About Artist

Helynn Ospina

Helynn Ospina, a photographer, artist, and storyteller based in the San Francisco Bay Area, captures the magic in fleeting, in-between moments. Her work showcases the play of light and shadow, the textures of everyday life, and the subtle movements of the world around us. Each image is a snapshot of the magical interplay between past echoes and future possibilities. Helynn’s story is anything but ordinary. Born in Colombia and raised in the U.S., her early years as an undocumented immigrant gave her a unique lens on life. Navigating between two cultures, she learned to find beauty in the in-between—a perspective that fuels her creative process. Her unconventional journey led her from serving in the U.S. Marines to diving into the world of biotech research. This love for challenge and discovery naturally extended to photography, transforming a childhood hobby into a profound artistic pursuit.
