Velvet Sky

If I could give you the whole sky I would.. There’s something quietly romantic about this piece — like that warm, lingering moment just before the sun disappears. The colours feel soft and full of emotion, like a memory you can’t quite place but don’t want to let go of. It’s layered with gentle chaos and calm, like love itself — beautiful, a little messy, and full of feeling.

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.
