What I see

Have you ever tried to get out of a habit? Any little ritual you have that you keep telling yourself you should stop performing until you actually manage to consciously break it off… Until it comes right back!!! Whatever this annoying tiny little quirk is, you believe that once you tame it and achieve a clean life free from it, you will have become that better version of yourself you’ve always aimed for. The more you give credence to this idea, the more you believe it. You start bleaching yourself all over with that desire for purity you’re making up. The more you apply this make-up, the more it covers your “I”. Funny how we are inclined to polish up our eyesight by blocking it with all these beautiful flourishing biases. Let’s not be fooled. Our true colors will always surface. These traits we’re trying to hide are what makes us unique and special. Once we fully accept ourselves as we are, love shines through. Yes, for a time, we may look good in white but self-acceptance must prevail until it feels right.

What I feel

When I asked for her name while gazing at the beauty of this NFT, the name Laura came up. Maybe my mind just made it up because of the flowers, I thought of a beautiful flower (Flora) without room for feelings (minus F). When I look at her, I feel a serious desire for perfection. I feel the weight of her self-criticism. I sense that she is trying to cover herself up in self-righteousness and rectitude as much as she can, but her imperfection keeps rising up to the surface… Still, she doesn’t want to acknowledge it. Instead, she looks straight ahead, trying to see only what image comes through the minuscule tunnels inside the stems of these flowers. I wouldn’t be surprised if she used the same device for breathing… I want to reach out and tell her that the natural color looks better.

Conclusion

I fell in love with that portrait the second I saw it. Just like all Deriniti’s work I have seen, I find a relatable humanity that radiates through. I find a keen ability to illustrate artistically what makes us human. Derin’s work recently made the object of a beautiful article in the great magazine “Creative Talents” (Issue 2: May ’22). The article can be viewed for free here on pages 14 and 15. I invite you to look it up (as well as all the other nice NFTs featured in this publication). Keep up your great work Derin, thanks for sharing your art with the World! 🙏✌️

About this initiative

For the past few weeks, I have been driving a campaign to offer support (ever humbly) to my fellow NFT creators and I must say, I have had the opportunity to come across amazing artwork. It is a real adventure in itself.

I decided to start writing a few thoughts about random NFTs I reviewed and figured I would create posts on my website in case it interested anyone looking for inspirations on which artists to support or which collections to keep an eye out for.

I am no expert, my only tools are my appreciation of art, my feelings and emotions, my way with words and a true desire to spread positivity in a world where, for the majority, everything is hidden behind by a big cloud of uncertainty.

May this initiative serve its humble purpose and bring support or help or positivity in any way to anyone reading it and to the artists featured in my articles. 🙏

What I see

I once heard a story about a battle between two wolves inside us. The story depicts these two wolves as our inner conflicts between darkness and light, good versus evil. It explains that we are the sole person in charge of feeding one or the other. The stronger wolf is inevitably the one we deliberately choose to feed over the other and could explain why sometimes fear takes over when we decide to give into it… This is a different picture that MirArt illustrates in this beautiful NFT. We see a team working as a well-coordinated ensemble whose mission is to keep balance between body and mind. The white wolf leans against the subject’s head as to influence thoughts and ideas by infusing wisdom (represented by the white strands of hair). The black wolf acts as a supporting pillar of the structure by giving strength to the body. The subtle shades of purple in the white wolf’s muzzle appear to me as evocative of the crown chakra that represents our spiritual connection to the universe. Also, the beautiful hints of red in the black wolf’s fur make me think of the root chakra that reflects our foundation and our relationship with all that allows us to feel grounded in our environment and in our life. It is said that eyes are the doorway through which we can see one’s soul. This artwork’s protagonist appears to have a beautiful soul. There are no strong emotions on her face, no joy, but no pain, only assertiveness. An inner confidence that her totem animal will support and protect her no matter what. I also notice that we see the right eye of the white wolf as opposed to the left eye of the black one. Another nice touch to illustrate a perfect equilibrium between the Yin and the Yang.

What I feel

When I dive into the subject’s eyes, I feel inner confidence. I feel empowered. I feel safe, secure and I have faith that everything will be all right. Through her eyes, I feel strong and balanced. The earthy color of the background also inspires a feeling of groundedness into the present. Nothing else matters when you lock eye contact with her.

Conclusion

When I saw MirArt’s name “Mir”, I immediately thought of the Slavic meaning of the word Mir (Мир): which, depending on the context, refers to “Peace”, “The World”, “The Universe”… I like to think that MirArt’s Universe is a world of peace. Mir describes his work by saying: “I Like to Express my Thoughts and Feelings in my Paintings and Spread Beauty and Love Through Art”. I must say @MirNFT, you do that beautifully! Thanks for sharing your art with the World! 🙏✌️
