Solenn Heussaff, ibinuhos ang pinakamasakit na damdamin sa kaniyang mga painting

• Solenn Heussaff revealed that her latest painting exhibit reflects life's constant changes through nature-inspired artwork
• She shared that several paintings were inspired by her family's journey caring for her father, who has dementia
• The actress emotionally recalled a rare moment when her father briefly recognized her before forgetting again

Actress and artist Solenn Heussaff revealed that her newest painting exhibit is deeply rooted in personal experiences, particularly her family's ongoing journey caring for her father, Louis Paul Heussaff, who has dementia.

During the "Chika Minute" segment on 24 Oras, Solenn explained that the overall concept of her exhibit revolves around life's constant changes, using nature and foliage as symbols of growth, transformation, and resilience.

“It's really using nature and foliage as a metaphor, as a language, and also as a visual. It's about growth and it shows how life is always shifting, always changing. There are dark moments, there are brighter ones, and you just have to learn to step out into the unknown. That's the whole vibe of the exhibit.”

Beyond its visual appeal, several of the paintings also carry a more personal meaning. Solenn shared that her father's battle with dementia became one of the biggest inspirations behind some of her works.

“Memory fades aways, and that's what this is about. I feel like in a field of hortensia flowers, which my dad's favorite flower, pero abstracted sila dito, I can find him still kasi he cannot recognize me and everything. He's not completely disappeared, he's still there, but he's changing, evolving in his own terms, how life made it happen to him.”

“So parang it's all about that. It's the landscape of growth within. He's here with us, he's alive, but he's not there, alam mo 'yon. Dementia, siyempre, is a very difficult disease.”

The actress also became emotional as she recounted one unforgettable encounter with her father that continues to stay with her.

“There are good days, I wouldn't say bad. One time, I went to my mom's house and then my dad looked at me and then he just started crying. And he's like, 'my daughter.' So then, I was super crying also and then he looked at me again, tapos wala na. He was there for like a split second.”
