Marble Universe

Marbel Universe - This piece is inspired by the Milky Way galaxy and it feels so dreamy to me. All the colours blended together even make me think of an aurora. The feeling of being in awe of something that is bigger than just ourselves… Lately I have been putting a lot of faith out into the universe and trying to trust in my path. I have just really love and enjoyed giving myself the permission to explore this style and expression.

Lena Baumgartner is self-taught and creates large scale abstract expressive works. Looking at Lena's works and you feel everything first - bold colours, soft gesture and the pulse of emotion. She creates thick, texturally brush strokes that you want to reach out and touch. She often pairs striking and contrasting colours together to provoke emotional responses when viewing her artwork from afar. Her practice is mood-led with restless days drawing in the greens and blues while frenetic days are filled with vibrant pinks or even muted neutrals. Sometimes the compositions are clean, other times they're messy and alive. She has actively participated in both solo and group exhibitions, showcasing her talent and unique way of mixing and blending colours on canvas. You can also see her artwork on the South Australian Renmark Gin brand - 23rd Street, Mulberry Gin bottle.
