A young digital artist from St. Petersburg, with whom we talked about his projects, opinions and future projects.
Dmitry, to be honest, I found you on Behance. After reviewing your NFTs work, I traced the pattern of such topics as: loneliness and sura, which occurs in real life.
How did you come to such topics and decided to take this as a basis ?
DL: I didn’t come to something like this on purpose. To be honest, I think that if you use such topics on purpose, it will be felt, insincerity will be felt.
All that can be observed in my works is the sublimation of my own experiences, emotions, the universe, how I reflect on our reality.
I don’t have a goal or direction that I only do this kind of creativity and I only want to show something like that. These are just periods of my life that I capture in this way.
If you look at your NFT works: donor, Keepers of dreams, CRYPTO FEVER – this is something unique, the bodies seem to be embalmed. What meaning did you put into these images – according to the classics, this question should remain food for thought for the audience, but what are your personal feelings, thoughts when you as a viewer see the works?
DL: I can’t tell you exactly what I wanted to show with such images, because often my works are created by a creative inner impulse, and ephemeral visual representations in my head. This is a creative flow of ideas, which is accompanied by some previews in the head and in the process it transforms into something else. I mean, it may be totally different from how I imagined the finish in my head, or it may actually be a copy of what I imagined.
What I wanted to say with these works: I don’t want to ruin the magic of the viewer, I want everyone to see in this work responds personally in each of them.
I can say about the donor.
An artist creating a work of art aimed not at commerce, but at creative inner realization, touches his inner deep areas and he spends part of himself on it.
If this is a creative sublimation of the emotions of an idea that touches the artist, there it is to a greater extent.
What do you think about people’s obsession with a “new kind of art”, the metaverse and the virtual world in general?
DL: There’s no point in resisting progress. If something is gaining momentum and people see in it something or a company that is valuable, beautiful and promising, you should not try to resist it, it is better to understand it, to understand it. If you prevent it, then you are an idiot.
Which artists/studios do you want to collaborate with?
DL: With Sintezia, their visual is amazing.
Now I’m working on getting a joint job with Husky singers, Black Cumin oil singers.
Clothing brands attract me, but I am open to any areas for cooperation.
Your art for peace project is very useful at the moment.
Tell a little bit about it.
DL: it was made in support of peace, peace not as the globalization of our planet, but in terms of interpersonal relations, which have been very shaken. And the message was as direct as possible – people should be friends.
