Nine artists, nine different approaches to digital art. This original NFT Weekly feature captures a moment in the early NFT art movement, bringing together artists who were creating, experimenting and finding their place in a rapidly changing digital world. Artist: Sam Spratt X Profile: @SamSpratt Artwork: Infinity Ceremony Sam Spratt has created a striking scene. Two primal figures, reminiscent of our ape ancestors, engage in a gentle exchange inside a cave. The male offers the female figure something that appears to be of great value, possibly water or food, inside a skull. The earthy tones surrounding this scene bring a sense of ancient intimacy, making us feel as though we are looking back at the very roots of human connection. The natural hues and cave-like setting transport us to a time before civilization, when survival and companionship were vital. Spratt's skill lies in his ability to show both the harshness of existence and the warmth of sentient interaction. He invites u...

Nine artists, nine different visions of digital art. This original NFT Weekly feature captures a moment when artists were exploring new ways to create, share and collect art online. Artist: Arya Bima X Profile:  @rearyabaim Artwork: Present This quirky piece, by Arya, has a fantastical quality to it like a more classical version of the Surrealist Salvador Dali. The details are delicate and beautiful, the brains in a covered dish and the little yellow butterfly, for example, have a natural history element to them, which is both whimsical and interesting. This is a very seamless work and the muted tones and creative imagery make it a wonderful artwork to view.   Artist: Oveck  X Profile:  @oveck Artwork: Balance Oveck's piece is such a beautiful work, with such a lovely colour palette. The central figure appears to be melting or succumbing to the power emanating from the omnipotent hand from above.  The two figures behind have an alie...
