We thought hard about being a @moxie.eth Hero this week and how we'll celebrate that. 

Introducing Pkok Finterviews - Cast-form farcaster interviews, 20 questions to some of our favorite people.

We aim to tell stories of phenomenal individuals shaping the art ecosystem on web3. It's also a great way for us and other heroes to get to know and engage with them. Oh! each interview starts with /degen love.

But wait, there's more! These Finterviews are not restricted to only those we tag. If you'd like to participate, just respond to the questions and join the party, everybody is invited to be a part of these Finterviews. Tell us more about yourself, read other people's stories and hopefully we all get to know each other better by the end.

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?

A masterpiece to me is a work of art that will evoke emotions among a wide array of people, something they can't take their eyes (or ears) off.

this has nothing to do with aesthetics or 'beauty' but with the energy a certain peace emits, what emotional reaction is being triggered.

With a masterpiece, very often it's hard to describe what precisely makes it so good and therein lies the power.

Also it's not a term that one would often use. In the art world there's only a very limited amount of masterpieces, in some genres/art categories maybe more than other.

Art is something that came naturally I guess. Both my parents were graphic designers so I was always surrounded by people creating. Both were also art lovers so we often visited museums. On top of that my mother is a huge movie buff and I was fed a nice mix of art house films and the more popular stuff I was drawn to. My dad was also a very good amateur photographer and made lots of slide shows using the Kodak Carousel setup where two projectors could fade in and out over each other, triggered by impulses on an audio tape (that also served as soundtrack). I found this incredibly fascinating and Cole to think of it is was like film-editing but with still images. 
All this combined led me to film school, where I started my own journey, experimenting with different media, always in the ‘visual’ realm.

What initially drew you to art, Erik? And how did your journey as an artist begin?
