Visual Artist & Photographer

MARIANNE VALONLEHTO

The Inner Temple is a continuation project from the My Nature series. In this series I have continued my exploration with the nature. With the nature I mean our true inner essences, but also the forests and wildlife. In this series I have focused to meditate on how this nature is being experienced. What is it, in it’s essence? I enjoy to deepen my meditation and painting process with ceremonial cacao, nature sounds and traditional music. When I made these paintings, I was listening to meditative nature sounds, Indian mantras, South American music, Tibetan chanting, Mongolian throat singing and some fine electronic music, which is combining these elements.
