Expo- Lena Vigeveno
juli 12 | 15:00 – 19:00
Lena Vigeveno is a Dutch artist born and raised in Amsterdam. Starting as a
costume designer and stylist her love of textiles is still a big inspiration for her
current work.
‘This series is about my relationship to my Ukrainian heritage.
Inspired by folklore, traditions, and family tales, I’ve been painting the mythical
figures that are my (and perhaps all of our) ancestors.
These larger paintings depict famous folk figures of East Slavic culture.
I combined these figures with traditional embroidery techniques and different
fabrics, representing my family
’s and my personal relationship to the trade of
clothes making.
