Background

About Lena Schots

Hi there! I'm Lena, a painter from Rotterdam, The Netherlands. I focus on figurative art, but will also jump to abstract art if I need some distance from my still lifes and portraits. In doing so, I can keep a fresh pair of eyes and practice expressing myself in various ways, as often as I can.I can’t imagine this urgent need to paint, draw and express myself ever disappearing. It became a part of me and after quitting my job in 2021 I’ve been painting daily and running Leensch: Paintings and Illustrations by Lena Schots. When I don’t paint, I learn about painting, read about it, watch and listen to other artists talking about it, write about it and I dream about it. While running my art business and learned so much more about not only translating how I feel to a canvas, but more importantly: how others feel. I get to be a part of someone’s home, view and inner circle by picking up my brush and doing what I do best: paint as much as a human possibly can.If you have any questions for me, ideas or maybe want to collaborate in some kind of way - feel free to contact me any time via DM's or Info.leensch@gmail.com or my contactpage on
