What’s more important: technique or message?
Each person has their own technique and their own perception of technique. This has been proven by hundreds of famous artists, who have shattered technical stereotypes. Academic perception of [technique] creates redundant frameworks. Therefore, I believe that the emotional message of the art is the core.
What’s your favorite medium to work in?
Now, since I’m all into digital art, I use the pen and the nib a lot. I like strict, straight lines. Earlier, I worked with acrylic, ink, oil, charcoal and pastel. In general, I have tried all the classic [media]. I love ink graphics mixed with 2D, interspersed with bright colors. I am delighted [by] oil, but it is harmful to work with; I developed an allergy and had to stop using it.
What inspires you artistically, in general?
I am inspired by wildlife and its colors. I often get inspiration from local traditional ornaments and outfits from different countries.
I want to show that the world is much deeper and brighter than it sometimes seems, and [that] sometimes people need to look at the world from a different angle. There is something beautiful about almost everything.
Who is your audience?
My audience is free-thinking people who do not live within the framework, people with a sense of humor [as well as] people open to new, bright and cheerful [ideas].
“My audience is free-thinking people who do not live within the framework.”
What are your favorite artistic movements, throughout time?
Cubism, surrealism and abstraction.
What attracted you to the NFT space?
