HELENA OLAUSSON

‘I want my art to touch. With happiness and confidence, which is something that occurs in myself when I create my paintings.’ 

Helena Olausson, an artist who has found herself in the world of art and who feels a strong need to express herself with canvas and brushes and create stories that only the viewer can interpret. "Art should always be a bit provocative and rebellious," she says. The seductive also has its place where she highlights the female body and its attractiveness just by attaching on canvas lingerie, a corset, a pair of red shoes and letting the viewer form an idea, a thought, a memory, or just dream about an unfulfilled desire.

Creating art with a sense of luxury, flamboyance and feminine power is indeed Helena's greatest inspiration and drive. Many paintings convey a story of taking control of one's life.

She has her studio in Uddevalla where she paints full time "out in the country", where she also finds her inspiration. Helena has taken part in several solo exhibitions and art fairs in Sweden, and now she is trying to find ways to take part internationally.

Without a doubt, she can be said to be one of the "modern women" of the 2020s, imprinting modernity, femininity and Swedishness into her canvas.
