In this series I do not only aim to show their natural and wild origin, but also depict them as a fascinating changelings. Transformation in nature is a means of survival, and certainly has been a metaphor for their ability to powerfully navigate the world. A goddess isn't just any one person, it is everyone. The collective unconscious is the element of human beings that we all share. Myth is important, because it comes from the collective unconscious and can be expressed or translated in many ways.

Archaic Goddesses

With my Goddess Series I want to show strong, empowered, transformed female figures. Those figures have undergone a process of emancipation and are now standing on their own - self reliant. Also, I implement upcycled materials in each of the artworks to underline the process of emancipation. My message is to take something that is already there or has been given to us - sometimes even by nature - and transform it into something new.

Goddesses Upcycled

This series is deeply influenced by the notion of solitude and self-reliance by Emerson and Thoreau. Solitude is an important state and as Thoreau descirbes it, solitude is not loneliness or isolation, but rather self-communion and introspection. It has little to do with the physical proximity of others, since he says that a man can be lonely when surrounded by others if he does not feel real companionship with them. The search for truth should always start with contemplation of the individual self and nature. Therefore, my female figures are not lonely, but in solitude - sometimes undergoing transformations, sometimes being closer to themselves.

Women in Solitude

My Indigenous Goddess series has been inspired by indigenous art all over the world  and shows female entities that are both mythical and energetic. Those females are neither good nor bad, but represent ambivalence and power. My Goddesses are strongly connected to Nature and show something wild, original and untamed.

This series is inspiried by the fashion and flair of movies and old Hollywood.

Female Classics Series  ​

The series in general deals with female identity and intends to capture several emotions and character traits. The females I depict show a certain moment in time – compared to a moment captured on camera. The artworks represent the state of mind, attitude, wish or even perception of oneself rather than an accurate illustration of reality. Some artworks are influenced by the atmosphere of famous movies or tv series and convey the impact and lasting impression of strong female characters.

Mistress Series

Lena's "planetary series" shows alien women in an expressive and colorful style. Each artwork is devoted to a certain planet or simply takes place in a foreign environment. The women in those paintings sometimes simply say from where they are, thereby acknowledging that they are different. Sometimes an ordinary scene just is taking place in a different environment aiming to show an alternate, familiar-unfamiliar reality. Although this series has been deeply inspired by the possibility of alien life and by Lena's fascination with space, its deeper meaning is to address the topic of otherness and female identity.

Planetary Series

The Orion Girls series is inspired by and devoted to the Orion constellation and its stars. Orion has been known since ancient times and is as mythical and magical as it is fascinating. My alien girls are representations of something transcendental, yet untouchable.

In this series Nature is the focus where I want to show my Nymphs in their natural, yet magical surrounding. I want the viewer to dive into the power of color and expression, and at the same time remind ourselves that all this richness, mystery and freedom is in nature.

Nymph Series

The Oumuamua Girls Series is inspired by the so-called "Oumuamua" object, the first known interstellar object to visit our solar system. It appears to be a rocky, cigar-shaped object with a somewhat reddish hue. For this reason, Lena’s "alien" girls all have red skin. The object was named "Oumuamua" by its discoverers in Hawaii (meaning the very, very first messenger). Since Lena is a huge space lover and her imagination goes beyond everything, she likes to think about alien life forms, especially women - strong, enigmatic, fascinating, and vibrant. This series is devoted to outer space and is a depiction of her visions of the sublime and untouchable beauty.
