Helena Mertens 1994 - wild heart

Dear Sir or Madam,

For sale is this hand-painted and signed painting measuring 50x50 cm from 2026 by the Düsseldorf-based artist Helena Mertens. It is a unique piece titled "wild heart", signed and dated on the back. The painting is auctioned together with the pictured canvas frame and the custom-made shadow-gap frame. The painting can optionally be collected directly in Düsseldorf at the artist's studio. An authenticity certificate is issued and will be included.

Inspired by the magic of Southeast Asia, this artwork stands for diving into unknown worlds and originates from the artist's current body of work: “The Encounter with the New, Otherness and the Yet the Same fascinate me and are central sources of inspiration for my artworks. “Finding Peace” is a series in which I process special moments and phases of my stays in Asia in various formats. The combination of oil pastels, chalk pastels and acrylic paint unfolds for me the magic of an expanded creative space.”
