Artist Statement

After building a successful career in the aerospace industry, Lena Ash took a transformative leap to pursue her singular, true passion: becoming an Artist. In her artistic practice, she plays with scales, explores diverse forms, and constantly pushes boundaries. She doesn't just create, she challenges. She doesn't just depict, she questions.

Believing in the healing power of collective reflection, Lena perceives art as a social engagement act. Through a feminist prism, her works challenge and confront prevailing interpretations, boldly critiquing the patriarchal structures that have long shadowed society. Every piece she crafts stands as a rebuke to an age-old patriarchal system that has marginalised women for centuries. But it's not just the message, it's the medium.

Rooted deeply in the principles of conceptualism, each choice she makes—be it material, technique, or form—intentionally bolsters the thematic essence of the work. Dancing between experimentation and precision, between form and content, shapes her art, making every piece an assertion, a statement, and a testament to resilience, critique, and hope.

In 2020, Lena Ash founded 2chairs artspace – an independent virtual and nomadic project space – to support artists whose paths to the canvas have been as unconventional as hers.
