Lena Solovyeva
Lena Solovyeva(b. 1975) is a multidisciplinary artist with a background in architecture and design. She is a graduate of the Joseph Bakstein Institute of Contemporary Art and Alexander Brodsky’s workshop “Architecture Through Etching”.
Her practice explores the relationship between humans and nature, construction and the hidden processes that unfold within it. Lena focuses on the everyday life of workers, the human imprint on both natural and man-made landscapes, and the ways we engage with space—touching on ecological, social, and often invisible boundaries.
Currently, Lena is developing several ongoing projects, including Post Florum, Non-Place, and Habitat. In these series, she investigates how industrial spaces are shaped and inhabited by people — through objects, sounds, gestures and movement. By combining photography with sound, installation, video, and sculptural elements, she invites the viewer into a state of “perpetual construction”, revealing how scale and spatial dynamics influence our perception of self and environment around.
Lena’s design works have been published in Frame, Rizzoli, Phaidon, Beta Plus, Elle Decor, and Yellowtrace, and have received several international awards. Her art has been shown in international group exhibitions and contemporary art fairs (PAD Paris 2024-2025, Blazar 2023, Cosmoscow 2022–2024).
