Lena Bartula

Inspired by the esoteric, Bartula strives to bring through her work a sense of spirit, honor, truth and beauty. Her oil and mixed media paintings, as well as 3-dimensional works, incorporate organic substances such as ashes, flowers, seeds and candle wax. A combination of abstracted pattern and rich symbolism reminds us of ancient wisdom, ritual, and the mythic journey of life.
Bartula came to this spirit-based work naturally; having been educated in a convent school. Leaving behind the dogma and doctrine, she has become a traveler through the world of spiritual traditions, dreamwork, mythology and Jungian psychology. Living and working in Santa Fe, New Mexico, she is represented by Guadalupe Fine Art, which she founded in 1996. Also showcasing other artists from around the world, she continues to make art, write, lecture, curate exhibitions and present workshops. Her work is found in private and corporate collections in the U.S. and Europe..
