Henel’s works show various themes, but none of them are classic. Instead, they present rape, violence, nude women, ejaculation, menstruation, urination, and defecation. They are also filled with Bosch-like creatures, witches, frogs, insects, and cats; faces with grimaces; fantastic landscapes; and everything we expect from a top-notch nightmare. They are done with amazing quality and a stunning sense of composition and color. And they were created in a mental hospital.
