Hi, and welcome to the newest edition of NFT Matrix, where I present NFT Artists’ work. The artist I am presenting is Lana Denina.
*Note: I did not share any images in this issue since I couldn’t message the artist on twitter and their website expressly forbade sharing images without their permission. Still, their work is really interesting and worth clicking links to check out.
Piece: “You Fascinate Me” Link
Artist: “ ‘ How can someone be this confident? That’s what I asked myself when I met her. She walked and spoke like she owned her world with such delicacy and easiness, she was a walking masterpiece. I swore to myself that one day I’ll be strong like her. I was fascinated.”
“You Fascinate Me” 2021, Lana Denina
2500x2500 px animated digital painting with sound.’ ”
NFTMatrix: Eye catching work, and I like the soundtrack. The visuals are colorful with a specifically darker palette. Really like the color of the heart, and reminds me of being vulnerable with emotions.
Piece: “Saudade” Link
Artist: “I’m not sure what to expect anymore. My agony is boring me. I feel as if I’m grieving a love that was never real. The grief of a delusion. Listening to Fado, I’m watching my reflection in the mirror cry. Is she really me ? I’m ashamed.
“Saudade” 2023, Lana Denina”
NFTMatrix: An excellent portuguese word for inexpressable sadness and longing. The imagery evokes this word as well, hinting at a marriage/lifelong bond with someone whom the subject of the painting may never know. Mourning the loss of a relationship which never came to be due to an unknown and unforeseen consequence is a really interesting concept .
Piece: “To Love The Rose is To Love its Thorns” Link
Artist: “I understand it now.
“To Love The Rose is To Love its Thorns” 2023, Lana Denina”
NFT Matrix: Clean, beautiful imagery which captures the sentiment very well.
