Helena Gullström is a Swedish born artist that relocated to Los Angeles, CA when she was 20 years old. She recently moved back to Sweden in the fall of 2020 after having spent 26 years in Los Angeles.

She makes abstract figurative paintings as well as sculptures, using materials including oil, acrylic, concrete and metal.

After settling into Los Angeles she studied with well-known Los Angeles artist and revered art professor Franklyn Liegel at Otis College of Art and Design and he became a dear friend and guiding mentor. She has exhibited in USA, Sweden, India and Italy and has collectors worldwide.

“Gullström pulls the alienated spectrum of human feelings from the world around her into sometimes almost genderless, fluid depictions of emotion masquerading as human form on a thematic canvas that one can only perceive as ones own unconscious psyche.

She seems to dip paintbrush and fingers into the very archetypal, unconscious energies and needs we all share for organic wholeness.” -Lenora Willette Flores

“The generous physical layers of paint and combined materials in Helena Gullström’s art creates a dreamlike imaginary world. The essence is both romantic and soulful. The work has the flavour of magic and miracles.”
