Solveig's Dilemma

Acrylic on canvas – 60 × 80 cm

A moment of stillness in the eye of an emotional storm.

Solveig’s Dilemma captures the inner weight of decision-making — the quiet tension between responsibility and self-preservation. The woman in red carries a bowl of faces, each representing the people, expectations, and emotional ties she feels beholden to. Her body is strong, stretched wide to hold it all. Yet her eyes are closed, not in defeat, but in deep contemplation.

Inspired by the artist’s close friend, this painting is an intimate portrait of care, courage, and the search for clarity when the stakes are high.
