About Lena Smirnova

 
 
  • Biography

    I paint therefore I am. 

    I believe that art should be provocative in some ways. Art is to arouse a thought, an urge, a reaction, a standing. Things are not what they seem they are - this is a major motto in my works. I strive to paint realistic still lives, but not in the classic sense. My pictures might be artificially composed although not being surrealistic. Just some objects whose mutual relation and composition incites some drama or tension. 

    I take my art seriously but I do not take myself seriously in art. When an onlooker smiles looking at one of my large canvasses or at a small caricature on paper, then I know that the goal is achieved: Yes - one more smile in the world! 

    I am represented by two art galleries in Denmark, and usually exhibit  at annual art festivals 2-3 times a year.
