Visual Artist
Nina Helledie holds a BA and an MA in Fine Arts from Funen Art Academy
Her artistic practice explores movement, response, and emergence. Rooted in intuitive processes, her work has given rise to an ongoing investigation of systemic thinking, relational understandings, and the interconnectedness of natural and societal systems.
Interior and exterior landscape
Helledie has over the last 14 years developed an abstract method mark in making, she has through the 14 years continuously produced works and further developed the method. it has been a common thread throughout her artistic practice. The works are created through repetition, intuition, rhythm, vibrations and in an interplay between internal and external movementsand. And is saturated underdevelopment and production
Body-Based Research
Helledie’s body-based research developed through two years of immersion in body therapy and somatic practices. The investigation approached the body as a dynamic system, continuously shaped by its interaction with the mind and the surrounding environment.
Through practical and experiential exploration, she examined how bodily sensations, perceptions and external influences interact, and how these processes shape our experience of ourselves and the world around us.
The research established a foundation for her ongoing artistic interest in interconnected systems, reciprocal influence and the relationship between the individual and the wider environment.
