Hellen van Meene usually takes pictures of people she knows, girlfriends or girls from her surroundings, children and young women with the (un) complimentary traits of puberty, with its distinctive mixture of angularity and grace, awkwardness and sensuality, vulnerability and pride, loneliness and desire. She makes us think vaguely of Botticelli, of Pre-Raphaelite paintings, and sometimes even of imagery inspired by the medieval legends of King Arthur. Her interesting models are not idealized madonnas or goddesses, but strapping young ladies from North Holland of a somewhat rural beauty. (Publisher's description)
