Welcome to the epic round of CryptoArt Sundays! I am so excited to introduce you Ace Willbornis a very talented artist with the most amazing artwork and style!
Her iconic Aiya Oba (Queen Mother) hand-painted artwork depicts the beauty of black women and African culture with a focus on female empowerment, culture and inclusivity. Ace is not only a full-time graphic designer and creator, but since joining the NFT space, Ace has taught himself both writing Solidity smart contracts, creating mining dApps (websites) from scratch, and using WordPress. I learned and developed a PFP project from start to finish. .
Let’s take a closer look at her journey on the web3 scene and what she thinks about the future of NFT art!
During my artistic journey, I have always looked for ways to get my art in front of an audience. In particular, where are you going to find your audience?
My interest in NFTs began when I was scrolling through Facebook and saw a friend sharing an article about someone in my hometown selling a piece of art for a huge sum. . What interested me was not the amount, but that he sold his work for a certain amount of his ETH as his NFT.
So I started researching NFTs. Luckily, I am hoarding cryptocurrencies, especially his BTC, so it was not difficult for me to understand the relationship with Ethereum. I stumbled across platforms like OpenSea, Foundation, Mintable, Rarible and experimented with them to see which one was the cheapest to create my first creation.
Not specifically for this collection, I create it every day. But literally creating is my job. I am a graphic designer for an online marketing company and I studied graphic design at the Willem de Kooning Art Academy in the Netherlands.
Before you start creating, look for inspiration. Because I like to base my art on reality. Some of mine are pure fiction, but I like to use real life references. I rarely step back and review my work until I think it’s done because I’m afraid I’ll be too perfectionist and change things.
absolutely! I keep in touch with various artists on Twitter. I didn’t think it was on my schedule at the time, so I didn’t manage to make a successful collaboration with them. But I am always open to take it back.
A lot of people in the web3/NFT space are predicting it might die out, but I feel this is just the beginning for new and upcoming artists. I joined the scene when it was hot, experienced both bull and bear markets, and am now witnessing it gaining traction as it progresses! By selling my art as CryptoArt , became the first independent artist to earn an income. The market has been volatile for a while, but that’s true of all new things.
I am currently exploring new styles that still fit my artistic identity. I still feel like I’m finding myself as an artist, and new ideas cross my mind every day. Other than that, I’m comfortable creating new pieces to sell as the university wants my attention, but I also experienced burnout during the NFT bull market earlier this year.
my work is available in both high seas When foundation.
