21/04/2022 Anna Levytska / Avlevytska NFT Artist Interview

Anna Levytska, artist working in high-contrast black and white. Dark, surreal visions are created mostly with ink on paper but also sometimes in digital techniques.

Where are you from?

I am from Ukraine, ancient and mystical city Kyiv. Currently live in Netherlands because of war.

Can you tell us about your background and what lead you down the path to becoming an artist and ultimately experimenting with NFTs?

As an artist, I usually made illustrations for books, for music bands. Participated in art fairs and exhibitions, selling original physical artworks and prints. I am always interested in new possibilities and experimenting with mediums. When I first heard about NFTs in 2021 it was really exciting as an experiment, new way for art and the artists to grow in digital. When I started, I discovered the magic of new technologies, that confidence it brings and the super supportive community. I even started Dark Art NFT community, looking for like minded people and being encouraged by ultimate support to support artists too. It was really great to be inspired, to inspire to create virtual events like exhibitions for dozens of artists. I plan to continue working on my art both in digital and traditional ways as well as growing community.

When did you mint your first NFT? What platform did you choose and why?

I minted my first NFT on Rarible in March 2021. I knew a little about NFTs – it was easy to register there and to try. Best learning is to try

CryptoPunk #3011
The CryptoPunks are 10,000 uniquely generated characters. No two are exactly alike, and each one of them can be officially owned by a single person on the Ethereum blockchain. Originally, they could be claimed for free by anybody with an Ethereum wallet, but all 10,000 were quickly claimed. Now they must be purchased from someone via the marketplace that's also embedded in the blockchain.
The Scion
A young figure caught in a moment of distraction, aware only ephemerally of his unconscious being, as it engages in psychological and psychedelic layer spaces. His right arm casually cradles a moray eel; the figure is comfortable but not truly aware of the potentials for danger in such negligence. His shirt reads “Bello” in Pokemon style font, harkening back to a childhood straddling the millennial threshold. To his right side, out of the unconscious deep, shrouded alien heads propagate as a fractal totem, each new iteration a more sophisticated rendering of emotional masking over the cold mystery of the greys. As the scion of the Budgie-Sattva, the young man, in his distraction, is also simultaneously aware of higher levels of self discovery. To his left a psychological topology sets beneath the oracle side of an 8 ball ,hovering; its message a purest concept of acceptance. The “Scion” lettering is in 80’s HeMan style bold declaration. The lower right side of the painting is like a hybrid of melon, feathers, and seeds. The crystals in the background bring light; conducted, refracted, reflected, and dispersed, to balance the dark shadow of the figure’s physical body. The aura of the scion succeeds in layers to point, with a finger, and the crown chakra, toward a center of a mandala existing as nigh pure application of strokes, in essence painterly abstraction, but also revealing hints of the Aura of migraine, and the bi-hemispherical nature of the brain–noting concerns of the possibility of inherited mental disease. Yet the flourish of chakra as it sets against that center is robust, active, coherent, and reveling against all fear. Fundamentally, the piece speaks to the activation of one’s potential to begin to “Know Thyself”, and find greater awareness out of the enigmas of the mind–as an inculcated seed given to the rich soil of one’s own birthright.
