Beyond Her Canvas
Philippine Tatler|May 2018

Solenn Heussaff wears many hats: actress, host, endorser, entrepreneur. But it is through her artistic side that this fearless, compassionate woman truly connects with the world in a way that  transcends both intellect and emotion, as MJ Jose finds out 

MJ Jose
Beyond Her Canvas

SOLENN HEUSSAFF HAS NEVER BEEN THE TYPE TO SHY AWAY FROM THINGS. She openly shares snippets from her day-to-day life, whether it be a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes in between takes or any of her hilarious exchanges with husband Nico Bolzico, with her four million-plus followers on Instagram, often injecting a bit of her self-deprecating humour when doing so. Solenn is in a good place: she and Nico—who lovingly refers to her as his ‘Wifezilla’—have been married for two years now, and are happy pet parents to Patato the turtle and Negroni the cat. And though they both have a multitude of projects on their plates, many will be pleased to know that starting a family is in the cards for this couple. Solenn has been posting updates to her blog as well, always ready with healthy food hacks and exercise and beauty tips for her readers. Oftentimes, she chooses to dig deeper, touching on topics such as unrealistic beauty standards, the toxicity that social media can bring, and even the less desirable aspects of showbusiness. She comes across as likable and relatable—more actual human being than a fabricated entity on a pedestal—which is perhaps what truly endears her to the public. Despite her celebrity status, she lives with both feet planted firmly on the earth, her heart and soul anchored to the real world simply because she genuinely cares about it. This grounded, compassionate perspective is what motivates her as an artist, evident in each face Solenn chooses to commit to her canvasses.
