Natasha Lelenco

Natasha Lelenco, born in Chișinău, Moldova in 1982, is a Moldovan painter and contemporary artist based in Spain since 2008. She is known for her figurative work, particularly portraiture, and holds a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Cluj-Napoca in Romania.

Lelenco's art has been exhibited in multiple exhibitions across Europe and America. Notable exhibitions include the I Trienal de Tijuana in Mexico, The Nordart International Art Exhibition in Büdelsdorf, Germany and the Latino Arts Project at the Irving Museum & Archives in Texas. Her approach to art is primarily figurative, with a strong focus on the human form. She explores themes of identity, self-awareness, and the role of chance in shaping life's value.

Her artistic journey has led to the creation of several self-contained series where narrative and format works together. These series often feature a playful mix of repetition, color contrasts, and intentional deformations aimed at capturing psychological realism with a selective use of the elements and resources available in her studio.

A recurring motif in her art is the use of panels, where repetitive representations weave a narrative. This repetition, especially in the portrayal of faces, highlights a world characterized by seriality. Through her thoughtful exploration of these themes, Lelenco offers a unique perspective on the human condition.

I was initially a little skeptical about buying art from the other side of the world and having it shipped internationally but honestly, this has been one of the smoothest, easiest purchases I’ve ever made. From start to finish, the service was phenomenal. I was kept informed throughout the entire process and was even reminded ahead of time about the customs fee. The artwork was so carefully packaged and arrived completely unscathed. I’m absolutely thrilled with the whole experience and would definitely purchase through Rise Art again.

Really impressed by the service, regular communications and quality of the artwork received. The website was easy to view and shop from with lots of relevant information to help with artwork selection. I received regular email updates which was really useful as it kept me in the know at all times. I could anticipate the tax payment and delivery. Thank you so much.

Buying my first piece of art online felt like a big deal, and Rise Art made it an exceptional experience from start to finish. Their collection is massive—every style, every format, something for literally every kind of space and vibe. Meredith from the Rise Art team was in touch the whole way through, from when I hit “purchase” to when the piece landed on my doorstep. It felt thoughtful and personal, which isn’t what you expect with online shopping. Safe to say this won’t be my last piece from them.
