About Helena Skerlj-Rovers

Helena Skerlj-Rovers is a multidisciplinary artist based in Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland. Her practice explores colour and gesture, extending from painting into textiles and soft materials.

A graduate of Elam School of Fine Arts, Skerlj-Rovers completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts with Honours in 2021. Colour and gesture have remained central to her work as she has expanded her practice across different materials.

Her tufted rugs bring a lifelong love of craft and handwork into her art. Through this textile practice, she connects her interest in painting with the tactile possibilities of soft materials.
