Hello! I am Hele – the artist, writer and mentor standing behind the artist name Hele Flora. The brand Hele Flora holds the goal of inspiring and bringing awareness by using flower art and power words.
My admiration for the plant world is as old as me. Grown up as a daughter of a gardener gave me the space and time needed to develop a profound bond with the botanical world. Already as a child, I was deeply fascinated by plants and by the time I went to school I knew most of the ones common to the area where I grew up. Ever since I have learned a lot from my friendship with the plant world.
Another of my fascinations from an early age is the power of word – the difference in frequency and life force residing in words. This is what inspired me to write. As a writer, I have always had one rule – “you never create or plan a book, because all books that wish to be written by you, will come to you and will guide you through, when the time is right”.
In the beginning of 2014 and ten children books later, I completed my first inspirational book – The Rainbow Book. By taking the step and writing The Rainbow Book, I consciously accepted the invitation made by the plant world which called me to use flowers as a medium for art. This is how flower mandala became my language and I started my journey as an artist.
From a very early age on, I have been keen on observing people and I have always been curious about so many things that all summed up can be defined as human psychology. More specifically, I have always desired to understand the relationship between our brain and the life force - the energy that is flowing within and around us. Me becoming a mentor was never part of my plan. It seems though, as it was something that was planned for me. The mentor I am today has grown through several decades by learning to love, reprogram, restructure and to listen to myself. The knowledge I have used to help myself and others is gathered through decades of meditation and mindfulness practice and through studying human anatomy, physiotherapy, psychology and neuroscience to name a few. All that with the goal to create more wholeness and harmony both for me and for you.
I am glad you stopped by and hope to hear from you if you feel inspired to get in touch.

My art tells its stories through the medium of mandala.
Mandala is a sacred art form that is believed to originate from India, born in the first century BCE. However, there are variations of it known from different cultures and regions all over the world. The word "mandala“ stems from Sanskrit and means "circle“, but it is no ordinary circle. Mandalas are also seen as power talismans or powerhouses which help you to remember your goals and stay on your path. The order, harmony and wholeness that are the essence of a mandala turn it into a mesmerizing form of art that guides one to peace, presence and awareness.
In my mandala art, my biggest passions – human psychology and botany are intertwined. Mandalas have their own magical way to speak directly to the heart and soul of its viewer. The harmony mandala stands for has an ability to create peace and order in the energy fields of people and living spaces which it comes in contact with. Everything is energy, a frequency. Just like you recognize "your people“ when they cross your path, you also recognize the mandala that "speaks your language“. Most likely, it has something to tell you. This might be the start of a special friendship that fills you with inspiration and a good dose of zen.
