Artwork description:

"BE BOLD! YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL" is a macrophoto of a moss sporophyte with raindrops strung on it like beads. The background rainbow came from the reflections from the drops in the rays of the setting sun.

In the macro world, I like to find reflections of my thoughts on our human lives. And in this photo, I see a bold moss that knows that it looks so special and so beautiful in its wonderful clothes from the maestro Rain, and in the rays of the soft evening sun, it looks especially good. So it is brave to be outstanding, be brave to show its beauty to the world.

This photo was taken on a very special day for me, and it reflects the peak of emotions that I had, being accepted as an artist! Newborn artist!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Inna Etuvgi, hailing from Russia's Arctic shores, brings her technical background to light as a Swedish art photographer. Her artistic journey began in 2020, and in 2022, she gained recognition as a finalist in the Arte Laguna Prize 16. In 2023, she received an honour from the Swedish Arts Grants Committee. Etuvgi’s works are featured in “Photography in the Visual Culture” 22/23 book.

Navigating life with Aphantasia, Inna's mind doesn't visualise, but it pulsates with vivid concepts, emotions, and sensations. She uses her camera not merely to explore the world but to externalise her unique mental landscapes, making them visible.

Art critic Tabish Khan says about Inna’s art: “her work is about transporting us to other worlds - both real and imaginary, but always in harmony with nature. She may have a mind blind to visualisation, but she has eyes and a camera that capture the beauty in the worlds that the rest of us often overlook and take for granted.”
