Notes
“My pieces of work are mostly creations coming from my imagination, and even if they are sometimes illustrations for one precise book or purpose, I work by inspiration, by lights or compositions. I like to create atmospheres and suggest, by one single print, a part of a story. And here is probably the poetic aspect of my work: to suggest rather than to tell. I want to let the spectator free to imagine and dream of, thanks to the engraving expressivity.” - Helene Bautista, 2020
After a Master degree in Compared Literatures between France and Canada, Helene taught French and foreign literature for over 20 years. “As I have always drawn what I was reading, and because of a visual handicap which encouraged me to reconsider what I wanted to do and who I wanted to be, I decided a few years ago to become a professional illustrator. From this first step into graphic arts, I came to engraving in 2013, and have quickly dedicated myself to printmaking artwork.”
