Hélène Gélinas's paintings reveal a concern for this intimate, transparent world, beyond the technical domain and current artistic trends.
Born in Shawinigan (Québec, Canada), Hélène Gélinas studied graphic design in California and Australia, painting in Seville with Jesús Alcántara, and pictorial restoration in Barcelona. This set of different disciplines and geographical locations is reflected in her work. With a clearly realistic style, her paintings show special attention in the construction of the image. The process starts with a quick pencil sketch and continues with a work of layers where often the backgrounds acquire a primary role in the final result.
