Helena Gullström
"The generous physical layers of paint and combined materials in Helena Gullström’s art creates a dreamlike imaginary world. The essence is both romantic and soulful. The work has the flavour of magic and miracles."
– Franklyn Liegel
Get to know Helena Gullström
Helena Gullström is a Swedish-born artist who relocated to Los Angeles, California, when she was 20 years old. She recently moved back to Sweden in the fall of 2020 after having spent 26 years in Los Angeles.
After settling in Los Angeles, she studied with the well-known Los Angeles artist and revered art professor Franklyn Liegel at Otis College of Art and Design, and he became a dear friend and guiding mentor.
Helena creates abstract figurative paintings as well as sculptures, using materials including oil, acrylic, concrete, and metal. She has exhibited in the USA, Sweden, India, and Italy and has collectors worldwide.
"Gullström pulls the alienated spectrum of human feelings from the world around her into sometimes almost genderless, fluid depictions of emotion masquerading as human form on a thematic canvas that one can only perceive as ones own unconscious psyche.
She seems to dip paintbrush and fingers into the very archetypal, unconscious energies and needs we all share for organic wholeness."

Our Story
Tomas and Mimmi Hammar
Gallery Hammar was founded in 2023 by the artist couple Tomas and Mimmi Hammar, who had long shared a dream of owning their own gallery where they could exhibit their art together.
The idea of establishing an art gallery in Vasastan was born as early as 2017 when Tomas was at the beginning of his artistic journey. After the impact of the pandemic, the goal became even clearer. In May 2023, Gallery Hammar opened its doors at Rörstrandsgatan 28 and currently represents around 20 artists and sculptors.
At Gallery Hammar, we offer a wide variety of Scandinavian art from both established artists and new talents whose works touch, challenge, and inspire. Our vision is to promote an innovative, inclusive, unconventional, and accessible space for both artists and customers. We constantly strive to provide a unique, modern, and relaxed environment where exciting encounters, interesting conversations, and lasting relationships contribute to a sense of community for all visitors.
Before embarking on their artistic careers, Tomas and Mimmi pursued different paths—Tomas dedicated over 20 years to photography and TV production, while Mimmi worked in HR for almost 10 years. Their diverse backgrounds have been of great benefit in the joint professional journey they have undertaken, often reflected in their roles as both artists and gallery owners.
