LUMINESCENT PAINTINGS BY HELENA KOHOUTOVÁ

VIDEO INSPIRATION HERE

I was inspired to create light objects by Albert Einstein and his vision that one day frequencies would be used for healing. I personally believe that every work of art emits a certain frequency that can have a subtle effect on people.

Art takes many forms. It usually begins with a beautiful form, such as a sculpture, painting, relief, or some successful architectural intervention. However, art has other dimensions besides its physical form, namely a subtle energy, something in the background that makes art accessible to a wider population. People can also perceive a work of art through an unconventional personal experience, or it can become a harmonious addition to your home or work environment. Art can literally light up different corners of your home. Whenever I embarked on renovating a house or garden, I always focused on the most neglected corners first. When you tackle the most difficult things, something truly beautiful and extraordinary emerges. And that is also the principle of our exhibition. Light objects can illuminate places you would not expect. It also works if you want to immerse yourself in your inner self. Just turn off the lights in your entire apartment and let the light image emit gentle vibrations of color. My clients compare it to looking into a fire and not being able to look away. The feelings people experience when looking at these luminescent images are incredibly intense, and that warms my heart. That was my unspoken intention, my great desire, as I worked on this idea. At the same time, there is much more in the background. I am very pleased that people like it and also appreciate our other products in the same design, which complement and enhance the overall impression. The Eternal by Helena collection includes not only stylish tableware, notebooks, and beautiful mugs, but also a collection of teas. Everything blends naturally into everyday life and brings people joy.

About Helena

A Czech entrepreneur for whom the need to follow her own path has been key throughout her life. Originally an opera singer, she now runs her own business. She hung up her artistic career more than a quarter of a century ago and has since been connecting, appreciating, supporting, and reaching out to other independent “souls,” i.e., entrepreneurs, but also corporations and institutions. Since the 1990s, she has been implementing her ideas, visions, and goals in projects that she founded and brought together in the Helas Business Platform, which includes the Czech Businesswomen Awards, the Czech Leaders Awards, the Czech Exporters Awards, the Helas New Encounters Club, and the Cosmopolitan Executive Helas Ladies Club. The common motto of these projects is the slogan “We are building a proud Czech Republic.” It is the only company of Agentura Helas s. r. o. that “technically” implements these projects. In twenty-five years, it has reached over 330,000 owners and top managers of Czech and foreign companies and has awarded over 460 companies in the above-mentioned competitions. It is also the founder of the digital online Helas Business e-platform. It has organized at least 3,000 social and professional events, most of which it produced itself. She deeply believes that energy, ideas, visions, and the unseen fundamentally influence “physical” results in “matter,” i.e., in real life and tangible activities.

In 2024, it was invited to renovate the unique premises of the Minorite Monastery of St. James in Prague, where a center for culture, social events, education, and business is being created.

The friary, founded in 1232 by Wenceslas I, had been closed to the public until now, except for educational and musical activities. Nevertheless, history has passed through here. In essence, the Přemyslid dynasty ended here after 400 years and the Luxembourgs took over for 100 years. This history and the work of many people across generations and centuries is part of the legacy of the Building a Proud Czech Republic program, which de facto shows what Czechs can ultimately achieve despite all obstacles. Helena Kohoutová places great emphasis on preserving the genius loci, highlighting the history of the spaces and making them accessible to the general public, which is practically a first in their nearly 800-year history. It is a legacy that constantly influences us. We are part of this cycle, and we too are now leaving a legacy for the near and distant future.

Her experience gained over almost a quarter of a century, observing human and business stories, inspired, among other things, the creation of the book trilogy SVOU VLASTNÍ CESTOU (Your Own Way). It is based on a desire to show people at a crossroads, including those at the very beginning, how to work, strive, and be able to step outside their comfort zone. For her, moving forward and finding new paths is of profound importance.   In order to support these Czech companies even more effectively and raise the profile of their activities, the magazine HORIZONT POINT was created, which also showcases the know-how of the expert team at the Helas Business Platform.

In her mature years, she began to return to her roots, namely creative work, especially abstract painting, and she also created the concept of light paintings called LUMIA FREKVENCY ART. Her interest in art has accompanied her since childhood. Her creativity is evident in her original wood carvings, not only in opera and chamber singing, but also in her playing of five musical instruments. Support for work activities, human perception, understanding of women, and the need for mutual harmony led Helena to found her own brand, “ETERNAL BY HELENA,” which is all about harmony, fulfillment, abundance, joy, and a holistic approach to health.

The brand includes its own collection of jewelry, oil perfume, original paintings, products inspired by the club's mandala, and last but not least, an exceptional project – the “ETERNAL FLOWER COFFEE & SYRUP COLLECTION” of healthy coffees and natural syrups, a unique blend of carefully selected premium active ingredients of plant origin, whose effectiveness on human health has been scientifically proven, the premium “ETERNAL HOLISTIC CARE – Healthy & Beauty Drink,” and a specially curated portfolio of products from the HORTUS ANGELICUS COLLECTION, inspired by the rich history of the Minorite Monastery of St. James and the herb garden of Charles IV.

The motto of the ETERNAL BY HELENA brand is “Eternal Abundance,” which closely touches on the needs of each and every one of us.
