INTRA: A Painting of Inner Exploration

Tranquil night landscape in INTRA painting by Skountt, symbolizing introspection and spiritual silence

I’m really excited to share with you my latest painting: INTRA. This piece was born out of a deep need to explore what’s inside me through all the inner mind layers.

The word “intra” means “within” or “inside.” For me, it perfectly captures what this painting is about: looking inward and reconnecting with the things that truly matter.

What Inspired INTRA

This painting came from many quiet moments I spent reflecting on my own thoughts and feelings. Times when I turned off the noise of the world and just sat with myself.

I also drew inspiration from books about spirituality and mysticism, and from meditation practices that help me feel grounded and connected.

A Personal, Spiritual, and Mystical Journey

To me, INTRA represents that private space inside where our emotions, fears, and hopes live. The parts of ourselves that we don’t always show.

Spiritually, it’s about connecting with that deeper part of ourselves, the part that seeks peace and purpose beyond everyday life.

On a mystical level, INTRA is about stepping into the unknown within ourselves. It’s those moments when we feel something sacred stirring inside, beyond logic and reason.

The Faceless Figure and the Calm Night

At the painting the figure without a face is not because it lacks identity, but because it holds many layers. Instead of features, the face is built with layers of color, each one representing different feelings, memories, and spiritual experiences.

And the calm night surrounding the figure is a deliberate choice. Nighttime feels like the perfect metaphor for inner exploration: quiet, peaceful, and a little mysterious. It’s in these moments of stillness that we can hear our true selves.

INTRA isn’t just something to look at, it’s something to feel, I wanted to create a visual meditation on the many layers inside each of us.
