Bio

Lena Zak is a Slovakia-born interdisciplinary artist based in-between Bratislava (SVK) and Prague (CZ), who mobilizes Abstract Expressionist-inspired strategies to create bold works in painting, writing, and their combination, as well as objects, that she refers to as “intense representations of emotion”. Spontaneity and raw feeling are key to her process, which is about navigating through emotions in an effort to find balance and personal freedom in the most authentic way possible. 

​

Zak's artwork was exhibited across the capitals of Europe like London, Lisbon, Athens, Prague, and Bratislava. Since the year 2020, her paintings are being listed on the world's most renowned art and design marketplaces like Artsy, 1stDibs, The Artling, and more. Lena's artwork is part of private collections mainly in Europe, however, could be found in the hands of collectors in New York and Los Angeles too.  ​
