Lena was born in Poland in 1989. She lived many years in Wrocław, where also finished her Master in graphics. Recently moved to Berlin. "My biggest love and passion is drawing. I work with sketches, murals, exhibitions and installations although what represents my art the strongest is my work with improvised, live drawing. Most of the time I use the old fashioned overhead projector, but I have also worked with drawing with water, chalk, huge canvas, paper, body of the dancers, walls, floor, self made installations... I improvise solo but I am as well fascinated by cooperating with experimental music, dance and creating the big multidisciplinary ensembles performances."
