    FOREST’S MOSSY SOUL

    Matted Fine Art Photography Print by Inna Etuvgi

    Image size: 40x56cm



    "Forest’s Mossy Soul" is a fine art macro photograph that reveals the delicate essence of the Swedish forest through two fragile moss sporophytes, captured in a quiet moment by art photographer Inna Etuvgi. Taken in the forest of Huskvarna, Sweden, this piece reflects the artist’s vision of the forest’s spirit—a gentle soul hidden within the tiny, resilient tops of moss. Vulnerable yet enduring, soft yet resilient, this image embodies the poetic beauty of nature in its most delicate forms.

    This print is part of the SAGOSKOGEN collection, meaning “Fairy Tale Forest,” which invites viewers to uncover the enchanting stories of the Swedish wilderness. From mosses to lichens, each piece in the collection celebrates the hidden wonders that quietly sustain life, offering a glimpse into nature’s often-overlooked marvels.

    Growing up in the Arctic, Inna developed a profound respect for nature’s fragility, learning to observe the subtle signals that reflect life’s delicate balance. Through her macro photography, she magnifies these hidden details, challenging us to appreciate their role in ecosystems and reconnect with the natural world beyond a human-centered view.

    "Forest’s Mossy Soul" brings the serene, magical atmosphere of a Scandinavian forest into any space, perfect for those who seek unique, nature-inspired decor or a meaningful gift for nature lovers. Ideal for art collectors, galleries, and nature enthusiasts, this print combines the calm beauty of nature with fine art photography, offering a tranquil yet powerful addition to any home, office, or curated collection.

    ABOUT THE ARTIST: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.”

  • About this artist

    Concept

    Bio:

    Inna Etuvgi is a self-taught art photographer with Aphantasia, based in Sweden. Specializing in the macro photography of northern nature, Etuvgi's work reveals the intricate beauty of mosses, lichens, and other often-overlooked elements of the natural world.

    Born in 1982 in a small village on the shores of the Arctic Ocean in Chukotka, Russia, Etuvgi’s early life in the remote Arctic instilled in her a deep respect for nature's fragile balance. This upbringing would later become a key influence in her artistic practice.

    In 2005, she graduated with honors from the Faculty of Technical Cybernetics at St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, earning a master's degree. Although her background is in technology, Etuvgi’s technical knowledge has been instrumental in her self-education in photography and digital art, allowing her to merge technical precision with artistic expression.

    After moving to Sweden in 2018, Etuvgi was inspired by the local landscapes, leading her to explore macro photography in 2020. Her work has become a way to not only express her feelings but also explore and connect with the world around her, reflecting both her sensitivity to nature and her fascination with the unseen.

    In 2022, Etuvgi was a finalist in the prestigious Arte Laguna Prize 16 for her macro photographs of Cladonia Stellaris lichens. In 2023, she was awarded a grant from the Swedish Arts Grants Committee, further recognizing her contribution to the field of art photography.



    Artist Statement:

    My work is a response to the delicate balance of life that I learned to respect growing up in the Arctic, where survival depends on the smallest signs of nature. Through macro photography, I magnify the hidden beauty of mosses, lichens, and dewdrops—overlooked organisms that play an essential role in maintaining ecosystems—challenging the human-centered worldview.

    With Aphantasia, my inability to visualize images internally, nature becomes my external mirror, reflecting my inner landscapes, coloured with emotions and sensations. This intimate dialogue with nature drives my creative process. By incorporating AI and generative digital art, I extend this exploration, blending the organic with the technological, to examine how humans fit into both natural and social systems.

    Ultimately, my art serves as a reminder of the fragile interconnectedness of all life. As we push forward into an increasingly technology-driven future, my work encourages viewers to pause, reconsider their place in the world, and embrace a more mindful and compassionate relationship with nature.

    Art critic Tabish Khan captures the essence of her work: “Whether she's taking us close to the Earth at its smallest scale or creating fantastical figures covered in plant life through digital art, her work is about transporting us to other worlds—both real and imaginary, but always in harmony with nature.”
