The body as temple, art as breath
The human body is a temple where the soul beats and its powerful consciousness resides, that invisible force that the mind often cannot comprehend, yet the heart always recognizes. Within it dwell memories, sensations, and experiences, as well as inexhaustible potentials waiting to be expressed along the journey of life, through the manifestation of individuality.
My body is a medium between the inner and outer world. Through its sensitivity, movement, breath, and touch, complex inner contents emerge in the form of abstraction and color. As I learn to listen to its language, I simultaneously surrender to the impulses of life that guide me into an authentic creative state. Visual art has gifted me, since childhood, this sense of complete presence, the moment when the inner world flows into the material, and the body becomes the instrument of the soul, breathing, sensing, and manifesting itself through my hands.
I remember the moments when I first held a brush as a child. Colors poured before my eyes like magic, and I followed them with curiosity and quiet devotion. Although I often drifted outside the present as a silent observer, the contact with color always brought me back, to safety, to presence. Even then, these early moments revealed to me that the body is more than a physical form; it is a temple of life.
When I create, I do not paint only with my hands, but with all of my bodies. Each carries its own vibration and memory, together forming a subtle web of perception through which I receive information. Sometimes I feel it as a flow of light, other times as a gentle whisper in the form of colors and symbols, which my body then translates into movement, stroke, and painting. In those moments, space and time lose their meaning — only breath, heartbeat, and the sense of surrender remain, joyfully encompassing the entire body.
My artworks emerge in the relationship between the body and infinity, between sensuality and silence, expressed through traditional, digital, and mixed painting techniques. With color, line, and form, I embody the flow of thoughts and emotions, merging into a contemporary impression, a space where tenderness and gentleness reveal themselves, alongside clarity, boldness, and deep passion. For me, art is never merely a visual form, but a world in which soul and body meet in the rhythm of creative touch.
In my works, I explore different layers of abstraction that flow into one another, revealing all that I am. I have divided my artistic expression into three concepts: Rem, Fluid, and Cosmic Abstraction, through which I investigate how the inner world flows into form and how the order of the universe is revealed through brushstrokes. Rem Abstraction opens doors to surreal scenes where time and space dissolve into the energy of eternal love. Fluid Abstraction brings the lightness of breath, an unending line following the movement of life force. Cosmic Abstraction reveals the order of the universe, where geometry transcends aesthetic value and becomes a symbol of harmony, eternity, and the silent intelligence of existence. The artworks that communicate my poetic expression incorporate all elements within these conceptual frameworks.
Each work is a record of an inner process, an echo of states born through the body and its senses, sometimes as a vision, sometimes as an unknown sensation seeking form. The paintings are like stories guiding the viewer from the intimacy of the heart toward the vastness of cosmic consciousness, where the images are not merely visual content but invitations to silent observation and contemplation. There is no need to search for meaning; it is enough to surrender to the flow, which calms the mind, relaxes the body, and opens space for connection with one’s own body.
It is my heartfelt wish that my paintings remind the viewer of the power of life itself, and that the body needs our attention, tenderness, and love, for it is through the body and only through the body, that we can truly feel the presence of our own life.
The body is the breath of art, and art is the breath of the body. When their bond awakens through color, movement, and feeling, a sacred space of creation is born, a moment when new life shines between the visible and the invisible. There, the soul remembers its origin, and the body its sacredness. When art breathes through us, every inhale becomes a flow, every movement a song of life, every touch an invitation to presence, to the home within ourselves.
With Love, Ines
