Lena Mezsaros

Léna Meszaros is of Hungarian and Russian origin, and lives in France, where she discovered patchwork in the 1990s. Through contemporary patchwork, she finds her personal expression in figurative art quilt. Above all, she loves telling and sharing human stories, putting images to emotions. Her works are about suspended time, a moment when everything stops, but where we can always imagine movement, the before and the after. There’s this intensity of the present moment, very delicate, very ephemeral, sometimes dramatic. There’s also a kind of exuberance, an almost baroque profusion, a visual charged with color and emotion.

She employs a variety of techniques, including ecoprinting, embossing metal leafs, cutting organza with soldering iron and acrylic pouring. Her use of diverse materials in her creations often leads her toward three-dimensional work.

As a member of Studio Art Quilt Associates (SAQA) and the international group 20 Perspectives, she exhibits her works in the USA and Europe.

She actively participates in group projects and competitions organized by the European Quilt Association (EQA). She initiated the SAQA Europe & Middle East’s “Orient Express” project. In France, she is a member of the Temperature Quilts Group called Collectif Quilts Météo .

Léna teaches classes on the use of metal, including crocheting wire, acrylic pouring, layered landscapes, ecoprinting and her organza techniques with soldering iron. She is also a Qi Gong teacher and practises Traditional Chinese medicine.
