Hélène is a French/German illustrator and designer who lives in Berlin.

"There are no lines in nature, only areas of colour, one against another"
said painter Édouard Manet.

This quote evokes a principle that is strong in Hélène’s life and work.

Coming from a diverse cultural background, what defines her universe is a sense of “collage” and kaleidoscopic identity. She creates vibrant spaces where through humour, magic and idealism, elements from different cultures coexist in peace and diversity is celebrated.

The colourful images draw inspiration from her environment and personal life but also largely from mythology, black history, art, textiles, books and nature.
