"After the murals I painted of Alice and Hugo there two years ago were demolished, the team kindly invited me back and I thought it was only right to bring back Ally and Hugo, with their new addition, Ruby-Rae!
This painting is a tribute to them, their endless kindness, a homage to gentle power and taking up space with softness and femininity.
Also it’s #nationalbreastfeedingweek All power to mumma milks #freethenipple !
Massive thanks to @b_for_botanical and @hugo.fer.artwork for their trust and openness ♥️" @abcdefghelen August 7, 2021⠀

"The title comes from a beautiful song by @katetempest, be sure to listen." @abcdefghelen Sept 24, 2019

'Until last year, the stories that Helen was painting on walls all around the world were inspired by her interest in other people’s lives. Through making art, she was learning things she had no experience with before, breaking down the world around her, and understanding it a bit more with each brush stroke.

Helen Bur: “Then I gradually realized that the only way I was receiving all that information was through newspapers, and there is only so much truth you can get from journalistic representations of situations. So I turned it around and started to look inwards. In the last months I painted from personal experiences, which made me reconnect with my work. Now I examine my life first, then what’s around me or what I can have a first time real experience of – and finally I paint about it”'
