Inessa Ruzh

I create symbolic, dreamlike illustrations that blend the feminine body, nature, and mythology. Inspired by Slavic folklore, sacred geometry, and the Japanese art of kintsugi, my work explores inner light, quiet strength, and the beauty of emotional healing.

Each piece is a visual meditation — a soft place to land in a chaotic world. Through glowing cracks, cosmic roots, or golden veins of energy, I depict the invisible connections between the body, spirit, and the universe.

My art invites the viewer to pause, to feel, and to remember their own wholeness. It speaks especially to women and dreamers who are drawn to gentleness, mysticism, and intuitive beauty.
