Resolute ll

Resolute was a painting originally done in the 9-day challenge in 2022 where 9 paintings were painted in 9 days, as an initiative for Ukraine in the war that just had started. Based on suggestions from followers on instagram/facebook, the motifes were chosen and one of the topics suggested were: "The strong will of those who never give up", which is the one that became "Resolute". It was formed by 4 different reference photos to get the exact positure wanted. 

I had visioned this painting in a larger scale, I painted this second version at a live-streaming session at our temporary studio and artgallery at Via Vika, Oslo.
