About
Ina Valentinova creates bright vibrant images that suggest a soft utopian state. However, they are caused by a strong frustration with the current global political and environmental situation. Nature in its different forms is the power that moves the artist's fantastic narratives. There is a combination of cultural, anthropological and religious references in her prints and drawings, paintings and weavings. The artist's sincere spiritual revelation is illustrated in order to serve as an example for the observers to reflect images from their own personal imagination.
