TROPICAL DREAMS OF FRITILLARIA
matted fine art photography print by Inna Etuvgi


This fritillaria was photographed at sunset through a vintage Soviet lens — the kind that bends colour into something half-remembered. The warm hues reminded me of Goan sunsets, where I spent eight winters watching the light do exactly this. For a moment, I became the flower and myself at once — both looking at the same fading sky.

The bud's checkered pattern hovers between pupa, eye, and something not quite nameable. A dream in a botanical disguise.

* Part of the PORTRAITS OF THE SPRING collection.

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."
