Meet Oleg Gant ( @o-gant ), a Russian artist, photographer, art critic, and curator currently living in Lithuania whose emotionally evocative works have garnered international acclaim. Known for his distinctive style of emotional abstraction, Gant’s creations reimagine the human journey, capturing the experiences that define life.

Meet Angelika Kollin @angelikakollin 

We had the honor of chatting 1/1 with Angelika on @farhouse this Tuesday and we think the whole world should know her through her life story and art in the Pkok Collection.

Angelika is a self-taught fine art and documentary photographer currently based in Tampa, Florida. Her work is driven by a lifelong desire to comprehend and gain insight into human loneliness and suffering, as well as to study the role of faith in overcoming these challenges.

Angelika's passion in photography and art derives from a desire to delve into the complexities of inter-human connections and the deeper meaning of human existence. In her photography, she strives for a straight and honest portrayal, while also incorporating personal thoughts and grace. Angelika is known primarily for her portraiture and documentary-style photography, and she derives tremendous satisfaction from working on personal, long-term photographic projects that allow for in-depth investigation of her topics of interest.

Over at /pkokcurated, we profiled 3 amazing artists, @leslieaspurlock, @angelikakollin & @o-gant. You should know them, they're all phenomenal artists doing some pretty amazing things.

Telling stories behind the pfp is something we take great pride in and hope that it foster new and deeper relationships between artists and audiences.

Just like previous drops, this week's @pkok @hypersub was not only power packed but also value packed. It explored the evocative power of red, a color rich with dualities—passion and anger, life and danger, warmth and intensity with curated artworks from @luluxxx, @ac0042, @ctrlshiftoff, @satoshimilk & KamauKamau

@pkok is committed towards contributing in meaningful ways to the ecosystem while partaking in it and exploring all possibilities. If we can't imagine, we can't live!

We're lucky to have received the @moxie.eth Retro Grant 1 recently. It has allowed us to invest back into the art community through Fan Tokens and raise our farscore in the process, which further enables us to reward creators and the larger community. 

Amazing times to be in web3.

Luckson hasn’t seen his son Daniel, now 5 years old, in two years. 

Like many families from Malawi facing economic hardship and the increasing crime rates in South African townships, he and his wife made the difficult decision to send their child back home to be raised by extended family. While parents can often provide for their children from afar, the greatest challenge lies in being able to visit them. For most, the cost of a ticket—equivalent to an entire month’s salary—is simply unattainable. 💔

Finally, we're extremely fortunate to be so early at this frontier of tech and finance and we can't wait to explore the possibilities beyond art and tech; making real impact on real people's lives. 

We're so happy to have contributed 5000 /degen to @angelikakollin to go towards helping Luckson see his family in Malawi.

It's inspiring to see so many people building absolutely insane things and doing that with intensity, passion, humility and enthusiasm. 

Looking forward to another week of building, collecting & connecting among all you legends! Love you all.
