Freak Monsters

Edition 1 of 1

I started a challenge for myself and drew 4 freak monsters every day for 100 days. This is the final stage of the “feak monsters” collection. Is it being a freak a fault? Or is it a gift? I’m tired of the mediocrity of people. I’m tired of anatomy. I’m tired of patterns. That’s why I created freak monsters. I don’t have to draw two eyes, a nose, a mouth when creating a monster. I am completely free to create. That’s why freak monsters are my beauty standard. I’m unlimited when drawing monsters. It’s a freedom for me. 7000px-10000px 300 DPI

SMOOCHIES

Artist & Creator of Smoochies

The more the likes, the less you are…

Edition 1 of 1

Throughout the last decade, digital artists (like myself) used several platforms to pave their way into the realm of Art. But after a multitude of rejection from art curators and galleries, we’ve turn our hope into a foreseeable success in Art through the mechanic of “likes”. However the ideology behind gathering the likes of strangers online made us believe that we’ve finally being valued for our art. But in the end we’ve actually turned into someone we can barely recognized. Few are the ones that can balance both the integrity and notoriety. For some, the “likes” has covered the essence of why we’ve actually started all of this in the first place. “The more the likes, the less you are…(you)”

FORESTA

Edition 1 of 1

FORESTA is my genesis NFT piece. FORESTA was born from the need to confront myself with the world of art in motion, the environment of this work was not recreated in computer graphics but was made with recycled materials and filmed with a drone on a green screen and then mounted digitally. For the first time in my work the human figure has been included. A sort of Adam discovering the new digital world.

VOLKER HERMES

In 2019 when international hype materialized around Hidden Portraits, Hermes had been creating the collection for over 10 years. Their visual content, figures disappearing behind masks, perfectly and almost clairvoyantly directly reflect the current era. Today, Hermes art has been featured in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, collaborations with Christie’s, and museum invitations to create works from pieces in their collections.

Hidden Batoni I.1

Edition 1 of 1

Lubomirska, painted in 1780 by Pompeo Batoni in Rome. To gain a classical education, one of the most important travel destinations for aristocrats of the 18th century, was Italy. They came to experience the highly appreciated painting of the Italian Renaissance. The desire to be photographed during one’s travels existed even before the invention of photography. The painter Pomepo Batoni recognized this desire and offered portrait paintings to travelers, who could then pick them up upon their return trip. He is considered the inventor of the tourist portrait. This sitter purchased just such a portrait on her trip through Italy, and also had several copies made to pass on. She had herself depicted as Polyhymnia, the Greek muse of sacred poetry, music, and dance – note the scroll of sheet music. My modification picks up the vibrancy of the music. To emphasize the connection between head and body, her hair ribbon now extends over the entire architecture of her highly fashionable wig and ends at her chest. This display was only allowed at the time because she had herself depicted by the painter as a mythological figure. This portrait so beautifully combines a certain coquetry along with the personal statement that the young lady has been on a classical educational journey.

JAHAN

Wildstyle Eastern Star

Edition 1 of 1

Credited as the originator of Chinese wildstyle, Jahan veered from writing in English to crafting his wildstyle in Mandarin in 2002. Jahan does not know if he started Chinese wildstyle but he is now associated with that look. This artwork features Jahan’s Chinese name (羅傑瀚）in his inimitable style. For two years Jahan laboured to translate his wildstyle into a 3D sculpture; his name buried in the complexity of the strokes.
