Hélène Glowinski
As a child, Hélène was already drawing patterns on her dolls' dresses. As a teenager, she cut out and wove advertising postcards. So it was only natural that she should study art. She went to architecture school, where she learned three-dimensional vision and the art of model-making. But immersed in the professional world, she missed working with her hands. Hélène enrolled in the engraving section of the City of Paris evening classes, which proved to be a revelation. From then on, artistic work would take precedence over architecture.
She has since perfected her xylogravure skills. She is experimenting with woodblock, which she likes for its economy of means and the search for images through superimposition.
His work increasingly emphasizes the material of his matrices and their alteration as the print runs.
Using a variety of printmaking techniques, Hélène develops a universe between motif and abstraction, where graphic or fantastical landscapes come together.
