WELCOME!

Originally from Sweden, I'm an artist living in Paris, where I also teach watercolor painting. I use my blog for regular updates about my art process and news, and my website with my Art shop for commercial issues.

Sharing my creative process through the years have given me opportunities to work professionally with my art. I paint and draw "portraits" of what visually capture my interest and with no exception there is light, shadows and water involved. Contemplation appeared early in my life, and drawing followed naturally to leave a trace of my impressions.

Please feel free to contact me for any question, and if you wish to purchase or use any available piece of work go to my website: helenstrom.com

Onekingslane.com sell prints of my paintings and have launched my wallpaper designs early 2021!

I wish you a pleasant visit. Thank you!

My thoughts about drawing coincides with these statements:

"Drawing from observation is immediate. It requires the feeling: intense sensation, vision, velocity and instant execution. It does not admit any subsequent amendments that we would be noticed inevitably...

When a head, an apple, a tree or a piece of bread, beat and subjugate, the hand will follow and communicate through the line or spot, the visual emotion. It is always the revelation of a truth that the subtle viewer will discern without hesitation."

Avigdor ARIKHA

"Always have a book in hand and note in four strokes the objects that strike you, if you do not have time to fully state it. But if you have the opportunity to make a more accurate sketch, study the model with love, consider it and express it under all its forms, so as it stays in your head, embed it there as your property."
