Lorena Levi

Lorena Levi was a London based narrative painter. Her practice is research based using the internet; through podcasts, published psychoanalytical papers, chatroom sites and reddit forums, to create works that merge the traditional practice of oil painting with current technology and subject matter. Levi's collages found images to create imagined narratives that display her unique ability to capture and create intricate and intriguing psychological relationships between her sitters. Graduating from Edinburgh University with an MA in Fine art 2021, Levi worked in London. She won The Astaire Prize 2021, has been awarded the Overall Winner of critically acclaimed The Jacksons Painting Prize 2022, the NHS Lothian Tonic Arts award 2023 and the CASS art prize in 2025.
