Helen Karanika was born and raised in Greece and has lived and worked in Montreal since 1987. Helen's art training comes from painting, drawing classes, and workshops, along with personal study and continuous experimentation. She works primarily with acrylics and other water-based media on paper and canvas. Helen's focus is on making abstract works - sometimes, but not necessarily, based on real-life observation. She creates vivid collage works by combining pieces of drawings and paintings. "I love discovering surprising connections and relationships between shapes, colors, and lines that are not immediately obvious," says Helen.
Helen Karanika est née et a grandi en Grèce. Elle vit et travaille à Montréal depuis 1987. La formation artistique d'Helen provient de cours et d'ateliers de peinture et de dessin, ainsi que d'études personnelles et d'expérimentations continues. Elle travaille principalement avec des acryliques et d'autres médiums à base d'eau sur papier et sur toile. Helen se concentre sur la création d'œuvres abstraites - parfois, mais pas nécessairement, basées sur des observations de la vie réelle. Elle crée des collages vivants en combinant des morceaux de dessins et de peintures. "J'aime découvrir des liens et des relations surprenantes entre les formes, les couleurs et les lignes qui ne sont pas immédiatement évidentes", déclare Helen.
