Lena grew up in the Soviet Union/Russia and went to drawing school after her normal school day ended and it was there she made first friends and learned basic drawing rules. Lena also spent a lot of childhood with her grandmother, who introduced her to the world of art and was and still is her biggest inspiration.
Lena grew up and got a degree in architecture, which has helped her understand perspective and geometry, especially when drawing street views or city objects - both favourite subjects of hers.
Over the years, Lena has experimented with many different drawing materials, doing quick pen sketches on holidays and in her spare time. During pandemics she discovered watercolour. Very soon it became her favourite drawing material.
Lena is specialising in urban landscapes and focuses on the play on light, shadows and emotions of the city in my paintings. Lena transforms the art to visual storytelling, making the bridge between Contemporary Art and Illustration.
