Hi, im Blu from Brazil. I’m a transdiciplinary artist, that works over 15 years with music, noise, images and performance in many different ways. I’m mostly a glitch artist, when it comes to visuals, but in the past 6 months, i’v being dedicate myself to NFTs, as a fulltime occupation. I’v being experimenting on digital collages(in a series of digital artistbooks), voxel models, glb meta-3d images, videoart, and other improvised techniques using lofi means to express myself.
There are months of sales, and there are months os strugle and depts. But i’m very happy to finally earn something from my art, in the first time of my life, without having to work as Uber driver or in restaurants.
I also have to fight to keep my mental health(kind of same diagnosis of my friend @Natashacremonese , happy to see her here), cause can’t live without therapy and medications, but what really keeps me alive, is the art making.
From a period of 4 years, i’ve being traveller around Europe and Asia, doing a nomadic lifestyle, sicking for my artistic independence, but the fact that im a cook always helped me to survive. I even use to live in Lisbon(2010) but i wasent never part of the payed artists, my living was made as ilegal worker on restaurants.
All this stories and life experiences made me growl and be a versatile person/artist that i’m now. On this collection that i’ll made, if i get selected, i pretend to tell this stories visually, in a very different way, not that digital, but using watercolor and other analog means, as what i use to do when i’m in crisis(mental breakdowns) for therapeutic purposes. The idea is to create narrative, from the sequence of individual pieces, that create a route map, the can guide my obscure thought to the light, by portraying those “emotional landscapes” colors and shapes, on abstract fashion. Basically, i just told my motivational material to develop my research with a precise focus.
Thanks for the opportunity.
all the best dreamers and explorers
