Alexandra Crisan
Tell us something about you.
My name is Alexandra Crișan. I'm an architect, an interior designer and a dreamer at heart, with an avid desire to change things and make it better. I've always felt that any form of good design can make a significant difference in people's lives and contribute to a better world.
Where are you from?
Bucharest, Romania
When did you start making art?
I've been painting and drawing since I was little and I've pursued my passion through art school and then architecture school, graduating with an MD. I have a tremendous love and curiosity for all forms of artistic expression. My strong interest in all forms of art allowed me to go from sketches to 3D models and then mould all of my ideas into more tangible forms like buildings, interiors, and furniture. Recently, I've resumed my exploration of painting as a more liberated means of expressing myself, experimenting with acrylics, oil paint, and watercolor, as well as the unlimited possibilities of combining all of this into a digital form.
What motivates you?
Creativity, curiosity and stories. Stories have always picked people's attention because they create a sense of hope and creativity that gives you wings and allows you to figuratively express all of your emotions. Curiosity may instill in you a sense of wonder that you can always share with others. A combination of these three always keeps me motivated.
What is your favorite piece you created? Why? Tell us something about it.
Goddess of the sea is my personal favourite. I've always been fascinated by water and imagined what it might be like to live beneath it, in a magical setting, surrounded by all of its unseen splendors.
Which software do you use?
Mostly Photoshop, as well as hand-painted acrylics or watercolor on canvas as a first layer and occasionally 3d softwares,
Personal achievements.
Having utilised art to improve people's living environments all around the world , as well as using time and kindness where art was insufficient for a change.

JORDAN
When did you start making art?
I have been creating art since my childhood as I come from a creative family who is already in the art scene.
What motivates you?
I started photography 6 years ago and I was able to capture some really nice moments with my lens, but I always saw a story behind each raw image I captured, which might not be transferred clearly to the viewer. That’s why I decided to add the art factor in terms of graphics and editing to those images. That’s how I was able to create a scene and a feeling that gives a new perspective to the viewer, but also the story of that image.
What is your favorite piece you created?
The End of ETHEREUM MINING, the coming of ETH 2.0
Why? Tell us something about it:
That was a picture I took 6 years ago in Berlin of an old man doing some metal work. I always loved that picture. I have it hanging on the wall, meanwhile I started mining eth just a while ago. And the fact that the ETH mining is coming to an end very soon, and the idea that I need to mine as fast as possible with the limited resources I have. It is a representation of the old man trying to mine as fast as possible with his limited physical power...with the ETH 2.0 just behind him coming to get him
Which software do you use?
I mainly use my own raw images, edit them on photoshop, then add some graphics using Adobe photoshop and after effects mainly
Personal achievements:
When it comes to photography I was able to gain some recognition in the region (UAE and Jordan) through some known digital newspaper

Where are you from?
I live in the city of Dnipro. Ukraine.
Tell us something about you.
Recently, I started selling digital art for cryptocurrency on various platforms. I am a graphics and 3D motion designer. Initially, I was engaged in fashion photography as well as shooting short films and music videos. Currently, I plan to start shooting again. But I'm relatively new in the 3D world. Let's just say that NFT has become one of the motivations to take up 3D again. My skills are still developing, but every day I get better at what I do.
What motivates you?
Motivation is a tricky thing. Sometimes it may just not be there. But the most motivating thing for me is that I am a creator, and I recreate what I imagine, for which I am generously rewarded. What could be better than your favorite business, which not only gives you the opportunity to realize yourself, but is also commercially successful?
What is your favorite piece you created? Tell us something about it:
On one of the sites, I launched a collection called Dreamcars. I love cars. For their design, ride comfort in them. They are an integral part of our life, cinema, whatever. A car is one of the few inanimate things that can say almost everything about a person. What is a person's lifestyle? Interests. And the most important thing is how free and successful he is. How much gasoline does the car use, how fast it is or how big it is.
I think the most suitable artwork would be one of my last works: DREAMCARS
Which software do you use?
I mainly work in Blender. Post-processing is done in After Effects / Photoshop.
Personal achievements:
As for personal achievements, there is a great demand for the Dreamcars collection on the AirNFTs marketplace.
