Everyone is welcome to our Finterview. If you want to participate, let's start with this one... What does the term “masterpiece” mean to you?

Hey pkok! Let's go: For me, a masterpiece evokes emotion, whether it's good or bad, and it never goes unnoticed. It doesn't necessarily possess technical precision, but rather embodies feeling, heart, effort, dedication, courage, affection... I believe that a masterpiece cannot be truly recognized as such without standing the test of time. It transcends its era and remains timeless. My 2 cents 😅 😅

Welcome to Pkok Finterview, Off! How would you describe your artistic style to someone unfamiliar with your work?

Thank you, pkok! I'd describe my style as punk, disruptive, and conceptual. My work focuses on exploring errors, glitches, and bugs through code-based glitch art. My pieces follow a philosophical approach, aiming to delve into the imperfections of systems, whether they're natural or artificial.

Can you elaborate on the philosophical approach? This sounds intriguing... And by the way, thanks for being with us 1000 $DEGEN

Thank you so much, pkok!! Yes I can... During my Visual Arts degree (2015-2019), I developed a research and a series of etchings exploring our metamorphoses, the difficulties we face when confronting these changes, and how they affect our environment and reality, using Franz Kafka's novel The Metamorphosis as reference. When I started exploring digital art (2021), I continued working on this idea but with a new perspective: thinking of the individual as a “bug” within society. So I developed "The Bug Theory" (2023), which now underpins my current artistic production. I'm going to leave two links that point to the development of this idea. I think you’ll enjoy reading them. https://x.com/ctrlshiftOFF/status/1706597450247540791 https://x.com/ctrlshiftOFF/status/1780959541699764401

It will be an interesting read after the talk. What initially drew you to art, and how did your journey as an artist begin?

I was very artistically encouraged by my parents since I was a child. I learned to read and write at home, and my earliest memories are of me drawing with my mom, playing guitar with my dad, and gaming with my friends. During classes, as a child and teenager, I would draw on desks, the back of tests, and on the walls at home and in the street. I took dance, theater, and painting classes, and I had bands throughout my life until I was 22. My parents passed away when I was still a teenager, and I went to live with my uncles, who didn’t see me as an artist. This made me stray from that path and seek something more socially acceptable. I tried to go to college for business administration and law, but it didn’t work out. At 25, I dropped everything and went to art school, graduating in 2019. Since then, I've been working to live off my art. With the pandemic, I migrated to digital art, and here I am. I didn’t choose art; it chose me. 😁 😁

Seems that you are another natural born artist. Is there anyone special, that helped you when you were starting out, and what difference did they make?
