Bio
Ukrainian-born Architect and Photographer Lena Pogrebnaya, now based in Toronto, seamlessly integrates her architectural expertise with a profound love for photography. Delving into themes of assimilation, youth influence, and the intrinsic connection between nature and architecture, she seeks to transcend the facelessness of contemporary artist statements. Pogrebnaya believes in simplifying her expression to connect deeply with her audience. Visual art, surpassing any verbal language, is her most powerful tool to express beauty and harmony. Her creative process, driven by an overwhelming urge to bring something holistically 'new' to life, is fueled by ideas that emerge from personal experiences and external factors. Film photography, in particular, allows her to merge invisible ideas with the tangible physics of analog photography, creating a visible product that can inspire others and broaden their perspectives. For Pogrebnaya, even inspiring one person is a profound satisfaction.
