Inna Sumina
Inna Sumina is a contemporary Russian painter whose work reflects her inner world, which she often describes as a "garden." This garden is an abstract and ever-changing space that can be chaotic, orderly, or unpredictable, yet always vivid and dynamic.
Sumina's paintings explore the fleeting nature of time, contrasting the notion of seizing the moment with the pursuit of instant gratification in modern consumer society. Her art serves as a meditation on the importance of awareness and the beauty of the present, encouraging viewers to slow down and appreciate nature's fleeting moments.
Central to her work are flowers, which she uses as symbols to examine the transience of life. Through the stages of a plant’s growth—its blooming and eventual withering—Sumina draws a parallel to the human experience. Her flowers can be dramatic, often tending toward destruction, or they can be vibrant and full of life, reflecting the ever-changing nature of existence.
She often employs dark, black backgrounds in her paintings, a choice that allows her to emphasize the fragile beauty of the flowers. The contrast helps to make the colors of the flowers more saturated, providing structure to the overall image. By using this deep, almost void-like backdrop, Sumina creates intuitive images that evoke the silhouettes of flowers, inviting the viewer to contemplate their delicate, transient beauty in the context of a world that often feels uncertain and fleeting.
