Lena Ru

I consider myself a self taught artist. For me personally it is to my advantage not being tied to any particular curriculum. This in itself allows freedom to follow my own artistic path. I have a great passion for painting which has spurred me on to achieve a sense of self fulfilment. I learnt through my own research, experimentation, feelings and of course mistakes along the way. I draw inspiration from the things that surround me such as colour, shape, texture, form and impression of objects. I work in a variety of different mediums, with the subject dictating which medium will achieve the best result. I am continuously in the process as all artists are in further nurturing and honing my skills.

Artistic background

Lena Ru is a floral semi-abstract intuitive painter whose work explores the quiet poetry of nature through layered textures, soft transitions, and atmospheric colour fields. Blending delicate botanical forms with expressive mark-making, she creates dreamlike compositions that feel both spontaneous and deeply grounded.

Working in mixed media, Lena builds her surfaces slowly, allowing colours to seep, overlap, and settle into organic patterns. Her intuitive process reveals traces of petals, branches, and wild garden silhouettes—suggesting memory rather than mimicking reality. Each piece captures a fleeting moment in nature: the hush of leaves, the glow of dusk light, or the whisper of flowers moving in the wind.

Lena’s art is rooted in emotion, intuition, and the subtle rhythms of the natural world. Her paintings invite viewers to pause, breathe, and reconnect with the beauty found in quiet places. Through her layered, textural style, she transforms botanical inspiration into visual meditations filled with softness, depth, and inner stillness.
