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. Pkok Finterviews, a 🧵

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?

the word masterpiece defines an artifact that is the best of a series that an artist has worked on. In this regard I believe that there can be no masterpiece without a career. I do not believe that the emotions that arise from a work can define a masterpiece, but rather it is due to a practical act of the artist's work itself. For a nature photographer it can be the photograph of something very rare, which does not imply the beauty of the work itself but rather the achievement of a goal. The same can be said for any type or genre of artist who recognizes in a specific work the uniqueness that distinguishes it and that is almost unrepeatable.

Welcome to Finterview, Luigi! It's nice to have you here! You are using many tools for making your art, from camera to AI and code. How would you describe your artistic style to someone unfamiliar with your work?

Gm pkok. This is a good question, and honestly I don’t really know how to describe myself to someone who’s approaching my work for the first time. I’m a Visual Artist, the finished product is the image, and I don’t set limits to what I use to reach my idea. What o surely know is that my practice bring me often to a lot of failures and some good results. 😅

A 'visual artist without limits' is a great tag line already 😁! 1000 $DEGEN You anticipated some of our questions, but we'll get back to both failure and good results 😄 What initially drew you to art, Luigi and how did your journey as an artist begin?

Thank you for the tip 😅 I now have two dates of artistic birth, one is the real one that dates back to the 90s when photography kidnapped me and never left me, and one dates back to 2021 when, discovering the world of crypto art and NFTs, I began to see the world differently. Especially with the discovery of AI, I realize that my stories can have such a powerful assistant that it can allow me to incredibile trips. It started naively, like all my art experiences, open eyes, open mind, open heart.

Is there anyone special that helped you when you were starting out both in the 90's and 2021, and what difference did they make?

The 90’s were really different, I was influenced by some great Italian and American photographers. Just to name someone: Luigi Ghirri, Franco Fontana, Stephen Shore, William Egglestone. In 2021 was completely different of course, probably the artist who influenced me most was Anna Condo @a1111ac011d0 her eclectic way to do art was unique to me. Who helped me in the understanding of the NFT world was @bthemouth @hugofaz and all the @obscura team. All special people and artists.
