ABOUT THE ARTIST
Her Story
With an art and design background, VΞLΛ entered the NFT/crypto art space in 2021 with curiosity. She spent time learning about and engaging with the community, while growing an appreciation for the vast potential of blockchain tech. She soon recognized the possibilities for her own work and began producing digital art that could be transformed into NFTs. VΞLΛ's art style is an amalgamation of her love for traditional paintings, appreciation of contrasted light/color, and excitement for new-age digital mediums.
Her Art
VΞLΛ’s expressive, abstracted work draws on her understanding of energy, the world, and her own intuition. All of her minted work is digitally hand-painted using various brush and pen styles.
Seeking luminance and chromatic balance, VΞLΛ intuitively chooses color palettes, achieving a vibrant aesthetic in each artwork peppered with light pen.
An observer can consider her use of light pen as the visual representation of energy throughout the universe. As humans, we cannot visually see energy nor our emotions. Much of VΞLΛ's abstract art can be understood as the unseen, visualized. Therefore, the light pen in her works can be perceived as pure energy—heat / light / emotion / power—that she reveals in each painting.
Finding meaning in abstraction.
"The aim of art is not to represent the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance."
— Aristotle
Her Technique
“I never plan out any of my abstract paintings; I don't decide what it will be before I start work on it. I begin with a black canvas, and then make quick artistic decisions based on intuition and gut feeling.
When I feel like the piece is done, and there's nothing more I can add or take away to better the work, then it's complete. What finally comes about is natural to the piece itself.”
Her Intention
When it comes to creating art, what is your mission?
“My goal in each piece is to create some form of beauty in light and color, so that it will stop the viewer, make them look, make them feel, make them think, and ultimately remember—as something they can carry with them.
Art should spark feeling, ignite thought, and burn to memory a new understanding.”
