About Wendy Helmes

I'm a Dutch artist, adventurer, physiotherapist, people lover, story teller and faith-driven soul,

based in Konstanz, Germany. ​

 

I believe every person is wonderfully made, with unique qualities that bring goodness into the world.

 

My artwork celebrates identity, diversity, and human potential, highlighting the precious value of each individual. Through my art, I hope to inspire and uplift, reminding you of your beauty, uniqueness, and talents, and encouraging you to embrace your full potential and live your story with courage.

My inspiration

Life, people, and my faith are my greatest sources of inspiration. I'm an adventurous soul, who has worked, lived, and volunteered in several countries. This gave me the opportunity to meet many incredible people from different backgrounds, and it made me realize how beautifully unique we all are—each with our own strengths, yet equally valuable.

This appreciation for humanity is at the heart of my art.

I believe every person is wonderfully created, and my greatest wish is for everyone to recognize, embrace, and celebrate their own beauty and worth, and to have the courage to live their story with full potential.

My art style

My art blends diverse techniques—collage, spray paint, ink, charcoal, markers, pastels, acrylics, and oils— to create layered, expressive pieces.

 

Primarily focused on portraiture, I capture the essence of each individual, portraying emotions, inner strength, and personal stories. Next to that I'm also painting and drawing the human body, inspired by my background as a physiotherapist and love for the body’s movement. I know we are more capable than we realize, and like I challenge my patients to push their limits, I aim to challenge viewers with my art to think bigger and embrace their full potential.

I approach every creation as a new experiment, to stay free to discover new materials and techniques that add depth and meaning.

My Studio

My art studio, filled with light and offering a beautiful view, is where all my creative ideas come to life. Since moving here in fall 2022, it has become a space for experimentation and growth. The building, which had been vacant for about 15 years, has since been transformed into a dynamic hub for creativity, housing numerous other studios and small businesses.

In my studio, I enter a completely different world, where I can spend hours working on a new piece, exploring new techniques and materials to better express the stories I want to tell through my art.

You are welcome to explore my artwork and experience the creative ambiance of my studio during open studio days or during the building's annual open house. Subscribe to my newsletter to stay informed about the dates.

A big and humble thank you!

Thank you so much for being part of my journey and supporting me every step of the way. Your encouragement and belief in my work brings my work and vision to life. Thank you for welcoming my art into your world, for witnessing the creative process, and for being you—your presence and light make the world a more beautiful place.

Much love, Wendy
