Inken Stabell is a printmaker and illustrator with a focus on atmospheric zinc etchings. Crafted through meticulous layering of line-etching, spray-painted aquatints and burnishing, Inken's etchings strike a delicate balance between classical refinement and expressive stylisation. While respecting the scientifically accurate representation of nature, Inken designs her images with the sole focus on that which cannot really be described by science. However, there is a certain universal objectiveness about the human experience of the sublime, and etching has turned out to be the optimal medium for Inken to capture it with, while celebrating the involving and challenging process. The longest, most complex etching sequence in Inken’s catalogue are 24 zinc etchings illustrating Franz Schubert’s Winterreise song cycle, completed over the span of nearly two years in Portsmouth and Berlin. Since then, Inken has worked on a series of seascape etchings, with the latest, The Flying Dutchman, finished recently. Inken completed the Swedish Academy of Realist Art’s 3-year programme in 2019, then continued to study a Master’s degree in contemporary illustration at the University of Portsmouth (UK) with a focus on etching, which she graduated in 2020 with distinction. Having gained an audience for her atmospheric prints online, she now works and sells independently from her studio to collectors worldwide, while also teaching academic realism in Sweden.
