Explore the hidden beauty of the forest floor with "Forest Stories," a limited edition fine art photography print by Inna Etuvgi, alias My Psychedelic Garden. This vivid print features a Cladonia Pyxidata lichen standing like a tower amidst a colorful array of lichens and mosses in the serene forests of Sweden.

With its rich, vivid colors, it complements boho style interiors and makes an exceptional art gift for nature lovers.

This piece is part of the 'SAGOSKOGEN' collection, a series of visual narratives that capture the fairy-tale essence of the Swedish forest. Let "Forest Stories" inspire you with its celebration of nature's hidden wonders and unsung heroes.

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.”
