About the Artist

Helena Chastel was born and raised in Belgium, obtaining a master’s degree in mathematics before moving to New York. Chastel began taking drawing classes at the Art Students’ League of New York, which led to figurative sculptures in terracotta and bronze, and mastering the art of welding. The artist is intrigued by the connection between the natural world and Plato’s and Archimedes’ studies of mathematics. She works with aluminum, patinated copper, and steel and uses various techniques to transfer pigment onto metal. The artist has exhibited nationally and internationally at the Tokyo International Art Fair, Art Expo NY, Abu Dhabi Art Fair, and Leila Heller Gallery, NY among other venues. helenachastel.com
