HELENA PALAZZI "Maidens in Mystic Lands" Fine Art
Helena Palazzi found inspiration in Nordic mythology, Viking women warriors (called "Shield Maidens"), and forest spirits for this fine art photography series.
The images presented here are photographic reproductions of one-of-a-kind portrait and landscape artworks Helena creates in her art studio. For the original pieces, she uses various media and techniques, from shooting with an infrared camera to add a certain otherworldliness to her colors, to printing the different image layers on fragile rice paper before sealing them with encaustic.
The reproductions are printed on luster paper, something with a little bit of shine, to better replicate the depth of the original wax-covered pieces.
