Lena Gal's work is characterized by a striking symbolism in which the female element, in its relation to nature and the world, occupies the central role. The woman's interiority is enigmatic, sensual, and disturbing. Her painting comes from her experience and the memories with a strong connection to the earth, the island where she was born, the female universe, the women of the island, the mist, the pulsating earth woman, volcanic force, Mother Earth women.
