Transparent Sphere – Dance of the Water Winds (2024) Painting by Helene Luise Schenk

For more than 30 years, I have been active in the art scene, continually developing my skills and techniques with the help of various artists. My work is deeply rooted in nature, with water in all its forms playing a central role. Through my art, I reflect the beauty and complexity of the natural world, capturing both the movement and reflection, as well as the hidden and the visible.

I primarily work with flowing acrylics, which I apply in multiple layers. Additionally, I incorporate cyanotype techniques, allowing me to create unique, deeply layered compositions. This combination of acrylic and cyanotype adds impressive depth and dynamism to my pieces. By playing with transparency and layering, I create works that invite viewers to discover new details again and again. The creative use of these techniques gives my art a distinctive complexity and richness.

The themes of my work are diverse, but nature and water remain at the forefront. I explore the moving and reflective qualities of water, which I view as symbols of change and reflection. Through the layering of acrylics and the integration of cyanotype, I achieve a depth that mirrors the complexity of the natural world.

A recurring motif in my work is the ethereal sphere, which serves as a connection between the human-made and nature. This sphere symbolizes the mysterious, the mystical, and the pure. The ambiguity of the sphere—whether it is made of glass, water, or air, or represents the moon—encourages reflection and interpretation.

I work with a deliberately limited color palette to create a sense of harmony, tranquility, and clarity. The colors are chosen to highlight the natural elements and their interactions. The refreshing clarity of the sea’s movement or the serene clarity of a morning landscape are central aspects of my work. Through this intentional use of color, I create pieces that are both aesthetically pleasing and deeply thoughtful.

My artworks offer an in-depth exploration of nature and its elements. My techniques and themes invite the viewer to explore the complexity and beauty of the natural world. The combination of flowing acrylics and cyanotype, along with the symbolic ethereal sphere, creates a unique visual language that encourages reflection and wonder. I live and work as a freelance artist, exhibiting my work both nationally and internationally in galleries and at art fairs. Discover the fascinating depth and richness of my art, and be inspired by the harmony and tranquility that my pieces convey.
