THE CAGE

love how she is tapping the cage like to see if she is still alive ….and the crack on the wall..with the key ..your work sceams with emotion

Powerful, strong work as always. xoxoo

You creative mind Helene is so open to ideas. I just love you for it.

There is always so much going on in your paintings Helene. I love those clocks you do. The chain is very realistic … cleverly painted.

You really have a great style, and this is certainly no exception to that.

beautifully haunting as always, helene :) nicely done!

You are one very creative woman Helene ! Bravo !!!!!

Extremely creative and powerful artwork ! There´s so much in it. I´ll have to come back repeatedly to it . Thanks for sharing.

You have an exceptional talent of using visual metaphors to express deep emotional states in your powerful paintings. To fully appreciate your work, it takes time to view the many images that communicate important messages in your compelling artwork. The icons of the clock, the chain, cage and the key on the wall among other icons are like symbols in dreams leading us down the royal road to your unconscious. Like many artists or creative dreamers, you may not know at the time the meaning of what Jung referred to as archetypes in your paintings. Primary process, our first non-verbal language flows easily from your abundant and rich psyche As you have said art is your therapy, a powerful healing process. I love your style and admire your strong and exceptionally creative spirit that allows for infinite freedom in your fascinating artwork.

Love this image much emotion in it.

Helene.. your work is so expansive.. on the theme.. how you treating your heart today? Love this piece and YOU! I just found your group.. I kinda think.. cause TeriLee said.. go lina,,,, that is what you love you surrealist fool you!! I bow to the Queen.. ahhh there I go again.. on and on.. you what I feel.. anyway.. glad you have a group that I can learn so much from..xox

My body is soaked from the tears that spontaneously burst from my eyes when I saw this new work of yours, sister…..
God how I love the way you have rightly been entrusted with the metaphor!!!!
And damn if you didn’t find my heart and soul exactly where it was!!! The way she taps at the cage to see if it is still alive…..just brings me to a sobbing heap on the floor, Helene…..your ART is a gift…no more like a savior…..I love you, Helene, my heart.
Thank you for this.
XOXO

I think was about to say something like Julie said (if I knew that many words)... or perhaps I was just going to say…cool…beautiful…and wow, so talented

Wow…This is fantastic Helene…Love this:)

powerful and grisly, oh yes indeed. your work is so visceral, it grabs you and makes you have a good look. what is hanging on the wall? there is a key on the right but what is hanging on the left of the clock?

You are brilliant Helen!!

Your art is amazing, I think we can all relate to this in so many different ways…..Superb work…..

oh Helene !!!!!! WOW Im moved…..... your brilliance in depicting this subject, and I can’t help but feel sad, great work xxx

wow

That hurts!! I’ll leave the rest to others, except WELL DONE dear friend.

O beautiful painting sweetheART ;} huggzz

You really have a fantastic idea, and this work is so wonderful…..

Brilliant original work! lovely colors and composition!

Outstanding…Our hearts all feel caged at times!!!!!!!!!

Powerfully symbolic and creative, as ever, Helene. I feel a non-traditional abstract painting coming on, myself!

The heart in the chain-suspended cage, with the morose face peering into it, is pure magic.

quite A very powerful image!!

ho hello and hi pal hope all is well thanks for coming by helene here art and friends have a good day of art and what ever contents your heart

oh oh! stupid me ruizee i for got to say!! wow one more to the gut painting your a brave soul, putting it all out there in color and line some get pissed off at fate and kill them selfs you have killed the dam canvas with gusto an style! wow what a !!! hey i understand repressed. poop too, your my hero helene, stronzo guta forsa! as my buddy roco barbuto used to say

Please dont misunderstand this, but for me I see the power of pain being expressed positively in your paintings and as you have said before it helps relieve somewhat for a while painting it out , fantastic as always Helene Paul :)

Great painting!

Stunning helene!

Great work Helene!

i love the entire painting … you have such great ideas and know how to use em … it took me a while but my fav little touch is the clock being almost upside down … like the hearts done time

Wow is this amazing work Helene. One of your best yet in my opinion.

Great imagination.

Stunning colors and awesome framing, nice work! interesting emotions!

=)

A very powerful and emotive piece. There are so many elements in it….fantastic work!

A bird of strange delusion.
The clocks are announcing the stop of its beating.
In the metaphor of dreams..
they are living organs of our own.
The cycle of Life Death mocking our self-security.
A discipline of the senses,
when all our spinal chord has gone wild.
Rosa 8as usual… overwhelming….Helene)

Scary thought, but why not….

clocks are popping up in your work a lot – feeling your age perhaps?

this work reminds me of my mom – a life spent with her heart in a cage – just wanting to feel-be whole. I am working on a written work that I will be posting soon. it is on how i got myself in tune with my heart. YOU are the greatest. Love your heArt.

congratulations on your feature, helene!!

Does it sing, helene?
does it?
Does it ask for soul feeding?
Does it sleep in its silenced nights?
So sad…..
bleeding walls,
fallen hours…so sad.
Rosa (at last I have found it which it has given me the shock of finding your display ot works all together…..screaming, screeching, moaning and palpitating in a thousand forms, and many of them so painful…but they are really pure Life in the selves…. hug for you, helene)
