A bench, a silhouette with a hat, a checkerboard, stairs ...
Symbolic and narrative, the patterns created by Hélène Bautista evolve in a strange temporality. They mysteriously pop up in a corner of the plate, disappear and come back. They tell a story with a mysterious intrigue ...
Born in Rodez, Hélène teaches French in Paris. Her love for literature led her to edition and prints. Through the illustrations of Félix Vallotton, Gustave Doré, Frans Masereel, she discovered the art of engraving, which she has been practicing for almost ten years, in intaglio and linoleum.
