Ilna Colemere ~ Intuitive Abstract Artist
I begin with touch.
Before image or idea, there is surface—waiting to be disturbed, answered, felt.
I work intuitively, allowing texture, gesture, and material to guide the unfolding.
Layers gather like weather, shaped by instinct rather than plan, until something essential begins to surface.
My work dwells in elemental tensions: earth and water, stillness and movement, structure and release.
Balance is not fixed but negotiated—held briefly, then altered.
Color arrives as breath; form as trace.
Material is not passive.
Canvas and sculptural surfaces respond, resist, and remember.
Each piece becomes a record of that exchange—a quiet place to pause, to listen,
and to sense what remains beneath the visible.
For collectors, these works offer more than an image.
They are tactile meditations—objects shaped by time, process,
and presence—created to live with you,
deepen over time, and quietly reveal themselves through continued looking.
