About The Artist

My name as Artist is : Helge van der Este I was born in 1938 in Hamburg /Germany After a childhood during World War II and the hard postwartime I had a nice youth in the prosperiting Germany My first skulpture I found in the forest in the USA in 1963. A small piece of wood formed by nature. After a life as teacher ,when I retired I started my career as artist .-I like playing with material like wood steel and stone. My art is finding something special and to dig out a form . like Michelangelo said already : The statue is already in the marble .we only have to dig it out ! Using my phantasie ,my imagination and inspiration. Therefore my motto is : Seen--Collected --Worked-out I had a lot of exhibitions here in northern Germany and I am member of Sculpture Network Ausstellungen (Exhibitions) 2008 Orangerie Glücksburg gemeinsam mit: Hannah Hütten Sabine Helgeson Karen Ringeling 2009+ Jork - Museum Altes Land gemeinsam mit: Hannah Hütten 2010 2011 Galerie an der B 73 gemeinsam mit: Hannah Hütten Wolf Reinke 2012 Jork – Museum Altes Land gemeinsam mit: Harald Schulz Hannah Hütten 2013 Kunstpunkt Stade gemeinsam mit: Harald Schulz Siegfried Volkmann 2014 Villa Issendorf (Himmelpforten) gemeinsam mit: Roswitha Precht Hannah Hütten Siegfried Volkmann 2015 Mühle Malstedt Kunstwerkstatt Tina Abich 2016 Gemeinschaftsausstellungen Siegfried Krön 2017 Gerd Rehpenning 2018 Peter Glaßmeyer Roswitha Precht Ralf Schiefbahn
