Lana Eileen

My work conveys a blending of inner and outer worlds, incorporating natural elements to visually represent a connection between self and other. I am interested in drawing on global mythology and examining the intersection between art and archaeology, inspired by folklore and ancient beliefs from around the world, which has been further influenced by my time as a resident artist in Iceland, Egypt and mainland Europe.
