Helga Christoph: Capturing Life’s Small Moments
Imbued with storybook-like imagery, Helga Christoph’s paintings feature an evocative technique and use of color, pulling inspiration from the small moments in life.
"I am a figurative artist, working in traditional oil and acrylic on canvas from my cottage studio in Redwood City, CA. I paint small moments, figures, and faces. When my brush hits the canvas, time evaporates, and I don’t stop until all the paint is gone. There is nothing else I would rather do."
— Helga Christoph
Through her sometimes simple paintings, Helga conveys deep care, hoping to engage the innate sense of wonder in her viewers. Her work, created in the intimate setting of her Redwood City cottage studio, reflects a passion for capturing the beauty in everyday figures and faces.
