The Bridge Between Sculpture and Painting

A thought is where every sculpture begins. This thought slowly transforms into an idea, and that idea finds its first life as a sketch. However, to call Helena’s drawings and paintings mere preparatory studies would be to overlook their power. These works confidently stand as complete pieces themselves.

Her painting style draws from Cubism while borrowing a subtle dynamic energy from Futurism. She speaks through geometry and structure. You often feel you are looking at a bridge connecting two distinct worlds. On one side lies the solidity of sculpture, and on the other, the fluidity of painting. She is not concerned with narrative in a traditional sense. Instead, her focus is on form, movement, and the delicate relationships between shapes sharing a space.

This approach echoes the innovative spirit of the early 20th-century avant-garde. It brings to mind artists like Picasso, Braque, and Juan Gris, who challenged how we see and represent reality. Helena does not imitate them. Rather, she shares their fundamental curiosity, their persistent search for new visual languages. She seeks to translate a three-dimensional vision onto a two-dimensional plane.

It calls to mind the words of German novelist Lion Feuchtwanger: “A talented person is talented in everything”
