Profil: Helen Kholin

Mit kunst-navn er Helen Kholin.


Jeg er født d. 13 august 1985 i Sankt Petersborg, bor og arbejder i København.

I 2009 flyttede jeg til København (fra 2004 rejste nogle gange). Jeg er færdiguddannet på det Ruslands Nationale Åbne Institut og i en kunstskole i Sankt Petersborg. Jeg har også taget kurser i grafiske applikationer på Institutet af informatiske teknologier, samt har jeg været på kurser i floristik og keramik. Jeg deltog i fællesudstillinger i Sankt-Petersborg under mit gammelt kunst-navn – Dobraja.Jeg har derudover skabt en stor mængde af billeder, forskellige grafiske værker, omslag til musikplader, emballager til nytårsbolsjer, design til brændkamre, emballager til te kiks, og endda design af geværkolber. Udover det har jeg kundskab til animationer og ganske stor erfaring som en grafisk designer.


Kærligheden til at eksperimentere kan tit ses i mine værker og så på denne grund skaber jeg og kalder dem – serier. Hver serie er en separat historie, en periode af livet, emotioner og begivenheder. Alt i verden ændres og så ændrer jeg mig og forsøger at finde en ny måde, en ny middel.

Jeg håber, at mine billeder vil være i stand til at vække jeres følelser, og det er lige meget om disse følelser er negative eller positive, det vigtigste er at følelser manifesteres, fordi ligegyldighed og følelsesløshed er tomheden i hvilken vores idagsverden synker.


Tak for jeres opmærksomhed.
Med venlig hilsen.

Helen Kholin


Om serierne:

Regn

Regn – er det et naturfænomen, en sindstilstand, eller en sammensættelse af følelser?
Hvilke tanker springer dig i hovedet og hvordan banker dit hjerte når du hører regn uden for vinduet.
Hvert menneske har sin egen regn, møde regn, forelsket regn, trist regn, glad- og sørgelig regn, syngende, kaldende og legende regn.
Der er regn som kærligt vækker dig op om morgenen, eller skriger højt på dig om dagen, får dig til at være trist om aftenen og synger stille til dig om natten.
De er alle forskellige regn, de smukke lyde uden for vinduet, faldende dråber og de usædvanlige mønstre på glasset af dine vinduer.
Regn til alle, og regn kun til dig! De flygtige og tynde stoffer, fortryllende transformation af vandet og menneskets følelser, udfører sin symfoni og lader alt væsen finde og føle sin egen regn.


Linjer

Alt består af linjer! Vi består af linjer, vore blodkar svøber om vor krop, vort linje-hår røres af vinden, vore byer er svøbet af veje og tråd, små vandløb slutte sig til floder. Lyd og lys, solopgang og solnedgang, liv og død, alt kan beskrives med linjer.
Linjer krydser hinanden, går fra hinanden, linjer sammenfletter og sprænger i luften. De lever. De lever over alt.

Tak for jeres opmærksomhed.

Med venlig hilsen.
Helen Kholin

Engelsk beskrivelse:

Helen Kholin:

Art is a great way to share thoughts because even when we are silent, the art continues to speak. A persons feelings are varied and changeable, so my pictures also are different. Sometimes they are about love, other times about anger, loneliness or finding of lifepath. Sometimes they are about family, about people we have lost or about people, we have not yet met.
My paintings are feelings, experiences, emotions; images or chaotic lines, bright or dark periods of life. They are individual. They are like people, each with its own character and history.

I participated in different Art Fairs and had exhibitions in countries such as Great Britain, Netherlands, Russia, Germany, Monaco and Denmark. Some of my artworks were sold to private collections in countries like Denmark, Netherlands, Germany, United Kingdom and Russia.
