Dialogue

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

"Introspective, Explorative, Comprehensible."

➩ Could you outline your usual creative process?

"My creative journey has changed several times over the years depending on the exploration I was focused on at that time – from canvases, to sculptures, and then to their digitalization. Currently, I am always in search of new technological tools to maintain my narrative but to explore new filters of viewing reality."

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

"I'm not usually one to give advice in general, and even more so I refrain from doing so in such a delicate position as that of an artist who is approaching this world for the first time. I believe that the true work of art is managing to emerge within this chaos; that indeed is a true masterpiece, and everyone can achieve it only by following their own instinct and personality."

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

"I am always projected almost exclusively on the medium to long term. Evolving my art at an exploratory level and growing exponentially in terms of market positioning, managing to bring increasingly more value for my collectors."

➩ Who has been your greatest artistic influence or inspiration?

"Certainly, I am immediately influenced by all the conceptual art of the early 1900s as well as the street art from the 1990s onwards, which has created with me a blend of bringing comprehensible pop iconographies through a minimalist composition and material research."

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

"Living in peace and in nature."

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

"I would ask my friend Skygolpe what the price of BTC is, since at the moment it seems to be the only thing that matters even for our apparently artistic digital world."
