WELCOME!

Here you will find a mix of my work organised in categories and the Journal where I post news and art on a more regular basis. I wish you a pleasant tour.

Sharing my work and process through the years have given me oportunities to work 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.

I have an ETSY shop: HelenstromARTworks

and you can find reproductions of my work for sale on onekingslane.com

Please feel free to contact me for any question, or if you wish to purchase or use any other available piece of my work.

(You can look into the last nine years of work in the "The Archive", or make a research with a keyword under "Labels")

Thank you for your visit!

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."
