My name is Lena Goral.

I was born in 1988 at Kiel, Northern Germany. It is said that most of the ghost stories are created in regions with bad weather and so it is with me. The stormy, rainy and often foggy region of Schleswig-Holstein with its rough sea and eerie bogs had a big influence on my work. For a long time I kept my stories to myself, just telling them to the trees and tombstones on my walks. In 2020 I graduated with my Bachelor of Arts from the art&design department at the BTK Hochschule für Gestaltung at the city of Hamburg and I started to work as an illustrator and graphic designer.My love for ghost stories and thrillers accompanied me since I did my first attempts of drawing in my childhood. The darker side of human nature, my interest in everything paranormal as well as the grotesque beauty of death and decay are my muses. They lead me to a world which is often disturbing to me but I would call it my refuge.
