Helder Batista is a self-taught Artist who works both sculpture and painting. He was born in 1964 in Paris where he took evening classes at the Beaux-arts. He lives and works in the Southwest of France.  Multidisciplinary, he apprehends different materials and different supports such as resin, inclusion, concrete, wood, neon, oil, and acrylic painting. He sculpts and paints everything that concerns him.  His artistic work is often ambiguous and symbolic, he assures that, “Art is a freedom of expression of which only the Artist limits the borders.”  To this day always concerned by painting, that allows him to relax in its simplicity. His paintings are based on abstract impressionism. He tries to represent things as simply as possible without any frills or excess so that people can project their own ideas and own vision through his work.
