Bio

Bergen based artist and designer, Helen Emily, born in Madrid in 1998, has been  developing her skills as a interior and furniture designer for the past years. After  studying Fine Arts in Madrid, she realized that art can be much more than just a  unique piece that you go see somewhere, but something you can benefit from  experiencing in ordinary life. That’s when she decided to study a master in spatial  design, to be able to explore the power of art and design in physical and social  environments and their effect in well-being. She is greatly inspired by sculpture,  which allows to engage in space, scale, volume and more.
