About me

My name is Helena Mernissi and I am an artist, living and working in Stockholm. My studio, at Platform Stockholm by Triangle, is my little oasis where I happily welcome both customers and art-interested people. As a self-taught artist, I work with a variety of media and am mainly focused on abstract art within fluid art. Since I was a child, I have had a strong need to express myself creatively. At the age of 17, I became an apprentice chef, which led to a job as a chef and later as a kitchen manager – a profession that has given me, for 30 years, the opportunity to exercise my creativity.

During the 90s, in parallel with the cooking profession, I worked as a diving instructor. For almost a decade I lived in various tropical countries, spending hours under the surface every day, while painting. The sea, which became my second element, greatly inspired me and became a source of my artistic expression. My art is deeply inspired by the world of the sea – its creatures, the reef formations, the colors of the corals, the changing shades of the sea and the fantastic reflections of the sun and moon.

By diving and freediving, I have collected countless impressions that are now reflected in my works.

Life is a journey and my art is the stamps along the way. I hope that through my art you get a glimpse of the experiences and passion that have shaped me.
