Recently, we had the pleasure of sitting down with the artist Ozlem Okuyan - a Turkish artist with a passion for dark art - better known as "NftPortaL" to talk about her current exhibition at CREO Gallery. In our conversation, we explored 16 different topics, from her artistic development to her passion for NFT art. Throughout our conversation, it became clear that NftPortaL's art not only reflects her own experiences, but is also a commentary on the world around us. Join me as we delve deeper into the mind of this talented artist and explore the inspiration behind her thought-provoking creations.
ARTISTIC CAREER
Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I ended
up moving to art ever since I could remember.
However, I wasn't only focused on being an artist. I
actually focused on moving up the career ladder.
My art adventure started with the drawings I made
in painting classes in primary school. After trying
all kinds of painting techniques, when I realized
that oil paint gives me more pleasure, I started to
progress in this technique. I decided to switch to
digital art when I started learning the photoshop
program at the beginning of last year.
What started as a hooby opened me up to a real
love of Nft Art, something up until that point I
really had no interest in. I’m glad it did, because
every NFT effort I’ve done has always been a real
high point in my personal record of things. Also, I
think the idea of being in a communal learning
environment has really helped in creating, as well
as keeping my head on the ground.
