ABOUT LODESTONE
Each piece by Lena Silva to its own right, is extremely real yet as much insincere, perhaps a hypostasis. Through a vibrant pallet of colours, Lena aims to elevate feminine figure in the hope of conveying affirmations of an internal feeling of beauty, self-love, strengthen and rebirth. A lover of poetry and often finding it comforting to describe the emotive side of her work through poetic words. Through her artwork she often gets a sense of belonging, an escape from the acrimony of daily life and chaos of society. Lena has an interest in human behaviours and coping mechanisms as a direct consequence of culture and society enforced expectations. Her work is also an expression of her wondering of human’s survival, persistence, and perpetuity of life – a fascination with life and its meaning, its consanguinity relating directly to the beauty of the experience.
