About The Artwork

(English) This painting is called “Solveig Venter,” which is Norwegian for "Solveig waits," and is based on “Solveig’s Song,” by Edward Grieg, which was created in connection to the play, Peer Gynt, by Henrik Ibsen. The play was inspired by a Norwegian folk tale about an irresponsible boy, Peer Gynt, who searches for the meaning of being true to yourself through his adventures around the world. Peer fell in love with a girl, Solveig, but her parents forbade the relationship. While Peer went off on his adventures, Solveig stayed faithful and waited for him to come back many years later, as she sang in Grieg’s music. The character Solveig is known to have idealistic and saintly characteristics. The name, Solveig, has several meanings, including “daughter of the sun,” “sun-colored” and “strength.” However, I interpreted the meaning as “the sun’s path,” because of the sound of pronunciation. There are many gold details on the boat because Peer called Solveig “his pure gold.” There is no rope from the boat to the dock because it means that Solveig chooses to wait for him, and the boat does not move. The green colors behind the boat represent the Dovre trolls, whom Peer meets, and everything became marked with devilish atmosphere, in contradiction to the ideal woman, Solveig. Even though Peer was lured in by the trolls, there are several gold flecks through the green, which shows that Solveig was with Peer the entire time. The darker colors change slowly to lighter colors that glimmer because it represents the sun and light, and the lighter palette moves in front of the boat because it depicts the moment at the end of the play where Peer and Solveig finally reunited. .... (Norwegian) Dette maleriet heter “Solveig Venter” og er basert på "Solveigs Sang" av Edvard Grieg, som ble skapt i forbindelse med teaterstykket, Peer Gynt, av Henrik Ibsen. Teaterstykket ble inspirert av et norsk folkeeventyr som handler om en ansvarsløs gutt, Peer Gynt, som søker etter å være tro til “seg selv” gjennom sine eventyr rundt verden. Peer ble forelsket i en jente, Solveig, men foreldrene til Solveig forbød forholdet. Mens Peer dro på eventyr, ble Solveig tro og ventet på ham til han kom tilbake mange år senere, som hun sang på musikken. Karakteren Solveig er kjent til å ha idealistiske egenskaper. Navnet Solveig har flere betydninger, som inkluderer “datteren til solen” eller “solfarget” og “styrke,” men jeg oppfattet uttalen og betydning som "veien til solen" på grunn av uttalens lyd. Det er flere gule detaljer på båten fordi Peer kalte Solveig “sitt rene gull.” Det er ikke et tau fra båten til bryggen fordi det betyr at Solveig velger å vente på ham og båten beveger seg ikke. De grønne fargene bak båten representerer Dovre-trollene som Peer møtte, og alt ble preget med djevelske stemning, i motsetning til den ideelle kvinnen Solveig. Selv om Peer ble lokket inn av trollene, finnes det flere gulflekker gjennom det grønne, som viser at Solveig var med Peer hele tiden. De mørkere fargene skifter gradvis til lysere farger som glimrer fordi de representerer sol og lys, og når frem til båten fordi det skildrer øyeblikket da Peer og Solveig endelig ble sammen.

Chelsea E. Dill has always been interested in art since childhood and was often found with a paintbrush in her hand. After years of filling sketchbooks with drawings, Chelsea ventured into painting, especially having come from a family of artists. Primarily self-taught, Chelsea works in acrylic paint and her artwork has been featured in several local art shows. She enjoys painting maritime scenes and is always inspired from the incredible places from her travels. In addition to painting, Chelsea enjoys knitting, especially garments with traditional Nordic motifs. She is also especially interested in Norway and has studied the Norwegian language for several years. Some of Chelsea’s paintings are inspired by Norwegian expressions and culture, such as artwork about the traditional bonfire on Sankt Hans eve, and a painting that embodies the term “Hyttekos,” the cozy feeling of sitting next to a fireplace in a cabin on a snowy evening.
