Inna Etuvgi - SPLITTING - Catawiki Edition

SEPARATION

impression d'art fine par Inna Etuvgi

An old defence, recalled again and again, replicates itself to fit new circumstances. It grows stronger — and blinds us to what is real now.

Like the cell that refuses to die, still multiplying.

But what is this defence really for now?

** "APOPTOSIS" collection.

The print ships on its own, unmatted. If you’d like, I can mount it in a custom passepartout with a backing board, tailored to fit your frame perfectly.

I use pH-neutral archival materials and a reversible mount, so the print can always be removed without damage. This is an optional paid service — just message me for the price and details.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Inna Etuvgi is a Swedish-Chukchi art photographer and digital artist, internationally recognised as an Arte Laguna Prize finalist (Venice) and a recipient of the Swedish Arts Grants Committee grant. Born in a remote Arctic village in Chukotka and trained in technical cybernetics, she began her artistic practice in 2020 and has since exhibited across Europe — in Venice, London, Barcelona, Palermo, and San Marino.

Etuvgi lives with aphantasia — she cannot see images in her mind. Her camera and AI serve as extensions of her visual imagination, allowing her to create what she cannot picture internally. Through macro photography she enters the hidden worlds of mosses, lichens, and dewdrops; through digital art she gives form to psychological states and inner archetypes. Both are rooted in a deep sensitivity shaped by her Chukchi upbringing — an instinct to feel into every living thing.

As art critic Tabish Khan notes: "Her work transports us to other worlds — both real and imaginary, but always in harmony with nature."
