W3B

I’m thrilled to announce the launch of my new collection, W3B, in collaboration with Daily.xyz. What began as an idea for a new SR collection took an exciting turn when Alejandro reached out after following my posts on X. His invitation to join a select group of 20 artists for Daily’s programme felt like serendipity in motion. This collection drops on February 6th on Daily.xyz, and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you.

Introducing 'W3B'

– A Journey Through the Digital Frontier

The Heart of W3B

W3B is my artistic exploration of the collision between timeless humanism and the frenetic pace of Web3. In this collection, I juxtapose the deep, often philosophical inquiries of the Old Masters with the ever-evolving, hyper-connected energy of our digital age. Whether it’s through bold references to meme culture or nuanced commentaries on the pressures of hype, validation, and digital addiction, each piece in W3B is a reflection on the real people behind the avatars - beyond the flashy PFPs - and the human spirit navigating this space.

A Closer Look at the Pieces

“R.0.D.3.O.”
Beneath a moonlit sky, a hooded figure sets down a cowboy hat beside the gravestone marked “35¢ Masterpieces.” Scattered silver coins echo Judas’s thirty pieces, suggesting a quiet betrayal of artists’ true worth. Though the platform promises a new frontier, this ‘rodeo’ questions whether spaces created to reward creativity ultimately devalue it. The name “Rewarding 0r Devaluing 3veryone’s Oeuvre?” - poses a gentle challenge to the notion that every ‘rodeo’ ride is automatically a win for art.

R.0.D.3.O

ENGAG3M3NT F4RMING

“ENGAG3M3NT F4RMING”
Heads marked with ‘LIKE,’ ‘COMMENT,’ and ‘REPOST’ sprout from potted vines, their anguished cries symbolizing the relentless push for recognition in Web3. A masked “farmer” carefully tends this surreal home garden, reflecting the silent toll on those who strive to please.

4 EV3R ALPH4

“4 EV3R ALPH4”
A figure runs in place, forever reaching for the next big tip or insider scoop. It’s about the relentless pursuit in Web3 culture - where ‘alpha’ often feels both tantalizingly close and perpetually out of reach.

G3N3S1S OF WOJ4K

“G3N3S1S OF WOJ4K”
In this alternate ‘wrong era,’ we witness the birth of an emblematic meme figure that’s come to define much of Web3 degen culture… ‘Wojak’. The “FOMO” knuckle letters speak to the anxieties driving the space - where fear of missing out is felt as keenly as any physical mark. By weaving these motifs together, the piece nods to how the digital realm can leave an indelible imprint on both our identities and collective imagination.

THE L4ST SOL

“THE L4ST SOL”
An older figure passes before a memecoin slot machine, a single coin slipping from his hand as a sorrowful angel comes to claim yet another victim of gambling. The subtle blue tinge creeping across his face underscores the fragile line between fortune and downfall. Merging fleeting hype with a quiet sense of finality, this piece asks what we truly risk in the pursuit of ‘value.’

A Personal Reflection

The creation of W3B is deeply personal - a narrative born from the interplay between timeless human emotions and the rapid evolution of technology. I’ve always been fascinated by how our core hopes, fears, and need for connection remain unchanged, even as the tools and platforms we use to express them evolve. This collection is my invitation to you: to look beyond the surface of digital trends and to engage with the underlying human stories that define our era.

Being part of the Daily.xyz programme is a unique opportunity to showcase these ideas on a platform that champions innovation while honouring artistic integrity. It’s a space where art collectors and NFT enthusiasts alike can explore work that challenges, questions, and ultimately celebrates the complexity of our digital lives.

Mark your calendars for February 6th and join me and subscribe to my profile on Daily.xyz for the debut of W3B. I invite you to dive deep into these narratives, to question the status quo, and to rediscover the timeless human spirit at the core of our digital revolution.

Thank you for being part of this adventure. Let’s navigate the Web3 landscape together - beyond the PFPs, into the heart of art and human connection.
