Lena Ekert

Russia

A contemporary digital artist, Lena Ekert developed a practice at the intersection of generative systems, glitch processes, code-based art, and artificial intelligence tools, which she approaches as true creative collaborators. Her workflow combines custom coding, real-time environments, and digital painting, as well as advanced explorations of color behavior and experimental video layering. Rather than treating color as surface or decoration, she approaches it as a condition: something that carries weight, duration, and emotional density. Ekert works primarily with generative digital video, developing systems that balance control and drift. In selected projects, she integrates AI-assisted processes, particularly when working with the human figure, using technology as a tool to refine perception rather than automate expression. Her practice explores perception as a living process: unstable, responsive, and continuously unfolding. She creates works where digital systems behave like living organisms, capable of transforming, breaking, and revealing subtle psychological states. Across abstraction, geometry, and figuration, the focus of her work is not on representation, but on states: perceptual, emotional, and temporal, experienced from within rather than observed from a distance.


Her work has been presented in major international art contexts, including Times Square, Miami Art Basel, and Art Basel Switzerland, as well as at Art Lounge Clinic and Art Innovation Gallery. Her approach has also been featured in Forbes, highlighting the singularity of her practice and her ability to anchor technology in a deeply emotional artistic language.

More on digital art

Generative art
Generative art refers to a way of creating artworks using an autonomous system. In digital art, these are usually generated from code and algorithms created by the artist, often with certain predefined parameters or systems. Although these parameters guide the final outcome of the work, generative art is generally a surprising way to create artworks, as the results are often unexpected and the number of possible outcomes can be infinite.
AI
AI art is a branch of generative art that uses artificial intelligence. Unlike other generative artworks, AI artworks use specific complex algorithms and models derived from machine learning. The most common methods for creating AI art today are GANs (generative adversarial networks) or proprietary prompting platforms such as ChatGPT, Sora, Midjourney, or Dall-e.
3D
3D art uses 3D software such as Blender, Cinema4D, Houdini, or video game software such as Unity to create works of art. In 3D works, artists can either arrange assets (the 'objects' in a 3D artwork or world) that they have created themselves or purchased from other creators to create elaborate environments and scenes (an approach to 3D art called 'set dressing'), or specialize in sculpting, which involves creating their own objects and assets.
Photogrammetry
Photogrammetry is a specialized 3D technique that allows 3D objects to be created from numerous photographs taken of an object or scene from multiple angles. These photos are then compiled to determine the specific positioning, shape, and dimensions of the object in space, and then converted into a 3D model. Initially developed for engineering and urban planning, photogrammetry has become a way for artists to produce extremely accurate 3D models from real-life images.
Collage
An extension of the traditional, plastic approach to collage, digital collage involves searching for and cutting out multiple images, extracting them from their original context, and recomposing them in a new arrangement to create a work of art. Artists can use their own photographs or find images on the internet.
Illustration
Digital illustrations are created using software such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or Procreate. As with drawing on paper, the artist uses a stylus to sketch a figure or object, usually on a tablet, to construct a scene or artistic universe. Unlike traditional drawing methods, digital illustration is much more forgiving, as mistakes can be easily corrected and drawn elements and objects can be easily moved around within a scene.
Video
Video artworks primarily use a recording camera, but may sometimes include additional post-processing or editing to distort, modify or add additional elements to the image. Some artists use state-of-the-art recording equipment to create macro zoom-ins or time lapses, privileging fidelity to the subject matter. Others use additional softwares to significantly modify or warp the video, creating an alternative perspective on the world that surrounds us.
