Lena Applebaum.
Lena Applebaum is a British artist-painter based in East London. Her work focuses on expressive portraits of children in Outer Space. The signature character of the artist is the 'Spacebaby', where babies, like little superheroes, represent adventure, youth, and mystery.
The central theme in Lena’s work speaks to the idea of the journey we all take from the innocence of childhood to the exploration of adulthood. Through her expressive paintings of children, she aims to capture the emotions and experiences of growing up. Lena draws inspiration from visiting places such as utopian cities across Europe, abandoned buildings, playgrounds, mid-century vintage designs and toys.
