Prisoner of your mind
We often confine ourselves to our world perception, becoming prisoners of our thoughts, fears, and limiting beliefs.
Our minds construct bars that prevent us from exploring possibilities and embracing change. Insecurities, past experiences, and societal expectations reinforce this mental prison. We seek validation, fear failure, and live within the confines of negative thinking and self-doubt.
Our world shrinks, missing out on growth and fulfilment. To break free, we need courage and self-awareness to challenge our beliefs. By confronting fears and replacing negative narratives with empowering ones, we dismantle the walls through self-reflection, mindfulness, and personal growth. Venturing beyond our comfort zone reveals untapped potential and endless opportunities. The past does not define us; we can transform and align our lives with our desires. Let's shed the chains, break free, and embrace the freedom of exploration, self-discovery, purpose, and authenticity.
“Hi all! my name is Valery. I started doing computer graphics in 2006. My first works are fantasy worlds in the Terragen and Bryce programs. If you look at these works now, they will cause nothing but a smile.
And yet this is my creation story. Next was an acquaintance with the beautiful Cinema 4D. So I gave movement to my creations. It was amazing!
In 2021, like many others, I joined the NFT world, which gave me a lot of new sensations in terms of creativity and new acquaintances with artists. I have done many collaborations with artists from different countries. These collaborations have given me a lot of new experiences.
At the same time, I began to add music to my animation work, which I made with the help of artificial intelligence.
Now my art was in musical movement! And it was a new stage of my development. Somewhere in the fall of 2021, I got acquainted with AI art. Then it was a simple program VQGAN. But the result was amazing!
Since then, I have constantly been developing in this art direction, using the outdated Disco Diffusion and the modern Stable Diffusion and Midjourney.
And I’m not going to stop! The journey is just beginning!”
How does AI influence your way of doing work now?
In almost every work, I use AI in both the graphic and musical components.
As a creative person, do you ever have those moments where you feel like everything you create is just shit?
When I create, I constantly ask myself, "Am I doing shit?" It helps a lot to evaluate my creative work critically.
Is it necessary to you to be a part of a creative community of people?
Being isolated, "boiling in own juice", it is challenging to develop skills.
Being part of the community is very important! It helps you grow and get better.

What made you pursue NFT art as a medium?

What would it be if you could go back and do one thing differently?
I would not like to change anything in my life path
