Resilience. This piece was part of a larger body of work "Om Løvetann and other Sacred plants"presented at an exhibition at Frida Hansen’s Hus in November 2025. The dandelion, known for its remarkable capacity to adapt and grow in the most hostile places, represents both resilience and the will to thrive despite adversity—a timely metaphor for the current conditions faced by many. Resilience is also embodied in wool-thread embroidery within an austere aesthetic, honoring traditional handcrafts that, like the dandelion, persist in surviving and remaining visible despite challenges.

Mara Sola, Spanish visual artist based in Norway since 2012. She holds a BA Honours in Art and Design, specializing in painting, from Atlantic University in Galway, Ireland, as well as pedagogical studies at the University of Stavanger. Since 2016, she has been working from her studio at Tou Atelierhus in Stavanger.
While painting is her primary medium, she also works with drawing, textiles, embroidery, and object-based sculpture. Drawing on nature and organic materials as metaphors for the human psyche, her practice is informed by transpersonal psychology and explores how landscapes shape our psychological states—from expansive environments to the intimate microcosmos of plants, roots, and flowering forms.
Sola has presented numerous solo exhibitions and participated in group shows in Ireland, as well as exhibited in England, the United States, and Norway. Her works are represented in both public and private collections. In 2010, she received the Emerging Artist Award from Visual Arts Ireland. She is a member of the Norwegian Association of Visual Artists (NBK) and the Association of Visual Artists in Rogaland (BKFR).
