Helena Tahir (*1992 in Jesenice, Slovenia) belongs to a generation of artists who expand classical printmaking into a distinctly contemporary language. Working across drawing, print, and installation, her practice combines personal memory and political history into complex visual narratives.

Central to her work is an intense, almost physical dedication to the process: for her large-scale linocuts, she first draws directly onto linoleum, then meticulously carves it and prints by hand, often using only a spoon. What begins as a technical constraint becomes a defining element of her practice.
