INanto

ASHES & BLOOM is INanto's debut series of paintings that emerges as a compelling testament to transformation — a visual narrative of rebirth, where remnants of the past give rise to new beginnings.

INanto paints from the quiet fractures of memory, where identity dissolves and reassembles in the shadows of the present. Working in oil, each canvas becomes a vessel — a meditation on the human that needs to belong, to believe, and to feel, amidst an increasingly noisy, cold, and uncertain world.“My work is also rooted in memory — in the often silent, formative experiences of childhood”. We don’t leave our past behind — we carry it, cohabitate with its ghosts, and learn to speak its language. Through painting, INanto explores this emotional archaeology: the way early wounds shape identity, how silence speaks, and how pain can be transformed into something honest, constructive, and resonant. INanto’s practice is an act of turning memory into matter — balancing shadow and light to uncover truth, resilience, and the possibility of healing.This is not just painting. It is a testimony. A modern echo of light pressed through silence.

INanto, is a painter based in New York City and the Hudson Valley, who delves into the profound interplay between darkness and light, exploring the terrain between the shadows of doubt and the radiance of hope. His work navigates the delicate balance between the weight of existence and the pursuit of deeper meaning.While INanto has always been a creative , it was within the fashion industry that he spent more two decades honing his artistic voice. At the close of 2023, he chose to embrace his authentic artistic essence, driven by an urgent need to align with his truth.
