Helene Eliot's work  ranges  from  abstract  to  figurative  artworks  and  collages,  including  her

"Small World Big World" mini-installation artworks that are made from found artefacts combined to create poetic and thought provoking statements; and her signature "Running Painting" artworks which question the typical relationship and coexistence between a medium and its background, allow the paint to have an existence of its own, freed from the canvas.

Her figurative work uses personal elements belonging to the people depicted, as a way of "constructing" the image. Those "Pop" works often involve collages. “After Dad” is made of seven hundred pieces taken from her father's garden encyclopaedia; whereas: “I can not be in the present anymore” includes big dots that are collages of reproductions of her son's artworks. In her abstract works Helene often engages more physically, her movements guiding the mediums whose layers tell us a story.

​

Recurrent  themes in Helene Eliot's work are:  the physical and mental limitations people face;  

the capacity children have to wander through various scales and to make different worlds cohabit, both imaginary and real; a reflection on violence, on the meaning and the concept of time and beauty.

Helene Eliot is currently working on a new abstract series.
