A NEW FRIEND 
Fine Art Print by Inna Etuvgi Image size 39,5x55cm Actual size 43x59cm “A New Friend” is a fine art print blending photography with AI-enhanced digital art, reflecting on humanity’s evolving relationship with technology. 
Set against a serene pastoral landscape, a young woman — poised, enigmatic, and almost synthetic in her elegance — stands beside her robotic companion. In an era of hyperconnectivity yet rising loneliness, where digital networks offer constant contact but fewer genuine bonds, the idea of a "new friend" — even a mechanical one — no longer feels strange. This work offers both tenderness and quiet irony, inviting viewers to reflect on what it means to seek connection in a world where the line between human and machine is increasingly blurred. The pastoral setting, evoking timeless emotions and our bond with nature, contrasts with the futuristic elements — suggesting that, despite external transformations, the yearning for belonging, loyalty, and companionship remains deeply human. Inna Etuvgi’s “A New Friend” is a meditation on adaptation, vulnerability, and the quiet hope that even in a future shaped by technology, the search for connection endures. It speaks to dreamers, technophiles, and realists alike — those navigating the paradoxes of modern existence.

ABOUT THE ARTIST: Inna Etuvgi is a Swedish-Chukchi art photographer whose work explores the delicate balance between nature, humanity, and technology. Growing up in the remote Arctic, where survival depends on sensitivity to nature’s smallest signs, Etuvgi developed a deep respect for the fragile ecosystems she now captures in her art. Living with Aphantasia—an inability to visualise mental images—Etuvgi turns to nature to reflect her inner landscapes, using her camera and digital art to externalise emotions and sensations. Through her macro photography, she magnifies the intricate details of nature's smallest elements, urging viewers to see their beauty, quiet resilience, and essential role in sustaining ecosystems. Her work highlights our bond with nature and challenges the human-centred worldview, reminding us of the interconnectedness of all life and encouraging a more mindful, compassionate relationship with the natural world. Beginning her artistic journey in 2020, Etuvgi was internationally recognised as a finalist for the Arte Laguna Prize in 2022 and received a grant from the Swedish Arts Grants Committee in 2023. As art critic Tabish Khan notes, “Her work transports us to other worlds—both real and imaginary, but always in harmony with nature.”
