Inna Etuvgi - THE GYRE

THE GYRE
fine art photo print by Inna Etuvgi

"The beauty that has the power to bend space and to pull everything into its orbit".

Modified macro photograph of a giant poppy flower. Every summer these poppies take over my garden — bees, cameras, every pair of eyes. Impossible to walk past.

* Portraits of the Spring collection


ABOUT THE PRINT:

OPTIONAL — MAT & READY-TO-FRAME PREPARATION

The print ships on its own, unmatted. If you’d like, I can mount it in a passepartout with a backing board so it slips straight into a standard frame. This is an optional paid service — just message me for the price.

I use pH-neutral archival materials and a reversible mount, so the print can always be removed without damage. For this piece (30 × 37.5 cm) the standaard mat is 40 × 50 cm, maar ik kan het ook op maat snijden zodat het in jouw lijst past.

The artist's larger-scale Studio and Master Editions are sold through premier online galleries; this size is not available through any gallery or platform.

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."
