Portugal

These are some photos I took in my last trip to Portugal last summer. Such a beautiful country!

New Prints Coming Soon!

I'm planning to sell new prints in my online shop, like The Little Mermaid in the picture which is available for pre-order.

Also, if you're interested in buying a print of any illustration (even if it's not in the shop) just contact me at

helena@helenaperezgarcia.com.

Frank Chimero

While looking through books searching information for my master final project, I came across the work of Frank

Chimero. Among his work are these great designs for designers.

Teresina

Teresina (or a tribute to Magritte).
"Halló lo que le diferenciaba de Teresina; ella era distinta, era infantil y primitivamente sana. Esta muchacha, como todas

las personas, como él mismo había hecho antes, confiaba siempre de forma instintiva en el futuro, en el mañana, en el

pasado mañana, en la continuación. (...). Y él lo sentía profundamente; en esto era él completamente distinto. Para él

detrás de cada sensación y pensamiento estaba abierta la puerta que conducía a la nada. Tenía miedo a muchas cosas,

al absurdo, a la policía, al insomnio, miedo a la muerte. (...)".

Klein y Wagner. Herman Hesse.

Little Red Riding Hood & The Wolf

Don't get fooled by the wolves...

No te dejes engañar por los lobos...

New lens

These are some random photos from last month taken with my brand new 50 mm 1.4 lens. So happy with it! (The third

pic is by my dearest friend Alicia).

Marquise de Merteuil

From the book Les Liaisons Dangereuses.

Submerged

I took these photos a year ago with a cheap waterproof disposable camera and I've just had the film developed. The use-by

date of the film passed in 2007 so I guess that's the reason for the blurry effect which, by the way, I love.

Septiembre

"Julio se ha consumido, pronto se consumirá agosto; de repente en una mañana llena de rocío el gran espectro

nos hará temblar al salir del amarillo follaje. De repente noviembre barrerá el bosque. De pronto el espectro reirá,

de pronto se nos helará el corazón, de pronto se nos caerá de los huesos la querida carne rosada, (...)".

El último verano de Klingsor. Herman Hesse.

Summertime

Some weeks ago I stumbled across these old pictures from the beginning of the 20th century and I wanted to

share them with you. Enjoy! Source.

The Little Mermaid

The Catcher in the Rye

Personal project. Cover design and illustration."The catcher in the rye" by J.D. Salinger; a highly recommended

novel for these summer holidays!

Frozen food

This illustration was supposed to be another version of Snow Queen, but it turned out to be a frozen food princess.
