Inka Bell

Inka Bell’s intricate collage-style art explores the geometrical ambiguity between two- and three-dimensional spaces through materials, colors, light, surfaces, and weight. Inspired by different visual phenomena and the endless possibilities of constructing image surfaces, Bell’s abstract minimalist art engages and captivates the viewer’s attention.

Bell began printing in 2012 and creates both small- and large-scale prints, which call for meticulous precision and attention to detail. Using paper as her preferred medium, Bell wants to expand the field of printmaking and sculptural paper work. Her mix of colors and shapes gives the viewer an intimate experience, making them aware of the sensory spaces that exist between themselves, the artwork, and their surroundings. Although her working process involves careful consideration, Bell strives to maintain a curious mind and avoid limiting herself to familiar techniques, resulting in a uniquely intuitive artistic approach.
