Solenne

Solenne was born from a quiet place — a moment of introspection I wanted to capture without words. She rests in stillness, not looking out but looking inward, suspended between thought and transformation.

The butterfly represents the delicate, ever-changing nature of our inner world. The floating spheres — like thoughts in orbit — add a subtle balance of abstraction and emotion. I chose soft, contrasting tones to mirror the duality of vulnerability and strength.

The name Solenne, meaning “solemn” or “sacred,” reflects the dignity in silence — the beauty of simply being with one’s thoughts. This painting is not just a portrait, but a meditation on becoming.

I hope Solenne offers a pause, a breath, and a sense of connection to anyone who encounters her
