Ines Katamso is a visual artist based in Bali - Indonesia who delves in a thought exploration of the concept of life, drawing upon both scientific and spiritual perspectives. Her artistic practice evolved from observations of microorganisms, morphogenesis of bacteria, and recently, fossils study. In doing so, she adopts a very organic visual approach that combines natural material with ancestral craft technique.
Katamso's multicultural background, originating from both Indonesia and France, serves as a significant influence on her work. This duality allows her to tap into diverse cultural perspectives, enabling her to deconstruct deeply ingrained beliefs and notions surrounding identity. Through this process, she aims to gain a more comprehensive perception of herself and the world around her.
She seeks to create a platform for contemplation, encouraging viewers to reconsider their own conceptions of existence and the complex interplay between science, spirituality, and personal identity.
