Transmutation
through
acts of creation
Transmutation is my medium. Ideas, emotions and experiences are the raw materials that I work with.
Sometimes I work alone, sharing stories from my life using the different tools and techniques that are at my disposal. And other times I take part in shared processes with fellow wanderers and wonderers.
My main reason for doing this work is simply that I have a strong drive to learn and evolve and to share my learning process with others.
But the learning serves a deeper purpose: when we're learning about ourselves and processing our experiences we can reclaim sides that have previously been suppressed and overlooked. And when we reconnect with those forgotten sides of ourselves, we can step more fully into our power and live a life that feels deeply fulfilling and true to us.
With Love,

On the surface level, my work is deeply personal. But the personal realm is our own individual portal into the universal: into a connection with everyone and everything else.
The overarching mission of my work is to inspire and empower others to find their own portals, by showing how I've found mine. And I've realized that this portal is most easily found (or perhaps it is created) in the act of creation.
On this website you can find portals (links and pages) to my different creations/transmutations. You can read more about my artistic process in the artist statement below.
If you wish to contact me, the surest way to reach me is by email to minnamari@mysterious.studio
but you can also say hi over social media.
Thank you for visiting this space.
I am fascinated by intersections, the things we learn to think of as opposites, and the shared spaces between & within them. Previously I have made some attempts to focus my artistic practice into one specific area, but I can't seem to stay there for very long. That is why I am now instead embracing this diversity, and respecting my mutable nature by blending together different areas of creative expression. Though the tools and techniques I use range from visual works to writing and interactive prototypes, there are two central themes that form a red thread through my practice: Storytelling and Soul.
Stories make their way into our hearts and can both connect and divide people, depending on the way they are told. I work with stories on multiple levels, with multiple media, blending visuals and words in my newsletter and with sound in my podcasts and music. I often work autobiographically, inviting the viewer/reader/listener into my own life by sharing my contemplations and inner processes. I hope that the sharing of my stories can inspire people to reflect on their own life stories in a similar manner.
Artistic Approach
At the core, I think that everything is interrelated, in complex and simple ways. The main aim of my artistic practice is to learn about, and experiment with, this sense of complex connectedness that I feel radiating through it all. Sharing my artwork is my way of translating this complexity by giving a concrete form to inner processes such as emotional states, constructs of the mind and messages from the unconscious.
My mission is to create soulful art that can ignite something in the experiencer that helps them reconnect with their deepest, truest Self. This process can happen in different ways: Sometimes simply by sparking a sense of curiosity, and other times by providing an opportunity to reconnect with forgotten dimensions.
