About the Artist: I’m İpek, a photographer from Turkey. I was born and raised in İstanbul but based in Eskişehir now. I used to work for several companies for 10 years, then I quit the job and started a new life. I’ve been selling photographs all over the world ever since. When I heard about crypto art, I decided to improve my skills beyond photography and began learning digital art. I’m making collages and mixed media artwork using my own photos. And here I am. “Silky Way Art” is my brand name which I’m using for my NFT art. It comes from my name İpek, which means “Silk” in English. It’s a combination of the “Silkroad” and “Milky Way”. Creating new pieces of art and sharing them with the world excites me a lot. I think it’s a big opportunity for me to prove and express myself through art.

About the Artist: Self taught artist from Turkey who also works as a lawyer. Exploring both digital and traditional mediums for artistic expression.
Layers to it
From the Artist: The artwork is a method of coping with unwanted emotions via humor, absurd, imperfection. It is a token of reconciling, processing and preserving, it is a note to self – an encapsulation of a certain time, place and people in my life as a creator of the given piece, yet something a viewer can and is encouraged to relate with and reflect on in their own way, with their own memories and experiences.
About the Artist: I am an artist with architectural background and a self-taught tattoo artist. Born in Kyiv, Ukraine, after graduating I spent a significant amount of time away from home studying, working, volunteering and solo traveling – gaining experiences that had a huge influence on my identity, way of thinking, and consequently my art. Art is largely a coping mechanism and a self-therapy for me. In my works I like to condense serious topics and issues into short, simple phrases and corresponding minimal illustrations. My art is a cry for common sense and adequacy, which, quite counter-intuitively, often calls for confusing and chaotic forms – normally mundane, ordinary items, phenomenon and appearances distorted through the lens of humor, stoicism, silliness, sarcasm.
Rigor Mortis
From the Artist: Rigor mortis or postmortem rigidity is the third stage of death. Like our bodies have different stages of death, so is with our soul. But our soul does not die; it will continue existing in more primitive forms. The death of the soul is when it is kept caught in desires and the Creator itself looks upon it and fells sadness.
About the Artist: Looking like an artist, not an artist, just a boy who’s trying to dissociate from the world by engaging in it.
This is all of us
From the Artist: As we know, we have many expressions in our life. Sometimes we are happy we are sad we are excited to exercise and it is all part of who we are. What will shape us into what kind of human we are in the end.
About the Artist: Asianjunkies is a 3D Artist. He has been practicing 3D since 2018. The majority of his work has been in brand advertisement, creating abstract and surrealism environments for auction and exhibition.
