About Helen Bellart

Strong colour compositions and vivid motifs are Helen Bellart’s trademark. Her silk scarves and handbags turn heads on the international fashion scene.

Lush poppy flowers, enchanting masks, or a face-to-face with a leopard – Helen Bellart’s works swiftly claim all attention. The profusion of colours radiates happiness and joy of life, quite in line with the easy-going temperament of the vivacious designer: “Each finished piece gives me an amazing feeling of joy,” says the 31-year-old, who discovered her gift for painting as a child.

A native of Nitra, Slovakia, Bellart took up residence in Vienna for eight years immediately after she finished school. Alongside her professional work at the Vienna Volksoper, she perfected her aquarelle painting skills. She took classes in acrylic and oil painting with Jan Fekete, assistant professor at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava and the University of Applied Arts in Vienna.

Since 2012, Helen Bellart has been living in Zaragoza and Marbella, Spain. Her paintings have become even more expressive and varied since the move. The flair of the south evidently sparks her creativity. Fine brush strokes take turns with contoured reliefs striking an interesting contrast to the warm, cheerful colours.

The artist draws additional inspiration from her travels to New York, London, Vienna or Paris. The hustle and bustle and the multi-cultural charm of these metropolises fascinate her. Openness is the elixir of life for Bellart, who speaks seven languages: “I am constantly searching for new motifs and I observe the world around me with much love and attention. This keeps giving me new ideas, which I then realise on the canvas.” After a visit to the Venice Carnival she created an entire series, which offered a completely new interpretation of the topic of masks.

Sought-after Designer Pieces

The colourful resplendence of flora and fauna spontaneously triggers a longing for the sun and summer and cheers one up on a wet, gloomy November day. We owe this to the fact that Helen Bellart has made the leap from painting to design. In 2015 Helen Bellart debuts in fashion market with a new concept: Her works are digitally transferred onto scarves made out of 100% pure Italian silk. A professional team of artisans in Barcelona cut and stitch each individual scarf by hand or turn it into a high-end handbag or some other accessory. All Helen Bellart’s products are handmade in Spain.

These designer pieces are available in her online-shop and through a network of carefully chosen distributors in Spain, England, Italy and France, as well as in Canada, Australia and the USA. The demand for her pieces surprised the young artist, and reaffirmed her decision to walk the untrodden path: “My optimistic approach to life, my sense of humour and my pursuit of perfection and satisfaction are reflected in my Works."
