“I hope to instill a mood, a feeling into my art. It’s a diary entry of sorts. Things that I don’t always know how to express with words.”

- Helena Gullstrom

“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.”

- Franklyn Liegel

”Strong voice of the future.”

- Jerry Saltz, Senior Art Critic at New York Magazine, 2018 Pulitzer Prize winner.
