Wieteke Heldens

This work is part of the series Still Counting, a continuation of her previous series called Legends. In this new body of work, Heldens reflects the positive changes in her personal life through the use of vibrant colors, particularly the healing color green.

Wieteke Heldens' artwork is inspired by the work of other artists. The size of her paintings directly references the precise dimensions of paintings by Hilma af Klint. You can also see influences from Willem de Kooning's use of colors, Helen Frankenthaler's physical pouring technique and the way she turns her canvases, and the numbering systems used by On Kawara.
