Portrait of Inna Shtol

Independent artist working primarily in oil and acrylic painting.

Her practice combines figurative and symbolic imagery with atmospheric interiors, nocturnal landscapes, and imagined scenes. Her work explores solitude, vulnerability, memory, emotional intimacy, and the boundary between everyday reality and imagination.

Colour plays a central role in her artistic language. Inna Shtol’s work is characterised by a saturated palette of ultramarine, deep blues, violets, and emerald tones, balanced by warm ochre, golden, and orange accents.

Professional experience in colour theory, make-up, visual image creation, decorative display, and work in film.

This experience has developed a deep understanding of colour combinations, facial and bodily expression, atmosphere, composition, and the specific qualities of visual perception.
