Shindo’s artworks always impresses viewers with his special magic. We were totally enchanted when we saw his first artwork, Boredom. This piece of artwork was auctioned off within 5 minutes after uploaded on the cryptoart.ai platform. Gem artists never lack of audience who could finely appreciate their style.
Works of art of unique beauty could always gather consensus and build its popularity in the market. Shindo differentiates his personal style from the crowd, which has simple tone but not plain at all. His artwork has a advanced texture. I was not surprised to learn that he was still a college student. He is young and has pure devotion to art, which is his advantage. Viewers could easily feel his skills and his sophisticated handling of 3D drawing software through his artworks. But I think the spiritual core of his works of art comes from his pure spiritual world.
1 Please introduce yourself.
Shindo:I’m a 21 years old student from Montreal and I’m behind @Shindo3D. I’m currently studying 3D animation and digital design at Centre NAD in Montreal, it’s an amazing 3D school and I enjoy every class I have. I’ve been producing digital art for four years now but it’s only been a year since I started using 3D software. I think I was able to learn so much because I’m very critical about my own work and I always know what needs to be done in order to get better.
2 What was the opportunity to get you started with Cryptoart? Could you tell me about your understanding of Cryptoart from your perspective?
Crypto-art came at the best possible time. I was used to rendering images and then posting on instagram and forget about them and that never gave me any gratification apart from a few thousands followers. It never felt right and this had a big impact on me. But a month ago, a friend from my 3D school told me he had gotten a sale online and mentioned crypto art, it didn’t take me long to get hooked by the idea and I instantly started brainstorming about how I was going to do this.
This whole project gave me the opportunity to create Shindo, my crypto alias. I’m in love with the concept because it quickly became a part of my workflow, before I didn’t have an esthetic or any guidelines to follow and I feel that having too many options is bad for the final result. So with Shindo comes a defined look and feel and I can focus on the ideas, it’s a first for me to have some strict rules to follow and I must say that it’s the best thing I ever did for my art.
I don’t consider myself really educated about the blockchain and crypto-art in general but I was able to get a good grasp of the concept by talking to a few people on twitter and by consuming cryptoart on a daily basis. I think it’s a really great foundation for the future and that a lot of artists are going to benefit from this effort as we are entering the digital era. No matter what we do in the next ten years I feel like it’s already clear that computers will continue to be at the core of our existence and knowing that, turning to the world of crypto is the best thing to do.
3 Who is your favorite artist and why?
My favourite artists are the clever ones, nothing beats a clever idea that makes you think a second time when you look at something. Olafur Eliasson is a great example. I’m in love with his work firstly because his ideas are clever, and then he has amazing techniques and workflow. He is able to make you reconsider any important part of life by experimenting with tangible stuff, no computer involved. I also really love PAK, he’s also really clever.
4 Has the advent of Cryptoart changed your life? Like having more income, or making new advances in your career?
The advent of cryptoart definitely changed my life and impacted my perspective as an artist, like i said earlier I was previously making art knowing that it was going to end-up on instagram and die slowly, but now that I know that the destination is way better I think differently about the artwork I’m working on. Knowing that it’s about scrolling and double tapping anymore is really comforting. Then comes the income part, I’m able to pay rent because I work on the weekends and having a second income has allowed me to invest into a new graphics card which allows me to take things up another level.
5 What is your future plan in life? Given you are still a student at the moment, so will you become a full-time artist?
I am tempted by the idea of finding a job as a professional in the industry of 3D animation but I must say that nothing will give me more gratitude than being an artist. At the moment I’m putting way more effort and time to learn new techniques for myself as an artist than for my professional portfolio and I’m sure that I’m going to become at some point a full time computer artist.
6 Your work gives me the feeling like you got a strong personal style. Do you think maintaining this personal style is an important quality of being an artist?
Like I said earlier, the style I came up with by creating Shindo is totally new to me and came spontaneously. I do believe that having a strong and defined style is super important, with boundaries comes more freedom to think about the rest, about the things that come first when creating a well-thought piece of art.
