Born in Pau, France, Hélène Crécent studied at the Fine Arts High School in Bordeaux and has worked in the audio-visual field. After moving to Valencia, Spain, in 1999, she founded the 'Mini-Monstre' artistic duo with Bertrand Mazurier, dedicated to the creation of artistic objects from everyday life. Crécent continued to create her own artwork, unveiling her personal universe - disturbing, rebellious, aggressive, and full of irony. With her quest for truth in the representation and the sincerity applied to her art, she appears far removed from any influence. Her work springs from daily life and the flow of her real feelings.
In response to Warhol's prophecy "all is pretty," Crécent carries out a spontaneous speech regarding beauty. She believes that if a woman is beautiful, then all her attributes are equally as beautiful. She deconstructs feminine beauty with the use illustration, calligraphy, and the use of color in its pure state.
