Hello. I’m Lena Hintz, an artist with an unusual view of life. If you ask me why it is like this, I’ll respond. The life itself took my hand, led me here and indicated my place. It was a long and difficult path for me to look for the answers on my questions and for my destiny. Being a person with a strong creative initiative, I suppressed my desire to draw thinking that it would never bring any profit to me and to people around me. However, my life went in such a way that all my worries and troubles found their reflection in my unusual paintings. I have been painting from childhood. My parents noticed my passion to art and supported me. That’s how I graduated from the Art and Restoration professional school in Saint Petersburg and became a fine art restorer. In my youth I had a happy opportunity to work in Hermitage with some paintings of famous maestros of the past. My heartbeat stopped when I touched these paintings. Even then I understood that art was one of the greatest powers that had influence on people’s souls. But my mind led me to the jungle of more grounded pursuits. In 2008 I moved to Frankfurt and got a degree in economics. The profession of economist was boring for me, I wanted something more impressive. So, I continued my identity findings and graduated as a doctor, then my knowledge box enlarged with pedagogics. It was a bit more pleasant for me to work with people, but my secret passion was still painting. I felt it especially each last months of another education, when it seemed to me that it was about to end and I would have the possibility to paint again. Through years I reached the cognitive decision to make art and to put any other activity off. This happened when I found myself painting another piece of art and I was so deeply absorbed by this process that at a certain moment of time I felt an indissociable connection with the world. It was silence in my head, it was a complete integration with my inner nature and with everything that was around me. Now I can say confidently that it is my conscious choice to become an artist. My paintings find awake an echo in people’s hearts. My whole world is in them. A strange, mysterious one and only for a select audience… What is my art about? My paintings are an evocation of my entire inner world and my vision of surroundings, a combination of incongruous things.
