Visual Artist & Photographer
MARIANNE VALONLEHTO
The Inner Temple continues the journey initiated in the My Nature series. Here, the exploration deepens, delving into both our authentic inner essence and our profound connection with nature, embracing the enchantment of forests and wildlife. Throughout this series, my focus remains on meditation, seeking a deeper understanding of how nature is experienced and revealing its essence.
In this artistic journey, I find joy in elevating my meditation and painting processes by blending them with the harmonies of nature sounds and traditional music. As I created these paintings, I immersed myself in a rich tapestry of meditative nature sounds, resonant Indian mantras, the therapeutic rhythms of Medicine Music, sacred Tibetan chants, soul-stirring Mongolian throat singing, and the intricate fusion of these elements in carefully curated electronic music.
