Lena Krashevka was born in Minsk, Belarus, and has lived and worked in Cologne since 2015.
Lena Krashevka is an artist who uses her work to explore psychological transformations, capturing human emotions and the psycho-emotional state on canvas. Her art combines classical and modern techniques, emphasizing emotional depth, mood, and freedom. She reflects on life's contradictions, using her paintings to navigate and connect with complex human experiences.
The human being with all feelings and emotions is the focus of Lena Krashevka’s work: to capture a psycho-emotional state and transfer it onto the canvas.
Throughout the day, Lena Krashevka reflects on life's complexities. Reflection, a concept familiar to most, goes beyond merely depicting people and their surroundings. Our inner world houses diverse experiences, often appearing as “cinematic images” in our minds. While she desires to share these scenarios with others, reality often feels isolating.
People navigate contradictory emotions like pain and joy, and life presents unexpected challenges such as loss and betrayal. These challenges, much like spots on her portraits, catch one unprepared. How people assess their emotions depends on their perspective as observers. Some may resist reality or find beauty within its imperfections, seeking unity with the world. Lena Krashevka's art blends classical and modern techniques to harmonize visual images with emotional impressions, using her canvas to express and understand her place in the world.
Studio visits in Cologne are possible by appointment. Lena is also happy to talk about commissions.
