Painting works – a part of my creative process that I don’t like to talk about much. I much prefer listening to people who look at the works and share what they feel or what they perceive.
Sometimes I think that this is the best quality of painting – and art in general: giving the viewer the opportunity to see meanings and things that the creator might not have even thought about.
I believe that’s how it could and should be.
Painting, graphics, and design are the fields I “jump” between. It’s like being in a city, or in the countryside, or by the sea: when you spend too much time in one place, you go to another, then another, and… yet another.

About this artwork+
This painting, titled "The Mountain and the Hand," depicts a rugged, imposing mountain. The mountain dominates the canvas, seeming almost alive with its high peak and textured surface. The artist, Inga Armon, uses a cool, bluish hue overall which sets a serene yet mystical tone. The strokes are bold and expressive, suggesting the rough and tumble character of a mountain landscape. Red lines streak across the mountain's face, possibly indicating paths or perhaps symbolic wounds. In her work, Armon often explores the interaction between natural forms and human elements, which might be alluded to here. The style merges abstraction with hints of realism, capturing both the essence and the physicality of the mountain in a unique way. This approach makes the viewer feel the mountain's presence rather than just observe it.
