Read MoreInna Etuvgi was born in 1982 in Chukotka (far
North-East of Russia), where mosses and lichens are the basis of the local
endemic, which later became the subject of photography and study of the author.
In 2005 Etuvgi graduated from the Faculty of Technical
Cybernetics of St. Petersburg Polytechnic University with honors and a master's
degree. Later technical education helps the author to learn photography by
herself in 2020. Despite the lack of art education, macro photography became
the author's ideal way to express her feelings and view of the world.
A creative experiment has always been an essential
part of the artist's life. And an observation of the beauty of nature and
analysis of its influence on a person's emotional state became the basis for
her work.
"Our world is wonderful and beautiful, it is full
of magic. And this magic is in the feelings, emotions that man can feel looking
at the beauty, being with Nature. I like to find these magical moments in the
macro world.
You can see wild succulents and tiny herbs,
mosses and lichens, shiny drops of rain, or morning dew in my photos. They can
look so otherworldly and so wonderful! While taking photos I feel like I am tripping into
another reality, but at the same time, it is the world around us. Macro is the
way to see something beyond, is the way to open the vision. That's why I call
my photo project My Psychedelic Garden." - says Etuvgi about her art.
