Meet the Creators From Loot Arena | February Edition
Some of the most creative artists are partnering with us to showcase their artwork as unique NFTs to be auctioned in the Arena this month. These talented creators will become part of our privileged group of artists forever immortalized on our blockchain, allowing for a true artistic exploration as users discover our sites. Watch the game to be amazed by these stunning art pieces.
The first artist we are proud to present this month is Pihu Sharma, a 23-year-old Indian author, professional painter, and digital artist. Sharma began paving her path as a child, drawing realist and abstract pieces at nineteen. One significant source of inspiration to bring her artwork to life is the legacy of Frida Kahlo. Sharma draws inspiration from Frida’s urge to paint and her resilience journey through pain, sickness, and complex situations, encouraging her to keep working and evolving as an artist.
Members of the Arena can bid for her exclusive artworks in the “Metamorphosis” set. This collection will include the pieces titled Red (already being auctioned), Blue, Lasa, Neon Cake, and Purple, representing the transformation journey of the young Lasa. Sharma’s digital pieces are strongly inspired by Robert Greene’s book, The Art of Seduction, based on Carl Jung’s shadow theory.
According to Carl Jung, the shadow is an archetype of human unconsciousness, where all desires, repressed behaviors, and instincts live. Sharma explores these concepts of pretending, manipulation, and shame to create an immersive and deep atmosphere deftly portrayed in her NFT. Sharma said her paintings “show the splatter of color over people, indicating different emotions altogether. Those are mainly based on the theories of the evil side of the human psyche and how we as a species try our best not to let it slip by, but when it does, chaos happens because we don’t know how to handle it — we never learned it.”
Although she is a debutant in the NFT space, Sharma has discovered many possibilities by minting her digital artwork in our ecosystem through the partnership of Aya Curators. She shared, “NeoWorlder, honestly, opened my eyes to a whole new world. This, being my first NFT experience, I realized that there’s an entire sea of people who care about creativity and the creator. I am so thankful for it.
Eva Praskova
Another highly anticipated artist in the Arena this February is Eva Praskova. As a photographer, she expresses her creativity through self-portraits that evoke the daily anguish of contemporary women. Praskova grew up in the communist regime with her mom who presented her first camera, a Lubitel and showed her the world through the lenses. With her free spirit and imaginative mind, she has not stopped since starting a professional career in 2009, with her work being showcased in several countries over the last decade.
Praskova is releasing three exclusive NFTs in Arena: “Illuminated,” “Take a Note,” and “Annihilation,” all of them as part of “The Divine Feminine” set. She explained that her work “shows a woman’s complex and intricate soul. I use the self-portrait medium as it allows me to control every aspect of the process, and I give part of myself into it. I am both the observer and the observed, and it is then a very intimate and personal piece.
Praskova shared that her experience with NeoWorlder through the partnership with 4IR NFT reveals more than a new channel to exhibit her artwork but a potential audience and a long-term purpose in the digital medium. She said, “With the rise of NFTs and their current acceptance of photography, I am ready to step in and share my visions with the world via the NFT community,” said Praskova. “I also keep evolving my art style and adding new elements to my photography, such as digital painting and layering”, said Praskova. “I find the concept of Lootverse quite compelling. It’s a new frontier of human experience. I’m glad to be part of this journey and wish NeoWorlder success in future endeavors and hope to continue with them.”
