Artist statement
Helena Rye is a fine artist born in Denmark, living and working in Slagelse. Her work explores inner transformation, inviting viewers into ethereal, dreamlike realms that transcend the physical. Through her intuitive process, she weaves together flowing elements of water, silk drapery, and florals, creating harmonic compositions that evoke a sense of peace, belonging, and solace in a chaotic world. Her use of soft pastels, with their fluid and organic qualities, enables her to layer and refine her compositions, letting each piece emerge organically. Her works take the viewer on a meditative journey, encouraging introspection and offering a space for reflection and calmness. Helena Rye’s art bridges the tangible and the spiritual, inviting viewers to reconnect with their inner selves and embrace the fluidity and beauty of life.
