“This type of meditation is about self-control, when your eyes are open and you are moving your body parts while walking, but still can concentrate on your inner feelings rather than outer factors.”

Helen managed to comprehend how to stay focused on your feelings while being disturbed by all the objects and sound outside. She did it through the concentration on colors of everything outside and her personal attitude and feelings from these colors.

Helen says that the ideas of below paintings was born in the trance states of mind.

Travelling to the Carpathians

Helen left Italy when she was 27, and it was caused by her desire to go back to the homeland and create her art there.

“It was my last ingredient in the recip of my own art, the feeling of home. I felt that I would never have this feeling of home anywhere, even in sunny Italy. Ukraine was in my heart”

The artist moved to western part of Ukraine and dedicated herself to travelling around this beautiful region. The next stage of her inspiration was hiking and Mountaiscape admiring. “The more I was thinking about my perception of the world the more I realized that I take inspiration in something big and powerful. Mountains, sea, skyscrapers ets. And in my works, I tried to describe inner feelings from all the objects of my admiration”. After her hiking experience, she was staying a lot of time at home and was just trying to recall the impressions over the Mountains she saw.

She brought a small notebook everywhere with her , she wrote down the emotions she felt at this or that time during her trips as well as made tiny sketches of the views.

Paris

As a fan of big and powerful things Helen traveled to Paris, as this is absolutely a city of huge size landmarks. She was in love with Paris and she haven`t made mistake when she came to there.

“Louvre and Versalle were awesome, but have you ever noticed how big all the landmarks are? These people knew what to build to impress the tourists” Helen realized that a weekend in Paris is nothing to get to know this city and to dive into it`s tiniest cultural aspects. She went back there in several month and lived 1 month in Paris, studying all the landmarks and streets accurately. No details were missed.

“It was exciting experience, I felt myself in another world, very unknown one, but the one which was getting more and more familiar to me with every next day.”
