About

Belgian artist Greet Helsen masterfully layers acrylic paint with a transparency of watercolor paint in her large mixed media artworks. The shimmering colored areas are superimposed and transparent and are accentuated by ink lines and white light reflecting fields of color. This process produces artworks with unmistakable lightness and softness. Her artworks include unique textures and beautiful details in the surfaces. They have been exhibited in numerous international art galleries and art fairs and have been collected worldwide.

In addition to several layers of acrylic paint, Helsen subtly uses ink and other mixed media to compliment the fields of colors, adding depth within her works. This colorful artwork is 20 inches high by 28 inches wide. It is framed in a thin modern white wood frame. It is signed on the front. It is wired and ready to hang. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and global shipping. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included.

Greet Helsen

Greet Helsen was born in 1962 in Hoogstraten, Belgium. Following her graduation in 1984 from her art studies with Italian painter B. Assenza, she continued her independent educational and artistic works.

In 1986 Helsen founded her own art school in Dortmund, Germany which she continued to direct for the next twelve years. Following a short break from teaching while focusing on her own creative growth, she held classes until 2012 at the Assenza Visual Art School Basel, located in Münchenstein, Switzerland. She then took over the management of the NetzWerk Malerei art school also in Münchenstein, Switzerland. Greet Helsen currently works and lives near Basel, Switzerland.

In her abstract works she uses mainly acrylic, but utilizes the medium like watercolor, bringing a lightness into her paintings. The shimmering colors are transparent and are accentuated by ink lines and reflecting and highlighting large swathes of color. This process gives the paintings unmistakable lightness and softness with harmonious combinations of bright color blocks and lines set against white backgrounds.
