moves away from the central footbridge in opposite directions. The paths either endure, transform or dissolve completely. The painting refers to the process of connection: following a current, a way of thinking, or a person. In the end, it is about joining a community. Consequently, these aspects include imitating and repeating actions that are found to be "good" in the respective current. Following is understood as a process of creating order and concentration. Instead of "following life" this work could also be called "concentration life".

Veronika Spleiss (born 1993) is a painter of NARRATIO GRAPHICA with their own philosophical stories. "The viewer seems to get lost in the overabundance of details in her paintings, which are located somewhere between comic and Kandinsky", as Jürgen Moises of the Süddeutsche Zeitung writes. The artist often uses abstract and geometric forms. Her painting palette resembles a rush of colour tones full of expressiveness, which in turn seem reduced within a work of art. With the colour and form described, her artworks show a confusion that makes us aware of the tension and diversity of life between order and chaos. Philosophically, the painter tries to take a look at all perspectives of everyday life. Veronika Spleiss is represented by renowned art galleries such as Galerie Klose, Grüne Zitadelle, singulart, and justBEE. Her works can be found in private collections all over the world: in Japan, France, Switzerland, Germany, Austria and the USA.
