Original oil paintings, straight from the studio of Cologne painter Lena Krashevka.
Lena has lived and painted in Cologne since 2015. Her contemporary realist paintings, faces behind rain on glass, bubble wrap and blur, are shown at Discovery Art Fair Cologne, at Galerie Seidel and, in 2026, at DIE GROSSE in Museum Kunstpalast. If you live in or near Cologne, you can see the paintings in her studio, talk to her directly and take your painting home.
A photo on a screen cannot show what makes a painting: the depth of a painted raindrop, the texture of the brushwork, how the colours change between morning and evening light. In the studio you see the works side by side, at their real size.
Ask how a painting was made, what it is about, or whether a size works for your wall. Lena answers herself, and she also paints portraits and works on commission.
The newest available works. All of them can be seen in the studio by appointment.
Can I see a painting before I buy it?
Yes. Studio visits are by appointment. Tell Lena which works you are interested in and she will have them ready.
Where is the studio?
Erlenweg 41, 50827 Köln, in Bickendorf (Ehrenfeld district). Visits by appointment only.
Can I take the painting home the same day?
Yes, you can pick it up yourself. Outside Cologne, paintings travel by insured shipping.
Are there smaller works or gifts?
Yes: small originals, gift vouchers and ideas in the gift guide.
Which size fits my wall?
Send Lena a photo of the wall with its width. The size guide has simple rules for sofas, beds and empty walls.
Can Lena paint a portrait from my photo?
Yes, from €2,100 for 30×40 cm. See what a painted portrait costs.
Write or call with the works you would like to see and a few possible dates. Lena replies personally.
