Colorado, Highlands Ranch. My name is Lena Owens. I was born in the Moscow Region of Russia. At an early age my family moved to the south of Russia along the Black Sea where it was much warmer and a very beautiful environment.
Art is in my blood. My father was a talented artist, painting still life and nature. I had an interest in art from an early age. While a young adult, I studied painting and drawing through correspondence with the Moscow University for three years. However, marriage and family were soon to take much to my attention for many years.
After arriving in Colorado in 2002, I was given a Dremel for a birthday present. My love for art was rekindled and soon I was creating wooden sculptures and intarsia. This was followed with my return to painting. I now enjoy working in many art forms.
My desire to reproduce Russian icons, Greek and Italian frescos led me to creating an antique look to my paintings: classic fresco-secco technique. I use lime and gypsum rock compound to create my canvas. For outdoor art I use dried pigments or acrylics to apply on dried or wet plaster. For indoor art I use mixed media and oil. I sand, stain and break my fresco to achieve antique look. After all steps my paintings are ready to hang and need no frame. The weighs approximately from 5 to 30 pounds.
