Helga Joergens

I find consolation in nature, particularly in these dark times. Many of my works depict landscapes but they are imagined scenes. I start without a preconceived idea. The image develops in the painting process which is like a dialogue between the emerging picture and me. Despite the dark elements like clouds or rocks which seem to threaten the viewer, there is light that gives us hope. This light of hope is very important to me. Here, acrylic gouache paint was used. Its strong colour saturation intensifies the expression of the image. However, if diluted with water, it appears like watercolour.
