Heleen Blanken is an Amsterdam-based artist working at the intersection of installation art, new media, cinematography, scenography, and sculpture. She holds a degree in Fine Arts from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy.

Her artistic practice, influenced by the intricate relationship between humanity and the natural environment, delves into the various layers of our perception of nature. Through themes like organic vs. artificial and analog vs. digital, Heleen creates layered pieces that challenge how we perceive and engage with nature and present potential futuristic narratives.

Her work has been featured in international exhibitions at institutions such as Stedelijk Museum Schiedam, Gropius Bau Berlin, Nxt Museum, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Kunstkerk Dordrecht, Floriade World Expo 2022, Gallery Ron Mandos, Musée d’Art Contemporain, and Ars Electronica. She has also undertaken collaborations with scientific and research bodies, including Naturalis Leiden, Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, and the Institute for Geosciences Utrecht.
