“Energy, passion, life, movement, color… these words define Helene’s work. She celebrates the human spirit and life on our planet in all its forms. In her colorful and magical world, she mixes abstraction with realism and minimalism with exuberance.
Born on the Mediterranean sea, she grew up surrounded by a wealth of vibrant colors. These Mediterranean hues are still the base of her work. Her connection to the sea is reflected in her use of numerous underwater scenes. Boats are also a recurrent image.
Influenced by Matisse, who spent many years in Nice, she is also rooted in the myths and legends of the ancient civilizations which dominated the Mediterranean coast.
Trained as a painter, Helene’s work now also encompasses films, computer graphics, animations and multi-media installations. In a constant dialogue between the different mediums, she allows each to feed and enrich the other. Her action-packed films artfully mix paintings, videos and digital animations. The films are incorporated into painted sculptures. In turn, the colorful panels of her screen sculptures are reflected back into her paintings.”
