NFT Weekly

Before the NFT world had fully taken shape, artists were already exploring what digital ownership could mean for their work. Here are nine artists who were part of that early conversation. Artist: Rodine Lee X Profile:  @Rodrine_Lee Artwork: Untitled Rodine's artwork is gritty and cool in a way that reminds the viewer of street artists such as Fin DAC and Tristan Eaton.  The female figure is exotic and beautiful, her tattoos and casual cigarette give her plenty  of hipster appeal. Her serpentine eyes and kabuki mask convey a theatrical narrative making the piece both compelling and glamorous. The muted tones add to the contemporary feel, giving an overall impression that this young woman is too cool for school.  Artist: Marleen X Profile:  @StudioIrida Artwork: Looking for My Heart in the Wrong Places This stunning piece draws the viewer in with the beautifully evocative expression on the subjects face. Her iconic pout, which is a trademark feature in all of Mar...

There is such grace and beauty in Laini's work, with the serene figures, their bodies communing with elements of nature. The viewer is transported into a sacred place where the artist seems to caress the boundaries between femininity and divinity. She captures something mystical with her chalk sketches, and cocoons the female body in vine, tendril and leaf.  This seems to be a conversation of essence, the oneness of creation depicted in both human and plant form. Blossoms and soft thighs, hair and stars, flesh and fern frond seem to kiss one another in a gentle and spiritual way. Laini's art is both a lesson in the artists skill, and a conversation with the viewer, that is both captivating and metaphysical. The animated aspect of these pieces add another, beautiful, facet to the artworks, and it is in this way that digital art can offer something new and exciting to the traditional artworld.  What medium do you enjoy working in the most?  I like expres...

This NFT Weekly feature brings together nine artists working across different styles and ideas. Looking back, it offers a small window into the creativity and experimentation of the early NFT art movement. Artist: Anna-Maria X Profile:  @Anna_Maria Artwork: Untitiled Anna-Maria's work has a subtle luminous quality to it, as if the small star above the figures head radiates warmth. The decorative element, around her neck, has a surreal beauty to it, incorporating flowers with eyeballs and tongues, even a cigarette. This piece is playful and unique, creating a joyful experience for the viewer. It is reminiscent of Tamara De Lempicka's work with the sensual, glowing female figure and the stylised elegance of the clothing and jewelry.   Artist: Rensi Ardinta X Profile:  @rensiardinta Artwork: The Abyss There is something excitingly unique about Rensi's pieces, with their unusual colour palette which is both vibrant and restrained. In this piece the figure ...

Nine artists, different styles, and a shared interest in the possibilities of digital art. Originally published by NFT Weekly, this feature preserves a moment from the rapidly changing NFT landscape. Artist: Sasha Katz X Profile:  @wonderkatzi Artwork: Karabasan This piece is so elegant with its minimal colour palette and it's graceful lines. The figure is satisfyingly curvaceous while the cat melts into the black background leaving seemingly negative space where it sits on the figures shoulders. Sasha has managed to create a tactile reaction to her work as the viewer responds to the soft void cat held by those spectacular hands. The woman's skin seems smooth and alive against the dense blackness she inhabits. The drama this artwork creates, with such simplicity, is masterful. The name Karabasan (nightmare in Turkish) sums up the unnerving beauty in this image.  Artist: Thomas Hast  X Profile:  @Meta_projects Artwork: Untitled The abstract nature of this ar...

Take a look back at nine artists featured in the early years of NFT Weekly. Their work reflects the variety, curiosity and experimentation that surrounded the emerging world of NFT art. Artist: Jo Aestrild X Profile:  @aestrilds Artwork:   Chang'e The colours in this piece are the first element the viewer notices, they are both harmonious and vibrant. Jo has an amazing eye for colour, and the movement she creates, draws the viewer into her serene depiction. The small moon on the figures forehead, and the delicate flowers, gives this piece a feminine air. The woman is standing under the stars, being blown gently by a spring breeze. The sense of the wind on the skin, is a powerful, intoxicating, response created by this image. Leaving the viewer feeling happy, and somewhat ruffled, by the experience.   Artist: Diela Maharanie X Profile:  dielamaharanie Artwork:   Untitled Emotions Diela is the master of bold, exciting patterns, her experience c...
