Lana Denina Cohen, a painter based in Canada, was born in 1997 in Benin, West Africa, to a Franco-Algerian father and a Beninese mother. Her art is a compelling exploration of the lives of black women and mixed-race women around the world. In a deeply inclusive and evocative manner, Lana’s work sheds light on the experiences of those often overlooked in the art world. She passionately combats the hypersexualization, objectification, and mental health challenges faced by women through her expressive canvases, striving to spread love and understanding.
Lana’s art is an unfiltered reflection of her own life as a young woman navigating the world as a unique kind of outsider-a person of mixed heritage and a neurodivergent artist. She found solace and fulfillment in her art when faced with a world that often left her feeling alone. Her surrealistic style, characterized by vivid colors, the presence of big hands, red strings, and hearts, features nude figures of women in doll-like poses.
In Lana’s art, the more “doll-like” a woman appears, the more it poignantly reflects the suffering often hidden behind a facade of supposed flawlessness, serving as a powerful visual commentary on the objectification and hypersexualization endured by women.
Denina is also known for experimenting with AI and decentralization in her projects, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the digital art world. Her unique combination of traditional art techniques and cutting-edge technology has made her a leader in the industry and has set her apart from her peers.
Denina’s work has gained worldwide recognition, with her art being featured in galleries, exhibitions and media all over the world. Her unique style and powerful message continues to resonate with audiences of all backgrounds and her reputation as a pioneering artist continues to grow.
