Participating Artists
Andrea Chiampo
(Italiy)
Andrea Chiampo is a London-based Italian Digital Artist and established Concept Designer for the Entertainment Industry. Client list includes Disney, Netflix, 20th Century Fox, The Mill and many more.
Although his work is mainly known for his distinct and never-before-seen creature design characterized by a photo-realistic use of translucency, texturing, rendering and lighting, Andrea has lately aroused curiosity among the Digital Art community after the reveal of a new, unique and evocative style.
What at first sight might be misunderstood as an antique and eerie lithography is instead the result of Andrea’s digital sculpting and 3D rendering.
“The crucial difference between my typical creature work and my Futured Past collection is dictated by the fact that the latter was in no way demanded or influenced by industry demand, but arose naturally and unconditionally from my soul”.
Andrea was born and raised in Italy, where he has been surrounded by art since his early age. Composition, lighting and storytelling have been influenced by old masters. In fact, his family ran an antique’s business and he grew up among beautiful old prints, sculptures and art pieces.
He recently embarked and focused on a career as an independent artist thanks to the advent of NFT and his successful sales on SuperRare.
By choice of the artist, the pieces don’t come with a detailed description:
“I want each viewer’s personal interpretation to become the ticket to their own journey”.

Cydr
(Brazil)
21yo artist based in Curitiba, Brazil, working with mixed media and illustrations in a way to express his distorted mind. Although Cydr has always been creating, even as a child, he really caught up with his passion by doing graphic design needs far back in 2016, developing most of his skill with the basics tools in Photoshop. Later then, as he got older and his vision began to show up - he finally felt ready to put in what he had learnt into the test by going in the art field itself, as in a way to truly express what he feels with the help of his passion. In 2021, he then got involved with crypto space; since then, many works have been eternalized, and it is beautiful to see its construction.
FelixFelixFelix
French
Born and raised in Paris, France, I studied architecture at the University Paris Belleville (graduated in 2012). Today, my architectural work continues to inspire my creative work. An avid drawer, who favors black and white large scale formats, I focus on the study of space, through its representation and meaning. I investigate the relationship between the macro-and-micro, interpreting the experience of their interaction.
Visual yet immaterial projection is at the core of the architectural act. It requires the architect to articulate a multiplicity of elements whose end result is greater than the sum of its parts. My works account for the multitude of elements that constitute an ecosystem – one that ultimately transcends each of those inputs. Playing with the relationships between form and content and signifier and signified is at the center of my kaleidoscopic approach.
Spectators become explorers, as they’re invited to embark on a journey – during which they’ll discover new details, new angles, new layers at every step. My work is very much a catalyst for surprise, endless possibilities, and the desire to willingly lose oneself. Depending on where eyes land, one connects with the artwork uniquely and infinitely.
Involved in Crypto Art since 2021.

Peter Nitsch
(Germany)
Designer on-air and off-air, photographer, producer, and founder of DRAWLIGHTS, Peter Nitsch has always worn many hats. But at the heart of everything that he does Nitsch is first and foremost an artist and a photographer. He was born and raised in the Upper Palatinate, in eastern Bavaria. Nitsch received his BA in communication design from the Department of Design at the Munich University of Applied Sciences (MUAS). Influenced by his no-man’s-land childhood in the Upper Palatinate and the German skater scene of the late eighties, Nitsch’s narratives of people in dialogue with life observe individual and collective identities through a bright, clean vision—he uses social context and the (urban) landscape to explore these identities in relation to cultural and intercultural realities. Nitsch published his first monograph Bangkok – Urban Identities in 2006. He is the recipient of numerous awards, both as designer (New York Festival and BDA, among others) and photographer (Los Angeles International Photography Award and Hasselblad Masters semifinalist, among others). He was cofounder of Europe’s first crossover skate- and snowboard magazine, Playboard, and the corporate design studio RUPA. In 2020, Nitsch became a lifetime member of the Royal Photographic Society of Thailand.

One thing is clear, Wink Tokki freely explores familiar and unfamiliar worlds with curiosity. The symmetrical world of Wink Tokki, whose foundation is Tokki Code, expands into new stories such as Cosmos Clock, Deer Forest, and Squirrel Community Center, and is overall connected by symmetry.
