Artwork description:

This limited edition print titled “Free Flow” by Inna Etuvgi showcases the ephemeral beauty of spring through the lens focused on a tulip flower.

With meticulous attention to the tulip's natural shapes and contours, this photograph accentuates the soft, flowing elegance of its form, evoking a sense of gentle movement. The tender beauty captured in this image reflects the essence of spring's delicate balance, offering a visual representation of nature's serene flow.


"When I look at this picture, I feel the flow. This feeling is in the soft lines of the tulip leaves, and in the geometry of its petals, that moves like twisting clockwise.

And I want to ask you - What is a free flow for you? What do you feel?

Do you feel something when you drive and road lights are green one by one… when you meet correct people and everything happens just perfectly in time. When it seems that the Universe supports you. When you are in your place, and you are in the moment… you are in the flow. Like this tulip, thriving in spring. What do you feel in such moments?"

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.”
