Chiyo Artwork

Chiyo is a contemplative piece showing the beauty of thought. Perspective is reality. Solberg incorporates aspects of religious iconography, classical realism and her own unique style to create large -scale mixed media paintings she refers to as “Everyday Icons”. These Icon portraits focus on a single character to capture fleeting moments of triumph, transition, struggle and enlightenment. Traditional portraiture takes on an ethereal interpretation with the incorporation of assorted media including plaster, collage, oil, acrylics, beeswax and goldleaf. Her innovative technique produces a highly textured masterful portrait with surprising depth and luminescence.
