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! 🙏✌️

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. 🙏

Color Field Portraits #2 NFT - By artist Jonah Cordy — Color Field Portraits #2 NFT – By artist Jonah Cordy | Color Field Portraits NFT collection

What I see

Our human form is clearly delimited. We know where the limits of our body begin and where they end. However, our inner dimension is unlimited, expansive, colorful… And yet… Restricted by our self-imposed credence. To a certain extent, we are in control of our chaos and of allowing layers of conditioning to influence our behavior. Throughout our lifespan on Earth, we get acquainted with means to answer this relentless question: “Who am I?” to which we learn to respond by a: “What is I?” Our judgment can easily be clouded by all these filters and patterns that get programmed into us in our early steps, but slowly, we learn to reach the top of the pyramid where our conscience can be clear. When we look back on all that we peeled along the way and count the layers as we would for a tree trunk to determine its age, we find that these infinite layers are increments to our infinity. When we’re able to see these patterns for what they are, only patterns, that’s when we can truly see how far we got (and possibly dissolve a part of the ego along the way).

What I feel

I can’t help but share the feeling of egotistical joy and pride that appears to be motivating the subject of this artwork, happily lifting his jacket’s collar with his thumb while (I imagine) clapping his heels together and chanting: I have an examined life worth living, I know myself. I also like the little cloud above that kindly reminds us that in our human form, knowing thyself does not exempt us from having ideas clouded by some form of ego (human or spiritual). Nonetheless, learning to examine and recognize our inner patterns can only help us rise above the cloud as pointed by the pyramids (or do I see arrows)?

Conclusion

Jonah’s artwork is beautifully composed with shapes and colors and patterns. Each piece invites us into a world of order and of clearly visible delimitations that make us feel safe at first so that we can open up and invite the undefined into our minds. I also like the clear title of this particular collection: Color Field Portraits. There is no fuss about it, it is clear, or is it? When I look a little closer into these portraits, I can’t help but think of a Certified Financial Planner that would have a Cartesian mind and clean steam-pressed wool suits. And if I get a little more into it, I see this Central Focal Protrusion: our ego. Beautiful work Jonah, thanks for sharing your work with the world. 🙏✌️

A New Code

Created by artist Chris Jones

NFTs:
https://opensea.io/collection/galaxy-quest-collection
https://opensea.io/collection/decadeicons

What I see

Life is a colorful gift which we must honor. It is like a bonfire consuming itself slowly until time has come to transcend another form. Millions of years of incarnation has shown that evolution is progressive. A transition aimed at taking us, step by step, closer to the architect. A process not to be confused with progress which can become defective for it is only relative. The world around us proves to be aggressive and may lead one to pause and ponder. Inside each of us is a ladder, but we must pose the question, are two strands enough? Technically, hands on the rail, yes, we seem to be moving upwards though we’re going around endlessly. We need a new code; we need a new way. Instead of a stepladder, show me a stairway. A new kind of DNA.

What I feel

I feel warmth and I feel hopeful that the surreal flame-like look of this colorful new form of DNA contains the recipe for a better world. It contains all the ingredients to create beings that will put art and expression above all else. The appearance of a stairway that brings us from the Earth to the Sun inspires a quest for perfection. It evokes ideas about a new age where knowledge and exploration will be put forth for the advancement of Humanity on a planet where all care for one another, no scarcity, no hunger.

Conclusion

As the name of his collection says, Chris appears to be on a quest. Through his art, we see the path of someone who found a way to express things he had only ever learned to contain. We find that the beautiful stars composing his galaxy can only manifest through darkness. Each day he gets to understand more about how to connect the dots and draw constellations. And once you start seeing constellations, you can navigate your way to redemption. Thank you so much, Chris, for taking us along on your beautiful Galaxy Quest. 🙏✌️
