As an artist, freedom in creation is something valuable. Often the ego pushes the artist to fall into the endless hole of creation, so that in the end this cycle of creation will be stopped by reality. The fact that the work becomes just like something without value. The artist can of course give value to his own work, but this process also requires help from an audience who appreciates the work; both in the form of praise, writing, criticism, and collecting. In the few months I have been in this crypto-verse, I have received immense appreciation and support from; fellow artists, friends, strangers, to a point where my works meet the collectors. This work is about rediscovering my urge to work. A cliché story indeed. But, isn't life really a cliche? About; win-lose, ups and downs, to the matter of finding a second, third chance, and so on. I rediscovered that opportunity, and this work is aimed at those who give me the opportunity to work again, work until I get drunk by it, and create artwork that I really like.
Thank you very much.
