Ingrid Blixt

I am a visual artist, living and working in Lansing, Michigan, US

Drawing is my primary medium, although I often incorporate in my work a wider variety of mediums and techniques: encaustic painting, printmaking, digital illustration and painting, photography and alternative photography, metal/wood and fabric. Constantly experimenting with new techniques, my work expands and acquires new dimensions.

As a subject matter, the human dimension defines my interest and represents the main inspiration source. My travels around the country and also visiting back with my home country (Romania) offers me a great source of inspiration, as well as my everyday experiences and interactions with people.

I focus on subtle generalities, common intimacies, and general valid truths, as: love, longing, death, hope– which will never become over-used subjects, because they are eternally embedded in human nature and we will always identify with them.

I graduated with a MFA from the University of Art and Design, Cluj Napoca, Romania.
