Can you share a bit about your journey as an artist? How did you get into creating digital art, and what inspires your work?

Ever since I was a kid, I've loved to draw. It was always different monsters or different strange scenes. I was always drawing in my notebooks and everywhere else I could, even though I didn't think it could be art. Later, when I was a teenager, I started graffiti, and all the walls became my canvas. And a little later I became interested in the world of art and thought I could do it, and started to study information about it, so I came across nft and now almost 3 years I'm in web-3:)

In my style I've gone quite a long and winding way, I experimented a lot and constantly changed my style. But in the end I was always driven by the desire to go beyond. To do something that has not been done before, I created a lot of different and strange things, but now as I think I have somewhat defined my style. On the question of what inspires me, I don't think it's anything in particular, it's more my inner energy and thoughts transformed into visual images. I love it when after a while you turn a blank canvas into something that wasn't there before.

What was your experience like collaborating with Miggles? How did this project challenge or inspire you creatively?

That's great. I created one art that happened to be spotted by Tyler, he suggested I create a couple art, and that's how it all started :D There was a period where I was making quite a lot of art in a small amount of time for me, and it definitely increased my skill even more, in creating art and finding ideas. The spirit, energy and vision of the Miggles community is an irrepressible creative energy that can't help but touch you!

Where do you see Web3 art going in the future, and how do you hope to be part of that evolution?

I truly believe in mass adoption of web-3 art, but I don't know when. We as a community have already had our ups and downs, but it has happened quite locally within the entire crypto community I believe. Eventually when everyone accepts cryptocurrency, web 3 art will become part of it.

And if cryptocurrency is a whole culture, then art in it as a mouthpiece of that culture. It's also a place where new ideas, no matter how strange they may seem, can find fertile ground. In my opinion, this could really become one of the areas that the whole world will be discussing, if we as a community manage to create some really amazing things.

I like the idea that every day I get deeper and deeper into the blockchain and leave my digital footprint on the blockchain, turning it into a story that will be interesting to explore for new people who will join the community in the future. And also of course I want more and more people to just enjoy and understand my art and at the same time I want to make it better.
