‘Veni, Vidi, Sgraffiti’, Helene Mukhtar’s new series of mixed media paintings are based on photographs of graffiti and mural paintings she took in New York, Paris and Berlin.

The work of this New York artist reflects the uncertainty and unease permeating our societies today. In this latest series, she uses the “emotional outbursts covering the walls of our cities” as a starting point for her creative exploration.

Printed on paper and collaged onto the canvas, these photographs are integrated into a painting, overlaid with oil or acrylic paint. The result: compelling, sometimes humorous, always visually pleasing and complex images, enriched with bright, muscular colors. Her energy and dynamic personality are reflected in her work and in titles such as, “Blow up”, “Burst”, “Mine field” and “Triumphant Trumpets”.
