BIO

Jeanette Innala is a contemporary abstract artist whose practice investigates how color, darkness, and transparency reshape our perception of space and movement. Working across expressive painting and abstract photography, she constructs layered compositions that evolve with their surrounding environment, allowing light to continually transform the visual experience.

Central to Innala's practice is her use of black. Black is not the absence of light—it is architecture, the active force, that gives her work and technique depth and movement. Where white is traditionally used to create light and openness, Innala employs black to deepen color, intensify movement, and establish visual rhythm. It becomes a structural element that anchors the composition while amplifying the luminosity and energy of the colors it surrounds.

Built through successive layers, each work develops an optical depth that extends and deepends the colors. Transparency, reflection, and shifting light create images that are never entirely fixed, revealing new relationships between colour, form, and space as the environment changes. Focusing on creating works that evolve, and remain in continuous dialogue, with the surrounding environment rather than existing as static objects.

Innala´s practice explores abstraction as an evolving experience—one in which perception is shaped not only by the work itself, but by black, the light, its movement, and the space.

Her work can be found in numerous private and public collections throughout the Nordics, Europe and the United States. Innala's work has been exhibited internationally Europe, and Asia. Thirty works were acquired by the Deji Art Museum in Nanjing for its permanent collection. Her work is also represented with several works in the collections of Sweden's Public Art Agency. In 2024, she was named Designer of the Year for the Brancaia Wine Collection Toscana Italy.

She currently lives and works in South of Sweden.
