This photograph had a huge impact on me during the difficult time in lockdown of the pandemic. Photography and family helped me save my mental health. It was at the height of the crisis that photography became the new manifestation of family love for me, and it is for this reason that I chose to call this piece “HOPE”. This photograph presents my sister as the model, and my mother’s contribution as the stylist; it is a true artwork created out of family love. “HOPE”, the internationally recognized photograph in my body of work. This piece made various appearances in magazines including Vogue and The Guardian, as well as being showcased in the Photo Vogue Festival of 2021 in Milano.

“To Anyone, I have been locked away in my prison for longer than I care to admit. Not because of some outside force keeping me in, but because I never cared to leave it in the first place. The world and all who inhabit it have left me feeling nauseous, anxious, and riddled with fear. I had never even considered my loved ones worth fighting for, worth seeing, and I knew that it was killing me. Little by little, slowly every day. My time here was running out. When I awoke this morning something hit me. This feeling… that this is my last day. I knew that I had to try and say goodbye before I vanished for good. I owed them that much. I owed them an explanation as to why their love for me meant nothing. I was finally ready to face the judgement of living, but I never got the chance. I stepped outside into a world that had also given up. The sky had lost it’s hue. The sun escaped. What little love was left in this world had vanished, and the only thing that filled my lungs was dread. I couldn’t help but breath it all in. A force that was threatening our very existence loomed on the horizon. A force that I was familiar with. I knew all to well what this energy was, and what little I could do to stop it. It seemed that the world now felt what I felt, and any dream of finding peace was no longer an option. I betrayed my life and in turn all life betrayed me. I know that it’s too late for me to change the course of my existence, but if you’re reading this it’s not too late for you. Don’t let this energy consume us all, don’t let us vanish into darkness. If your chest feels heavy be sure to open your heart, or else you’ll end up like me. Best of luck, The Heartless”

BLOOM I To art is to trust yourself. To art is to open yourself up to the world so much that your story flows freely, without any bounds. To art is to allow yourself to just be. To art is to bloom. This the first chapter from the BLOOM series. BLOOM is an animation of a continuous story about my creativity and captures the state of imagination that I find myself whenever I’m creating.

„There are not many persons who know what wonders are opened to them in the stories and visions of their youth; for when as children we listen and dream, we think but half-formed thoughts, and when as men we try to remember, we are dulled and prosaic with the poison of life.“ — H.P. Lovecraft, Celephaïs. Music by Omphalophobic. Animation by MC.

The thought that everyone you once spent hours talking to and growing up with just slowly drifting into their new life. Molding into the people they always wanted to be. I wanted this for them because I always wanted that for myself, but with this understanding comes with a lump in the back of my throat. We would become strangers and the thought of them forgetting about me hurt me. It made me question my life choices and the path that I am on. I was getting in touch with reality and realizing we are just experiencing one another for a limited amount of time. Good things don’t last forever but the memory does. Driving past this location on the way to a family diner grabbed my eye because it embodies all of those things. A place thats still intact, forgotten, and hanging on while being reclaimed by nature. I set up my shot and noticed that the light was too bright taking away the attention from everything important. I blocked the light out with a birdhouse and was taken back by the tree overlooking the whole scene. Everyone grew up and moved on from this place .

When I travel I always ask for a window seat, here’s why… this image! Not every time I get so lucky but most times I do and then moments like this happen. I took this image on a trip to Ecuador I did on December 2021 on my way from Cuenca to Quito. It was the perfect conditions for me to see the active stratovolcano volcano and lucky for me I had the 3 seats all for me which allowed me to move around and frame the shot as I wanted. I shot this with my G Master 70-200mm lens on the Sony alpha A1 Focal length: 148mm | F stop: 2.8 | Exposure time: 1/500

I’m inspired by the surrealist movement. The way the objects are rendered as they were barely even there, the depth of feel (and field), not to mention the colors? Come on man, Surrealism is fireeee. This is a self portrait, an expressionist work representing me and a figurative embodiment of my imagination. This also happens to be my first mint on SuperRare, which I’m clearly very excited about. I wanted to start of strong, with a BANG, and I think I really brought it on this one. Owner of this NFT has the option to receive the original, which is on 8.5×11 inch paper.

This is a continuation of my ongoing series of paintings where my brother and I travel the world and I make paintings out of our travels. My brother Andre was born in Seattle and I lived there from 4-18yrs old. We did most of our growing and figuring out life here. The Space Needle was a centerpiece location where lots of festivals and positive vibes were centered around its location. We returned to its location to capture this moment in time and share it with you.

As a scuba diver and general lover of the ocean, I am completely fascinated by the uninterrupted world underwater. I love how fish swim in schools and hide from predators; how coral attracts algae to eat and how sea creatures build homes on the undersides of rocks. I love going diving at night and watching fish rest while other fish hunt. I love establishing perfect buoyancy and just watching it all happen. I created this piece as a recollection of those experiences, combined with representation of our own world to demonstrate how similar they are, yet how vastly different they seem. The title ‘Parallel Ecosystems’ reifies how we’re all quite similar.

Valkyria is the first chapter of ‘Tales of Mythius’ the collection of tales written and illustrated by @tormius in which he will make us travel to a fantastic world full of creatures and stories. Welcome to Mythius. _ Valkyria ruled the skies of Mythius since the beginning of the ancient era. Her shuddering scream chilled the blood of those who dared to listen it. The Mythians told many stories about her history, but none knew the truth. She was called the wandering goddess, wandering aimlessly and without any goal for those who watched her, but in reality, she has never ceased in the search for her only daughter, who one day decided to live among mortals. In her sad and tireless search, the flame of the goddess of fire was extinguished, and since then, the volcanoes of Mythius have never again expelled lava. But the fury remained latent in her gaze. She knows there is someone behind her daughter’s decision, and she will not rest until finding that person. _ The original collector of the piece will be able to claim physical perks that will be sent free of charge to their home address.

RIFT is a digital animation created in 2021 using a moiré patterning technique, consisting in the overlap of two images to generate the illusion of a third image. In my practice, this imaging technique is employed to create abstract textural works inspired by atmospheric, geological and natural forces. In RIFT, images of landslides, tectonic plate movements and 3D normal maps were used as visual references for the final work. The resulting animation appears on screen as an endless hypnotic surface with strong kinetic and optical properties – similar to an all-over painting – generating tensions and oscillations in the perception of depth and flatness within the screen. At large, RIFT relates to many histories of abstraction in painting, optical art, moving image and computer graphics. Geological forces become mediated through a language of digital abstraction, creating an experience reminiscent of both the natural and the digital.

“Rhyolite” is the second piece of Johan Lolos’ genesis NFT series “Hálendið”. Hálendið, which means “Highlands” in Icelandic, is a photography series of 5 pieces that are a tribute to the painting-like landscapes of the Icelandic Highlands. Ever since Johan first visited this part of the world he has been amazed by the huge diversity of colors that can be found in the Highlands. The unparalleled contrasts and shapes of the Hálendið make this region of Iceland so unique in the whole world, to the point it becomes almost surreal to any visitor. This particular piece is an aerial image of Landmannalaugar, shot from a Cessna aircraft. While the dominant color of this photo clearly is brown/orange, one can observe the patches of light green spread across the image. This is due to the high amount of rhyolite, which the mountains of this area are made of. Rhyolite is an extrusive igneous rock, formed from magma rich in silica that is extruded from a volcanic vent to cool quickly on the surface rather than slowly in the subsurface. Most rhyolites are uniform in texture, and their color ranges from gray to light-pink, depending on the striations made by the lava flow. Natural rhyolite displays green, cream and occasional brown tones with patterns and inclusions. The very first time Johan went to Landmannalaugar, he just couldn’t believe his eyes. Was it real? Was it a dream? Why did those mountains look like paintings? His obsession with the Icelandic Highlands never stopped, to the point that they became his favorite landscapes to photograph. ** The collector will receive a gallery quality, signed and framed physical print of the image alongside the NFT. The print will be delivered with a certificate of authenticity. 5568x3712px

I didn’t allow you here, pure O. I shouldn’t be about to pass out right now in this college class, but I am sinking in my chair like it was 10 feet deep. You already came around this morning, pure O. Sometimes I wonder how boring it must be for you without me. Maybe this is why you’ve been showing more and more daily. I won’t be able to continue like this much longer. What can I do to make you go away, pure O? C17H18F3NO

“The Banquet” (2014). “I remember imagining a lavish and orderly banquet that was suddenly invaded by an uncontrollable and powerful force. I symbolized that strength in the voracity of the dogs chasing a goose that struggles to survive but at the same time there is a kind of harmonious “dance” between the characters. That uncontrolled force had an intrinsic beauty worth highlighting.” Guillermo Lorca.

It is a tribute to a summer morning, at 6:05 am, to be more precise. It is my initial connection to a day to be discovered. Energies are recharged, the mood is calm, and problems seem to have been solved. The sun is at its best to be observed and almost touched. The luggage is ready, and this morning’s air inspires me to write a new page in my life. Created in July 2018, by Ezequiel Pini. “This work is part of the #Dart2121 exhibition.

“The Theatre” is part of Billy Dinh’s series “The Last Ones” from Chicago, Illinois. USA. It features the Chicago Theatre during the sunset of Winter 2019. — The Last Ones is a photography series showcasing the emptiness and scale of normally populated areas across urban parts of the world. Each photo takes advantage of these lonely moments as the individuals wander the deserted almost post-apocalyptic dystopian-like version of each place. There’s a certain eeriness and mystery to each image with how the figures are within their environments. It’s as if they are one of the last ones left.

Reflecting the social media influencers of today, MIRRORS turns the spotlight on a cast of history’s A-list emperors, conquistadors and beloved leaders, starring in self-indulgent infamy as they smile and exhibit their lavish wealth, costumes, and ego. Their historic exploits immortalized them, yet they all shine in the common light of narcissism. Narcissism is the spell that binds them, forever fueling their lust for glory.

Rough around the edges but the definition of beauty, she is loyal and always there for him when he needs her most. Decades-old, she has lived a long life, and yet, somehow, she still
has so much to give. They make each other feel young again, instilling a new breath of life and love into one another’s hearts. And though she might not be perfect, she’s his.

SENJA is part of Marco Grassi’s genesis NFT collection “Alive”. The idea behind this series is to create a unique, boundless experience within each photo. The recurring elements – the human figure and the natural landscape – are two distinct parts that blend together creating an intertwining of subject and object, of author and his audience. A shared emotional space where the boundaries between different roles – the individual and nature, reality and representation of reality – dissipate to create an experience, which is as authentic for the creator it is for the viewer. The tiny unidentified person in contrast with the powerful, immense landscape is the element that transports you into the picture and makes you part of it: suddenly, you identify with the human figure and feel as if you were there, connected with the elements ready to experience an unrepeatable moment in time. If you close your eyes long enough, the experience becomes palpable, real. Even before a collector decides to purchase the right to a piece, he is already present in Marco’s imagination, he is already immersed in the experience without knowing it. In this sense this collection is a journey back, it is the discovery that man and nature, author and viewer are, and have been, the same thing, all along. In the case of this specific picture, you have just reached the top of a steep mountain in Norway. The sun has started to rise and you are catching the very first rays of a new day. As you are standing there, the only thing you can hear is silence. You feel the rough, rocky ground under your feet and the fresh air on your face. In front of you, the world. When a piece is collected, this virtual experience evolves into a real-life experience: the collector is given the opportunity to join Marco to the destination pictured in the image. These are unique, tailor-made experiences that transform a metaphoric journey back to the union with the elements, in real one that can be felt, smelled, heard and discovered. Details of this experience will be discussed between the artist and the collector after purchase.

Inspired by a dusky night in NY. Amour touches on the power of vulnerability, in this 24Hr connectivity and our human interactions. Exploring the relationship between colors, and how they create an atmosphere within our soul.

I named Salvador Dali and René Magritte as my parents. My white dove, a symbol of the soul in flight, where the idea is free and not confined in my body like a bird in a cage. And the style of magical realism from my Magritte, flows seamlessly into the deep dream of surrealism, where the white birds will never return.
