Josephine Florens
Josephine Florens (born 1988, Odessa, Ukraine) is a professional painter currently living and working in Germany after relocating due to the war in Ukraine.
Originally educated in law, she holds Master’s degrees in Civil and International Law, yet ultimately chose to pursue her true vocation in the arts. Since 2017, when she began studying painting at the Art-Ra School of Fine Arts, Josephine has developed a distinctive artistic voice that unites technical mastery with emotional resonance.
Working predominantly with oil paints, while occasionally incorporating acrylics, she explores a wide range of genres — from portraiture and landscapes to religious subjects, still lifes, animal and marine painting. Her style, which she defines as “modern vintage”, blends the depth and symbolism of classical traditions with a refined, contemporary sensibility.
Florens is a member of the College Art Association, one of the most influential professional organizations in the visual arts, and of the Odessa Marine Art Union (Ukraine). Her works are marked by sensitivity to beauty, layered symbolism, and profound human emotion, establishing her as a distinctive voice within contemporary figurative art.
