Artist Spotlight: 4c3m1t4

Today I get to share an interview with the multi-talented @4c3m1t4. The first time I saw 4c3m1t4's pixel work, I was blown away by his unique style. The first time we actually commented directly to each other, I mentioned the idea of an Esther Tamagotchi.

4c3m1t4 is a psychologist by day and Illustrator and pixel artist by night. He focuses on creating glitches and forms to assemble anew.

4c3m1t4 and I collaborated on the first Esthergotchi recently, and it was a blast to bounce off of each other and create. Today, let's take some time to get to know 4c3m1t4.

1. Tell us a little bit about yourself?

I'm a Psychologist and artist based in Buenos Aires; I fell in love with art thanks to my wife, an art instructor who helped me 15 years ago to appreciate a large number of worlds where I could travel through art. Through the exploration, I initially made illustrations and began to work with Pixel art and animation. I love all the themes related to skulls, video games and computers.

2. How do you get into your creative zone?

I usually enter my creative zone by reading and looking for references on television and the internet, and there I begin to imagine alternative worlds.

3. When in the flow, what does your process look like?

I usually spend several days imagining and generating different ideas; for me, the funniest part is exploring and thinking of multiple possibilities or ideas; then, I seek that all these ideas converge by making the first sketch, and if I feel comfortable there, I begin to draw.

4. Tell us about your Esther piece?

Esther is your personal partner, who is in your pocket and helps to experience different situations through the game, reminding us that the small moments must be lived. Being present is key to having balanced mental health.

5. What are you most excited about in web3?

The possibility of knowing new people and their cultures, creating projects and ideas that can reach thousands of people and transform their lives.

6. What's the most significant learning experience you've had in web3?

The most important thing is the community; we can be able to create entire ecosystems if we work together.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know me and for helping create these magical pieces; one day we will play a real Esthergotchi; I can feel it. Everyone, please jump into @4c3m1t4 Twitter and throw him a follow.
