Statement and CV

Lena Zak, born in 1994, is a mixed-media artist primarily working in painting, who also explores installation art. Her practice focuses on the interplay of opposing elements, illustrating the connection between conflicting forces that influence our world and her personal experiences — harmony emerging from chaos, complexity arising within simplicity, and the tangible manifestations of formless ideas. This duality is also reflected in restrained color palette and compositions delving into the notions of presence versus absence. In her creative process, Lena explores acoustic and visual relationships, allowing sound to shape the landscapes of her abstract paintings, resulting in a visual style with calligraphy-like qualities. Zak's artwork has been exhibited in group shows in European capitals, including London, Berlin, Lisbon, Athens, and Bratislava, as well as in New York, United States. Her paintings are part of private collections mainly in Prague, Paris, Bratislava and the United States. She has completed an art residency program in Lisbon, Portugal and a long-term residency in Berlin, Germany. Lena Zak currently lives and works between Prague, Czech Republic and Berlin, Germany.
