What is art? Who is an artist? Who gets to decide? In today's world of cryptocurrencies and NFTs - you get to decide with the decentralized democratic spending of your crypto.
In my philosophy, art is a concept. If you can bring that concept to fruition then you are achieving what you set yourself up to do: create art. Hence you are an artist. How you achieve the concept or your vision is up to you, the artist.
Writers and poets use words. Visual artists use light (photographers, painters, etc. since color comes from light). Sound artists use sounds, music is the most common one but there is so much more to sound art. NFTs are opening the world to virtual artists that were once only grouped into Graphic Design, animation, etc, and thought of "technical" and not "artistic".
I am very much against that thought process of artists having to fit in a certain mold. There are so many great artists that were not given the traditional tools to create their creations. AI has come to help those artists realize their potential and the NFT markets are here to showcase them and give those artists the validity they deserve. This my friends is a new era that the art world might not have been ready for but it has to embrace it or die.
My art is a commentary and pushes back to the closed world of the establishment art world that has for so long put their noses up to the "others". Well, here we go: NFTs and crypto have come to let them know that they can no longer gate-keep us. We will see new forms of artists come out and lose others that cannot adapt (which is sad). Even though I am doing this as a commentary to what can be called traditional art, I believe in the power of emotions and that my works bring them out. This is what art is to me, the bringing out of an emotional response to a sense, be it visual, auditory, or any other sense you might choose to engage as a viewer and as an artist.
