    Paola Pinna on self-representation and web3 art

    Influenced by mutating experimental technologies, futuristic landscapes, and female representation, Paola Pinna views art as an expression of herself. She spent her formative years in London, where she studied digital arts and really started getting into 3D. Paola's works have been supported by multiple international collectors in Crypto Art, as well as the media, with her art being featured in internationally known magazines.

    Paola's NFT art is quite figurative, it's 3D with a paint feeling due to her art studies, that melted and fused with a strong influence from Internet and the gaming culture. Through her unique art, Paola is exploring concepts of identity and presence in an age of the algorithm, starting with her own experiences of being out there in VR landscapes.

    “I've always played video games a lot, that’s why I'm very motivated to create experiences related to the gaming world” Paola tells us. This is the perfect scenario that made possible the creation of METAEDEN, a NFT metaverse that unflods experiences through a serie of episodes created by Paola in collaboration with writer and creative director floontz, which debuted at The Foundation.

    “We are very fragmented, I like to think I can totally become the new character I create, so with the

    avatars, I can assign a different part of my personality, every time I create a new state of mind." Paola is definitely establishing her creations in the web3 art panorama focusing her work on a very specific persona—herself through a digital interface.

    “The characters I create have an emotional mood that I personally want to explore in that specific time”. Nowadays avatars are everywhere. These graphical representations are used in gaming, social networking, and even marketing to feature humans in a virtual environment. Conveying emotions will take a lot of technological augmentation to deliver human-like interactions. However Paola's avatars convey emotions, they have personality and are very attractive.
