Dialogue

➩How would you describe your art using just three words?

"Ironic, provocative, and subliminal."

➩Could you outline your usual creative process?

"My creative process lacks a formal foundation; I rely on trial and error, acting on impulses, allowing things to unfold without artistic haste. I am currently using different AI tools for creating my pieces."

➩What key advice would you give to someone starting in crypto art?

"It's still a new and ever-evolving world that we're learning to navigate. I recommend proceeding calmly and staying informed about trends in the crypto world."

➩What are your plans for the short, medium, and long term?

"In the short term, I'll continue creating because it's ultimately an intimate cathartic process. In the medium and long term, I'll remain open to opportunities, be it sales or exhibitions, always considering them as outcomes of the work. I would also like to have the ability to adapt to new forms of creating art while staying true to my style but being open to embracing new tools."

➩Who has been your greatest artistic influence or inspiration?

"Any image or experience, from the simplest to the most lasting, serves as inspiration. I particularly enjoy kinetic, urban, and pop art, as well as using photography and fashion as canvases to express ideas."

➩As an individual, what is your most profound aspiration?

"My minimum aspiration is mental and physical well-being, along with a daily renewal of the enthusiasm to explore and become better in every aspect of life."

Artist Asks Artist!

➩If you could ask one question to a specific artist on SuperRare, who would it be and what would you ask?

"I'd like to know about 69420digits' creative process and I would ask what ends up being more important when finishing a piece, the aesthetics, or the message."

Epilogue

Khan's journey is a reminder that in art, as in life, the only constant is change—and the only limit is our own imagination.
