BO TASLE D'HELIAND

Bo Tasle d'Heliand

I am a Parisian born French artist with a multimedia background. My educational credentials include art studies (Ecole Nationale des Arts Decoratifs) and a master in Communication and Intellectual Property from the University of Paris, Sorbonne, France.

Through the years, I have collaborated with National Operas and dance companies as a set and costume designer. Recent years have focused my attention to painting with sculpting and video installations to complement select painting series.

I have exhibited in galleries in Paris, Helsinki, and UAE and been presented in various Art Shows (Art Abu Dhabi, Art Dubai, Cairo Biennale, Los Angeles Art Fair). After living in Scandinavia, Asia, Africa and the Middle-East, I now reside in Los Angeles. My work is supported by the Farjam Foundation and private collectors.
