Between Forest Edge and Studio
New block prints are currently taking shape in my studio – little love notes to the wonderful animals and plants that surround us.
They’ll become part of a songbook for the Circlewise Institute, a project I’m honored to be part of.
If you’d like to follow along and be among the first to hear more, feel free to sign up for my newsletter. I’d love to have you with me on this journey!
FEMININITY & NATURE CONNECTION
Deeply touched by the nature around me and inspired by the landscape of my soul, I create magical works of art through linocut printing.
With this technique I create expressive goddesses and gods who take us on a journey to our own nature and remind us of our spiritual connection to Mother Earth.
art.from.ilkas.heart is a small art studio that I opened in 2018. Each linocut print is designed, hand carved, inked and printed by me directly in my studio.
Thank you for visiting – I hope my work touches and inspires you!
My Story, Values & Vision
- How did I get into making art full time?
- Why linocut?
- Why the topic of femininity and connection to nature?
- What values do I orient myself by?
- What is my vision?
Ilka's works of art accompany me every day on my cyclical path through life. They are present at every women's circle and touch our hearts.
The "Goddess of Inner Wisdom" reminds me again and again to trust my intuition, to pause and to perceive myself in the moment. Like a small gate into my inner self.
Ilka makes very fine, beautiful art that immediately appealed to me and blew me away. Exactly what I've been looking for for a long time! Great quality and very nice, friendly contact.
I was thrilled with the herb bag. The quality of the print is great and the artist is very nice. Shipping was super fast. I would buy again
Wonderful sticker with a magical design in perfect quality! Would buy again!
For Christmas I gave myself Ilka's goddess of fertility. Her art touches the heart and soul, I feel how much heart and wisdom is in her art. Thank you very much, dear Ilka, for your work!
"The Praying Goddess - she supports me in expressing gratitude and immersing myself in silence. She reminds me how to connect more deeply with the great mystery and serve life."
