Artwork
Ina’s artwork is a visceral exploration of the human psyche, often blending abstract and figurative elements to evoke raw emotion. Working primarily with mixed media, she experiments with texture, layering, and unconventional materials to create pieces that feel both intimate and unrestrained. Her use of bold, often chaotic brushstrokes contrasts with delicate, intricate details, mirroring the tension between vulnerability and strength that defines much of her work. Each piece becomes a conversation—an invitation for the viewer to engage with their own emotions and experiences.

Vision
At The Crude Gallery, Ina curates exhibitions that challenge conventional notions of beauty and artistic expression. She seeks out work that speaks to the unfiltered reality of human existence, championing pieces that embrace imperfection, intensity, and truth. Her own art is deeply rooted in this philosophy, often confronting themes of identity, memory, and the transient nature of life. Whether through large-scale pieces or smaller, intimate studies, she crafts pieces that refuse to be merely observed—they demand to be felt. Recognised for its stark honesty and visceral beauty, Ina's art - seen in our latest Collections - resonates deeply with those who seek profound truths in artistic expression.

Poetry
Although primarily known for her visual art, Ina’s creative practice is deeply intertwined with poetry, with each medium informing and enriching the other. Her writing, much like her paintings, is unfiltered and emotionally charged, using stark imagery and lyrical intensity to navigate themes of love, loss, and identity. She approaches poetry with the same raw honesty that defines her visual work, crafting verses that cut to the core of human experience.
Her critically acclaimed debut collection, Under This Flesh, reflects this synergy, with each poem acting as a meditation on the fragility and resilience of the human spirit. Much like her paintings, her poetry resists neat conclusions, instead embracing contradiction and complexity. Her words, like her brushstrokes, are deliberate yet instinctive, offering a space where language and image merge into a singular, immersive experience.
