Lena Verita
So who am I,
From a young age, painting has been my gateway to imaginative worlds—realms where the delicate, the monstrous, and the impossible coexist. I am largely self-taught, yet have worked with a dedicated mentor for over fifteen years. My practice centres around creating visual narratives that invite reflection and offer escape from the ordinary.
My work explores the tension between beauty and the uncanny. Whether through dreamlike landscapes or mythic beings, I aim to reconnect viewers with a sense of wonder—while also prompting deeper contemplation of existence. These works are not just representations, but invitations to pause, reflect, and enter a liminal space where logic loosens and intuition leads.
Each painting begins with a strong technical foundation, yet much of the imagery arises intuitively. My process blends structured craft with subconscious storytelling. Colour, form, and texture work together to create worlds that feel both familiar and otherworldly.
At its core, my art is about transformation—of perception, of inner landscapes, of the way we relate to beauty, fear, and the unknown. I create to bring peace, to build new realms, and to connect with something timeless.
