Entangled Echoes
Two identical girls are intertwined within a mesmerising web of all-white threads. The cobwebs delicately entwine their forms, creating a captivating visual of interconnectedness and mystery. Through the power of reflection, this evocative image invites contemplation on the profound complexities of our intertwined lives and the intricate webs we weave, both within ourselves and in our relationships with others.
“I am a nude photographer, visual artist, and AI artist.
Most of my work is dark and artistic. I like to explore new things and experiment without stopping at any particular level.”
What was your path to doing what you’re doing now?
It all started when I moved to another country. There were difficulties with creating photos, lack of time, opportunities, and fear of rejection. But I wanted to create something new, and that's how I entered AI.
Did you have an “Aha!” moment when you knew that working with AI was what you wanted to do?
Yes, definitely! There was even a moment when the result was better than I expected.
How does AI influence your way of doing work now?
AI is a great tool! I create something new as a final product, and in parallel, I can create something that can serve as a reference for my other photos.
Do you collaborate with other artists?
I haven't had any collaborations with AI yet. So far, I've collaborated with several artists who were models in my photos.
As a creative person, do you ever have those moments where you feel like everything you create is just shit?
I seem to live with that feeling! ALWAYS lol.
Is it necessary to you to be a part of a creative community of people?
Definitely! One head is good, but ten heads are better.
Have you taken any significant risks to move forward?
I think so. At the very least, it could be financial risks or a waste of time. Each of us risks something in one situation or another. But you can get a huge payoff if you don't stop.
What made you pursue NFT art as a medium?
I always dreamed of selling my photos or physical paintings to hang on the walls of houses/apartments. So when I learned about digital selling, I realised it was exactly what I dreamed of and decided to try it.
What advice would you give to someone starting in AI art and NFT?
Don't chase money!
To explore, to learn, to have new experiences, to expand the boundaries of your mind!
These are great opportunities!
What would it be if you could go back and do one thing differently?
If I went back to the beginning? I would probably take my time. And I would try to do things more purposely. I would stick to a certain strategy.
