Welcome to me and my world
My name is Helena Mernissi and I am a resident and active artist in Stockholm
I am the soul of a Passionate artist who has been painting since childhood
My professions in the baggage are headchef / chef since the age of 17, a creative magical profession that I have alternated since the 90s with working as a diving instructor
my 2 professions gave me a life with many years of traveling and living abroad
2 years ago I completely re-saddled professionally, which meant that I got more creative time at home
Creating is my passion and energy charge for the soul, there is nothing more fun than going completely into my fantasy world
Welcome to me and my world
If you want something different and unique that captures the room
then I feel that my works are something for you, the daring art lover
I hope you find something that concerns you right here
MY ART
My art reflects all my travels, my memories and experiences ..
my daily hours under the surface as a diving instructor
I lived and worked as a diving instructor in different tropical countries for 10 years as a. Thailand, Maldives, Egypt ..
There will be many diving trips now when I´m living in Sweden again
It shaped my art expression enormously
The beautiful creatures, the colors, the formations, the coral reefs, the big blue, the sun and the moon's reflections in everything below the surface and on the surface out at sea
That whole world became and is my 2 element.
that world is reflected in my art in different ways in colors shapes and expressions
I need different expressions I carry within me
there is always a common thread in every artist
a human being has many sides soulwise, so does art within us
art should evoke a feeling ,a freely interpreted feeling only you within are touched by
my art may be different but that's how I want it, it's me
I paint for a single purpose - to be happy not to fit in
every brush stroke is a part of me and a painting I painted is a part of my life
Art is created from the heart and soul on the path I walk
I hope you see a glimpse of everything I have experienced in my paintings just as I do
Life is a journey .... the paintings are my stamps on the way ...
