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 🧵

We have almost a week for it 😆 What does beauty mean to you as an artist?

Ok I’m still sleepy so let’s hope this makes sense 😁😁 Beauty is definitely what I’m drawn to. I like to create art that doesn’t challenge or confront you but pulls you into a feeling of calm. Without beauty in my subjects, that wouldn’t be possible. To me, beauty is a perfectly weighted image where your eye moves freely without being disturbed in the flow. It’s relaxing and full of positive emotions.

It makes a lot of sense! What initially drew you to art, and how did your journey as an artist begin?

I’ve always been drawn to it so can’t remember the origin. I have 5 older sisters that were pretty much all artistic so it was always around me. I remember Mondrian specifically as one of my first art memories. I used to spend hours looking through photo albums, reliving the emotions I felt through the images. That was really one of my strongest inspirations, the ability photography has to make you feel. It was after I finished school that I got my first camera and was able to start finding my art language. Before that, I drew with pencil and charcoal, mostly mimicking photographic portraits by photographers like Herb Ritts and Annie Leibovitz. I loved how you could feel the personalities of their subjects through the images.

Mondrian, Herb Ritts and Annie Leibovitz... This is a really great starting point. Speaking of which... is there anyone special that helped you when you were starting out (besides your sisters), and what difference did they make?

No. I just followed my interests. Not all my sisters helped out either. One of them did the opposite to that 😁 The need to create has always been so strong that I couldn’t ignore it. It was happening whether I liked it or not. Like breathing, it was a natural part of me.

Classic sibling love 😅. Love what you said about the “need to create”. When do you feel like you’ve fulfilled that need the most; when you create something that gets applauded/recognized/acclaimed, or is it more about when you feel like you’ve created something special/unique/good in your own eyes?

It’s definitely how the work makes me feel. That’s my drug of choice. Feeling the flutter in my stomach when I create something good is the best feeling ever. I’m addicted to that rush. Whether others like it or not is just a bonus. I was creating long before I shared with others and would keep creating whether others were looking or not.

Speaking of sharing your art with others, how has your experience been so far on fc? In what ways do you think fc is good and not so good for artists?
