Anyone who thinks Helmantel wants to return to the past does not understand him. Nor does the meaning of his work lie in wanting to be 'of our time'. What Helmantel seeks is something timeless, and without pretension at that, according to Willem L. Meijer. Precisely the statement that suits the still life with peaches and glass. The fruit of today is immortalized in a tranquil setting. The soft realism in the peaches is beautifully rendered. The Chinese bowl ….. combined with carefully selected antique glass.
