From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Helen Berman (April 6, 1936) is a Dutch-Israeli visual artist with an artistic style that varies between realistic impressionism and lyrical abstract expressionism. She has exhibited in Israel, Germany and the Netherlands.

Helen Berman was born in Amsterdam and as a young girl survived the Holocaust. She was trained as a textile designer at the Eindhoven Academy of Industrial Design. While at the academy, she took extra-curricular coursework in the free arts. After her graduation in 1960, Helen Berman designed textiles for several factories. Some of her designs were awarded prizes and publications in professional magazines.

During the seventies, Berman studied painting and drawing with Thierry Veltman. In 1978, she immigrated to Israel, where she continued to refine her style. During a decade-long residence in Jaffa, she became part of the local artists' community and a member of the Israel Painters and Sculptors Association (IPSA). Since 1998, she has been painting and exhibiting from her studio in Tel Mond.
