Lena Bojakowska was born in Bydgoszcz in 2002. She is currently a second-year student of conservation and restoration of painting and polychrome sculpture at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun. There, combining her interest in creating with the theoretical, technical and technological side of art, she seeks effects that she later tries to use in her work.

Her artistic activity reflects her interest in the world of antiquity and motifs drawn from its culture. Mainly, however, she focuses on mythological themes. In her work, she simultaneously uses symbols derived from other cultures, weaving them into works that usually depict female portraits or nudes.
