Romanian Artist Illustrates Women in the Most Wonderful Way

Lena is a Romanian graphic designer and illustrator who has been finding comfort in art since she was a little girl. For her, it was a way to process life and learn how to cope. When you take a look at her Instagram account you’ll notice some kind of style.

Her images are all “warm and nocturnal, centered around stylized women who exudes wisdom, sensuality, and wildness”. Her paintings are done digital and while depicting portraits of women, Lena uses only a few colors: brown, ocher, and yellow. She is not a fan of much detail and keeps her shapes clean.

When asked in an interview for Ballpit, what she wants to achieve with her art she said.

“I hope it will serve as a reminder for people to be free, to embody their truth, and let themselves feel. Also, I hope it may inspire them to dig deeper in their psyche, to get curious about all the different characters living there and realize they are never alone,” she explained.
