About

Belgian artist Greet Helsen masterfully layers acrylic paint with the effervescent transparency of watercolors in her large mixed media abstract paintings. Reminiscent of abstract expressionism and lively color field paintings of Helen Frankenthaler, Helsen's shimmering pastel planes are accentuated by meandering ink lines and rhythmic pops of contrasting colors.

This process produces artworks with unmistakable lightness and softness. Her artworks also include unique textures and beautiful details along the surfaces. 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 24-inch tall and 64-inch wide horizontal fine art painting is framed in a thin white wood frame. Size and price include frame. It is signed on the front, wired and ready to hang. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included.

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

In 1986 Helsen founded her own art school in Dortmund, Germany, which she also directed for twelve years. In 1995, her son Mathias was born. After a three year hiatus she gave classes until 2012 at the Assenza art school in Münchenstein. She then took over the management of the NetzWerk art school Münchenstein, Switzerland. Helsen currently lives near Basel, Switzerland. Her abstract paintings have been exhibited in numerous international art galleries and art fairs and have been collected worldwide.

Greet Helsen

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 her abstract works, she uses mainly acrylic, but utilizes the medium like watercolor, bringing 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.

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.
