Lena Snow is an award winning fine artist based in Germany who currently has her studio in a small town on the edge of the Black Forest where she is working on her latest artworks while keeping in touch with nature. The artist is specialized in female portraiture with her main medium being paper. She earned a master’s degree at the University of Mannheim and Karlsruhe.
Lena explores various aspects of femininity and female identity in her paintings. Her inspiration are personal stories of women she encountered, but also female characters in mythology, film, and literature. They are a new, powerful, and emancipated approach of one’s identity and sexuality, and at the same time they stand for empowerment for all women. For a long time, only men have painted women, neglecting their personal stories of ambivalence, trauma, and multifaceted nature, but it is time that women change the narrative and capture their unique stories by contributing to a new, empowered expression of elevated femininity.
