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.
