Helga Renders

‘I love distorting realism with unusual colour combinations. Hinting at familiarity but leaving scope for imagination.’

Helga Renders was born in 1968 in Beerse, Belgium. She lives and works in Herentals.

As a Self-taught painter she brings a fragile sensitivity and melancholy in her realistic work.
Her art is expressive, combined with an inner strength.
She expresses herself using colours and light to create an other dimension of reality.

Her handcrafted sculptures reflect a unique expression and a subtle vulnerability that enhance her artistic creations.
