Ruccola - Studio Edition (2025) Photograph by Inna Etuvgi

RUCCOLA
fine art photo print by Inna Etuvgi

Arugula belongs to the Brassicaceae family, traditionally called "cruciferous" — cross-bearing plants. Exploring this idea, I shaped a macro photograph of a single arugula blossom into a cross-like pattern where the natural veins and petal structures reveal an unexpected geometric beauty, an organic mandala.

The kaleidoscopic form comes only from symmetrical mirroring — a photographic compositional technique that keeps the organic textures intact. No drawing or AI was used — the entire motif comes purely from the real flower.

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."
