I started the NFT world in March 2023. I think NFT is now an art culture in the digital age, and as a 3D artist, I am interested in this space to express the various works I do. I have no definite plans to market my work in NFT. I just do my best by minting my works on objkt and sharing them on various media such as X and instagram.
 

What inspires you to experiment with various art styles? How do you decide to explore and develop different styles?

I am inspired by films, games and the meaning of a name. I love sci-fi, so I decided to go into sci-fi art.
