Lena Snow (Artist)

edit

Lena Snow (born in 1989) is an award-winning fine artist based in Germany. She is also the founder and editor of the international art platform and magazine 'Goddessarts Magazine'[1][2][3]. The artist is best known for her sensual and expressive female portraits which have been exhibited and published around the world.

Bio

edit

Lena Snow grew up in Bavaria and later moved to Mannheim where she studied Arts. She earned a master’s degree in education at the University of Mannheim (1st state examination) and the Didactic Seminar Karlsruhe (2nd state examination).

Due to some stressful years, she had almost given up on art. However, in March 2020 when the Corona Crisis struck the world, she could focus more on herself and started to paint again. Since then, she has devoted her life fully to art. Creativity has helped her to survive, especially as an adolescent where she had to go through traumatic life events. Yet, it was equally the process of emancipation and self-reliance that contributed to an elevation of her creativity.

The artist finally left the school-system and went through a process of self-discovery. Since then, creating art and supporting other artists is her main occupation. In 2021 she founded the art platform Goddessarts Magazine which is an online and print magazine, art blog and hosts virtual exhibitions since 2024. The message of emancipation and self-expression is also a vital theme of her Goddessarts Magazine and its wide community.

Lena has already exhibited nationally and internationally. Notable successes include the participation in the art fairs Art Karlsruhe[4], Art Basel[5] and Art Kaunas in Lithuania as well as the Biennale Austria. The artist has also exhibited at the MEAM (European Museum of Modern Art)[6][7][8] in Barcelona and at the Museo dell'imprenditoria Femminile[9][10] in Muravera, Italy. Lena has already appeared in numerous international publications in art and lifestyle magazines, such as The Best Address Magazine[11], CREATIV Magazine[12], and Art Market Magazine[13]. She was also given the cover story by Imirage Magazine[14], Artmagazineium[15] and Moevir Magazine[16], among others.

Lena Snow is a member and supporter of several organizations and groups like Where Are the Women Artists[17], Brushes with Cancer, Terre des Femmes[18] and Women. Life. Freedom.[19] With her magazine she regularly donates to humanitarian or non-profit organizations and raises awareness about their causes.

Work

edit

Lena Snow mainly works with acrylic on paper and paints figurative, female portraits. Her female entities are often depicted in a sensual, mythical, and elevated manner. Topics of spiritual enlightenment, connectivity, and female identity are always present in her art. Essential sources of inspiration are not only impressions of nature, but also intriguing female characters, goddesses and nymphs.

Lena Snow's ideas are strongly influenced by American Transcendentalism, especially the concepts of self-reliance and higher consciousness.

She describes her art in her own words as follows:

"I explore various aspects of femininity and female identity in my paintings. My inspiration are personal stories of women I encountered, but also female characters in mythology, film, and literature. They are a new, powerful, and emancipated approach of one's identity and sexuality, and at the same time they stand for empowerment for all women.

For a long time only men have painted women, neglecting their personal stories of ambivalence, trauma and multifaceted nature, but it is time that women change the narrative and capture their unique stories by contributing to a new, empowered expression of elevated femininity."[20]

Lena Snow's paintings often show nudity as an expression of freedom and naturalness, as she expresses in an online article with the Warriors Within Collective:

“Nudity is a central element in my art and sometimes seen as quite controversial.

However, the expression of nudity means liberation and freedom, and is merely a depiction of a natural state given by nature. As a woman living in a country where you are allowed to express nudity, it is not only a privilege to do so, but is an urge.”[21]

In her earlier years as an artist, Lena Snow created artworks out of recycled materials like used paper and plastic waste, underlining the importance of a responsible usage of natural resources.

Lena Snow is represented by the notable international online art galleries and art platforms Singulart[22], Saatchi[23], TriCera[24], KaleidoArt[25], ArtMajeur[26] and is listed at LinkedIn[27].
