HELLE CHRISTENSEN

Helle Christensen fortæller: Ofte kan mine malerier relateres til mindst ét af to mottoer:

• Vi ser, hvad vi oplever, og oplever, hvad vi ser.
• Et sted er mange steder.

Malerierne er sammen med deres titler kulisser, hvori du måske kan genkalde dine egne oplevelser, historier, begivenheder eller stemninger. Det er ikke min intention at skildre bestemte lokationer, selvom den næsten altomfattende natur omkring mig på Stevns i nogen udstrækning smitter af.

Jeg maler hovedsageligt akryl- og oliemalerier, men arbejder også med ægtempera, monotypier (en trykteknik), collager og mixed media-billeder. Min baggrund er en uddannelse som billedkunstlærer, suppleret med en PD i Billedkunst og Æstetik.

Helle Christensen shares: My paintings can often be related to at least one of two mottos:

• We see what we experience, and experience what we see.
• One place is many places.

Together with their titles, my paintings serve as settings in which you may recall your own experiences, stories, events, or moods. It is not my intention to depict specific locations, although the almost all-encompassing nature that surrounds me on Stevns inevitably finds its way into my work to some extent.

I primarily paint in acrylics and oils, but I also work with egg tempera, monotypes (a printmaking technique), collages, and mixed-media artworks. My background is in art education, supplemented by a Postgraduate Diploma (PD) in Visual Arts and Aesthetics.
