Olivia

Olivia - Bold, beautiful, loud and outspoken yet she has a gentle, softer and relaxed side to her. She is my alter ego. How many of us feel like we can't show our other side??? Sometimes we just have to let this side out and shine a little. I always have to remind myself, embrace what makes me feel good inside. I think 2022, will be my year of putting myself first and saying no to anything that doesn't serve me.

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.
