About Lena
My passion for art truly came alive in the late 1980s during a visit to the Tate Gallery in London. Mark Rothko's monumental abstract paintings transported me to another dimension. Inspired by this experience, I pursued art studies and have since worked in studios in places like Filmstaden and Gustavsberg's porcelain factory.
My writing took off after attending a literature course at Stockholm University. Since 2022, I've been based at Telefonplan Studios in Konstfack's premises, where I divide my time between painting and writing.
