Thank you. It's cool.
Apparently there's a new feature either through iOS or Spaces that it actually showed me my
interface as I was joining to be a host.

torah finn thank you for joining us we're gonna get things fired up here in just a moment this
is our weekly space called Artsy Friday,
where we have artists come up and tell their story,
express anything they want about their art and their projects on Tezos.
And the last Friday of every month, we do a community call.
So if anybody wants to come up on the last Friday of every month
and just share whatever you've got going on at Tezos,
we'd be happy to hear from you.
We, again, are just having a few technical difficulties getting started today, so I'm
going to jump the gun and read a couple of our little announcements before we get things
fired up with the opening music and our interview.
For anybody that's looking to, you know, stop doom scrolling and just know what's going
on with Tezos, the baking sheet has you covered.
It's a quick weekly digest that pulls together Tezos news,
big project updates, and community highlights all in one email.

Absolutely beautiful song.
I listened to it like five times this morning.
And I, as always, recommend that if you liked how that sounded through a space,
you will absolutely love how it sounds.
If you go to object, put on some headphones,
and just enjoy the full song from start to finish the proper way.
And I encourage everybody to do that more in general with the music on Tezos
because you can find some absolutely stunning,
just like every other form of art, on Tezos.
Anyway, thank you so much for being here in NX.
That is an incredible song, Obsessivo, your most recent release.
How are you doing today?
Hi, how are you doing today? Hi, how you doing Yoshi? Thank you for this opportunity for inviting me. I'm really grateful. Hi everybody in the community.
I'm doing good. I'm good. I'm doing good. How are you? I'm doing fantastic. Always a good day when
it starts with music and absolutely appreciate what you've put out so far on Tezos.
I'm curious if you want to go ahead and just introduce yourself in your own passion.
We'd love to hear from you first and then we can kind of dive in.
Yes, yes, for sure.
Well, OK, I'm Nena.
I'm a visual artist and musician from the Venezuelan Andes.
And today I'm based in the south of France.
I asked for the refugee status here a few years ago and I got it.
So I'm living here for a couple of years now.
And I keep doing art art visual art especially and
music so it's uh it's a mix so i i always say it's multimedia art so i always try to mix a little bit of different forms of art like audio visuals, photography, collage, drawing, painting.
And I started using, well, I discovered actually Web3 and the whole ecosystem back in 2021.
the whole ecosystem back in 2021, thanks to a great friend of mine, which he's Venezuelan also,
he's an artist too. He sent me one teso and that's where the journey started and I never stopped.
So I remember when I used to, when I used to meet my art on Hiket Nong, then in Hen Radio, and that's it.
I think the journey will continue and I will keep exploring and experimenting.
I really love the Tessus community, it's actually my favorite one.
I've been, it's been so supportive. I found such a great community, such great
support. I've met some new friends, new allies, music and artistic allies. So I'm really, really happy for that.
Really, really grateful.
And it keeps going.
So that has opened also the opportunity to collaborate with other artists.
So that's, I think, one of the most amazing things of the Tezos community,
because it's really open it's really how do we
say this in English I'm sorry guys because I'm living in France I speak Spanish so I confused
like French Spanish English it's kind of a mix of it. As I always tell artists and guests in the space do not apologize apologize for your English. It's better than all the languages I can't speak. And it's like, frankly, embarrassing the more and more I hear how well people speak English and still apologize for their English. Just stop. You're doing great.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. So yes, I really appreciate the Tessus community and all the friends and people I've met here. Shout out to my friends and all my friends and obviously the community Musical W3, which I'm a founder, one of the founders.
one of the founders. Shout out to HedyMax and Investor Felix, who's down here. Thank you for
coming and listening to me and supporting me always. Thank you, guys.
Beautiful. I appreciate the intro and really, really sentimental, fully relate on a personal
level. We're very aligned artist-wise in our journeys and what we are into, which makes me want to initially ask, where did it begin for you?
How old were you? What was the first thing you made? Was it music? Was it visual? Where did it all begin?
I think I've always been interested in art since I was a child.
interested in art since I was a child. I even have pictures of me when I was a little baby,
a little child, like three or five years old, playing a little guitar that my father gave
me. I used to watch a lot of Art Attack, which is like this TV show, I don't know if you know it, Art Attack in Disney Channel, I think.
I used to do a lot of inventions, you know, with my hands.
So I think I've always been interested in that.
It's the only thing I've always wanted to do in my whole life.
And I've started by making art, actually. I started by drawing and painting, thanks
to my mom. My family has always been so supportive with me, which is... I'm lucky because I know
a lot of stories that are the contrary. So I really appreciate that my family has been really supportive about it.
So I started making art and then I started making music like at 12 years old with the piano. That's
the first instrument I got to learn all by myself. I've always tried to learn all by myself and then thanks to my mom and my friends who always like encouraged
me to go further, I started like studying, I went to college also, I have a visual arts degree,
I started five years and I graduated in 2017, just a year before I left my country.
So, yeah, I've been giving my whole life into art.
That's absolutely beautiful and i love to hear that it was such a blend from such
young age and piano i feel like is what i used to tell people um is that it's like the perfect
introduction to being a musician because it lays out music theory like in order like the alphabet
and so like there's always that deeper connection i
feel when um people are introduced to piano at a young age yes i agree uh i think if you learn to
to play piano you can learn every other instrument actually you can you flow in a way that if you
start doing other other instruments you won't understand it as much as if you started with the piano.
So I highly recommend to start with the piano.
Even if you learn by yourself, you're going to discover,
like, it's going to open a portal for you.
Absolutely. That's all said.
And it's like the hands-on version of learning music theory
for people that are hands-on learners especially when it comes to the combination of the two
i know from personal experience that making music demands visual art you know so like
when did you have your first aha moment that you could take those two somewhat separate skills and combine them? And how did that translate over when you discovered Tezos?
I think I used to do music like not in an interested way to like publishing it or sharing it with others.
I just did it because I liked it.
And I just practiced and explored with my friends.
And, you know, I just created things every time.
The same with art.
I never like did it to show it, you know, or to expose it or exhibit it.
I only did it because it makes me happier. It makes me, it makes like inflame my passion. I
don't know how to say this. It makes me so full, it makes me really happy.
So I never did it for a commercial or exhibition purposes.
So I think that changed when I went to college and I started hearing all the comments and all the support from my friends
and people who really liked what I was doing and they encouraged me to show it.
So I started like, okay, I'm going to take this more seriously and start joining together the two worlds. Music and how can I give an image,
you know, to this, how can I make a cover art? How do I represent what is in the song or what
is in this album or EP that I'm constructing? So I started doing the abstract art because I've never liked, I used to do it,
but I've never liked figurative art, like realistic art. I had to study it and practice
it because it's one of the first things you have to do in college, actually, and in life,
the first things you have to do in college actually and in life because you have to master it
you know but I always liked like fragments and little pieces of things you know to to make
make it more mysterious and more contemplative so I started like joining these two worlds together.
And I don't consider also my music to be really
like in only one genre, you know?
I consider it to be like really mixed, just like my art.
And it started to make sense to me
to make my own cover arts.
And like, you know, relating it to the songs.
And in Tezos, it was a really crazy discovery for me because I didn't understand the ecosystem at first. understand what was web 3 what's what do we do in this space or what how can we
sell our art because I never did it before I only collaborated with our
other artists or show show a little bit in like college exhibitions or things
like that like more intimate and I never thought about showing images of it,
even if I had a bunch, because I love taking pictures of my art and then studying it, you know,
like I look back in my older art pieces and it's like, whoa, I've come so far and I'm doing better right now.
You polish your own art and you start really, really perfection.
I really fully resonate with what you're saying there and that it's absolutely empowering
to have that full circle moment where you realize it all could come together to create
this art installation is what I see them as. Like what we're putting out when we have this
full intention of the visual combined as an enhancement and accompaniment of the music,
that's all one body of work. It's really, I'll say it a billion times and never feel like I'm saying it
enough. It's really undervalued and underrated and under recognized in the space. I think,
you know, we're still super early and that's fine, but I'll never stop saying it because
I, from the bottom of my heart, I continue seeing real life validation of that theory.
real-life validation of that theory yes yes totally and it's actually also like your life
becomes the the the the the art you know like your lifestyle is also artistic and you start
to take it more seriously and it becomes becomes more like a full circle you know it becomes more like a full circle, you know? It becomes more
sensible. So yeah, I understand what you're saying. So I have this friend who likes technology technology a lot and he's really tech friendly.
And he, he started to talk to me about, uh,
Hiket Nank and all the TESO's, uh,
community and the TESO's ecosystem.
And I was really like, I don't know what you're talking about, but I want to try you know like I wanna just go into it
and try it and he sent me one teso and that's where all started there's the
the first piece I minted it's actually on my object profile so you can you can
check it out it's like a g, like a little animation I did.
And it's actually a collage art I did.
I almost selected that one for the gem thread.
But when it comes to posting spotlights on social media,
I always end up biased towards the square format.
Which is why I ended up out of the
three uh choosing floresillas is that how you say that floresillas yes yes uh that's one of my
favorite paintings in my whole life i've made so thank you thank you for sharing it's absolutely
beautiful and it's like i find it to be a a really unique testament to your story on Tezos that your first pieces are so visually dominant, especially with something physical like a painting.
my art pieces in Tezos are physical art. They're not digital. I started doing some
other digital more recently but all of them are physical and that's other thing
that I discovered that gives a little bit of more of value I think just in this
is my opinion,
because I know that there's a lot of people
who love, love, love digital art.
And I also love digital art, but I don't know,
like physicals are really valuable for me.
And I actually have a lot of those pieces with me.
So I really appreciate that I get to publish them
and to share them in other way
than just to have them here with me, you know?
So I think that's the opportunity that Tezos
and this community has given me
to show my art in another way.
I absolutely agree.
And it's one of those spots where there's a whole debate still being had.
But in my eyes, when it comes to physicals that are created as like additions on Tezos for affordable,
I don't see that any different as like, you know, unlimited edition prints for a painting in real life that somebody would sell at like an
art festivals booth you know so like to me it's like the comparison of that and the only reason
i'm saying that is because my next question is have you ever done physical redemption for any
any of your art on tezos I think I haven't, you know, I haven't found like a person or maybe this person hasn't found me yet to make this kind of exchange, you know make like for example a 101 and and give also the the physical piece i'd love that's one of
like my goals in uh in tesla so i'm looking forward to it yeah yeah i'm really big into it as well i
feel like it brings it um it's another version of kind of bringing it full circle where it like
makes it that much more real and uh describable for people in your real life.
And it's just another example of how we can kind of bridge the gap.
And for me personally, I have a lot of hand-me-down art.
So our house feels like a museum.
It's just like all these honestly overly gaudy frames with like contemporary and classic art.
And a goal of mine is over the years to replace it all slowly but surely with hand curated pieces, mostly from Tezos artists that I can get physicals from.
And, you know, of course, I, you know, sprinkle in some of my work too,
you know sprinkle in some of my work too like britney and my collage collabs on the wall
like Brittany and my collage collabs on the wall.
but that is something that i'm a little obsessed with and have started an art wall so um i'll be
keeping an eye on on some of your one-of-ones for sure uh that's actually i wanted to kind of go
back real quick uh rewind to your uh the song we started with uh and kind of talk a little bit because it was in the gym thread
about the visual for it because to me it's a great example of what we were talking about a
moment ago where it's like a full package it's a body of work so if you'd like I'd love to hear
your perspective on the piece that we used in the gem thread.
Floresillas.
Yes, this piece was actually commissioned from my aunt.
She used to have some paintings in her house that were a little bit ugly, a little bit old,
and she bought it from a vintage market in my city,
Merida, which is an Indian city in Venezuela. And it's really funny because this market is really
famous, but painters do paintings like with the, with already with a design, you know? It's almost like what these street art people do. I a already a thing that's made and they just
paint it on top i'm blanking on the word you're looking for but i know what you mean yeah like
it's a model that's already made and you just paint on top of it so they repeat and repeat the
same paintings and they sell it which is a little bit you know a little
bit uh i don't i don't feel it's really cool but you know it's uh people people like it you know
people like it and they feel like uh they take a little bit of my city to their to their houses
by buying those pieces etc so she bought this these paintings and she was like
tired of them you know like i see those paintings in the whole city everybody has these paintings
so i want you to do something on top of them can you repaint these canvases etc etc and i was like
yeah for sure for sure i can do. What do you want me to paint?
Like, do you have like a theme or something? And she was like, yeah, I want like some flowers,
like something pretty, something colorful for my living room, blah, blah, blah. And and I took the the painting and I actually used the the font like the the
already what's what's painted you know if you look closely you will see the
painting behind what I paint so I just inter intervened the the canvas and I made some new flowers. Like I took inspiration from Van Gogh
and I made this colorful bouquet of flowers
that actually don't exist.
I invented those flowers because they're not like...
I couldn't say, oh, those are sunflowers or those are hibiscus flowers.
I just invented the flowers and just draw and painted those into this canvas.
I really love the combination of colors.
I really love blue and like this turquoise
blue and
I really loved
also what's behind
what I paint,
what I painted, because
it gives like a depth
and it gives a texture also.
It gives like a sense
of history, you know, like
there's something behind it.
Yeah, I actually hadn't noticed that that's what that was.
And that's really cool to see.
It gives it that kind of like layered effect that often we associate with digital art.
but within a repurposing.
But within a repurposing, that's really, really cool.
That's really, really cool.
Yeah, I
get inspired by
street art also
because if you go to the
street and see the graffiti
and all the
papers, one on top of the other,
it creates history.
It creates
depth and all these fragments
that's been taken off and put it on again.
And you put something on top of it or you just draw something on it.
I really love this type of intervention in art.
So I take a lot of inspiration in that.
I really appreciate you describing that in detail.
Real quick, I just do want to reset the room
and thank everybody for being here.
It's a beautiful room filled up with a lot of great faces
and appreciate every single one of you for tuning in
as we chat with Nenna.
It's Nenna, not Nenna X, correct?
Yeah, yeah, it's Nenna.
It's like a game of lyrics.
I don't know.
I like it.
Yeah, the X is like an A, but like a punk A.
Like a punk A.
Well, this is Nina.
We're discussing their art on Tezos and music.
And I want to talk a little bit more about the musical web three community and stuff but
before that I'm enjoying talking more about this gem thread and I'm glad that you actually started
with that but the piece I was referring to I'm really curious about the second one the the song
that we played at the beginning obsessivo with the heart, with the gears.
And that's a good example, I feel, of what we were talking about before.
Yes.
This piece is actually a picture. I took a picture of another artwork I saw in Medellin, Colombia, back in 2021, 2022. It's actually an artwork that by I don't know who
because it didn't have like a legend, you know, like something to say this was made by
this was made by ta-ta-ta or where or what year.
It was just there in like a mall to decorate the, you know, the entrance of the mall.
And I said to myself, wow, like this heart is amazing.
And it really moved.
the gear moved and it was in movement and all that and I just took the picture and when this
The gear moved and it was in movement and all that.
this song came out like we were producing it we actually produced another one we were gonna
release it soon also and they're love songs actually they're love songs but a little bit like toxic love songs
so i said to myself i want to use like a heart something like a heart but not like a like a
normal heart or like a something already used or or like an image from internet or
or i don't even i didn't even wanted to use a drawing or a painting. So I used this picture and I edited it to make it a little bit more mine, you know, to make it a little bit more different.
And I did this artwork for the song, Obsessivo.
And I think it turned out really, really, really cool.
I really like it.
Thank you for asking about it.
Absolutely. With the context of the song, it does feel like a statement of that motivation and drive and fury and passion, even when it comes to, like you said, toxic love.
and that's what it made me think of and um i think it's cool in the sense that you absolutely could
have you know taken this piece and animated it but i i i don't think it needed it it's it's
perfectly like it says what it was it needs to say as a still image but now that you said it, it's a good idea for like a lyric video or something like that,
I'm gonna think about it for sure. Thank you. Thank you for the idea.
Absolutely. And that's one of those things that I've been just ridiculously having too much fun
and spending way too many credits with AI. especially now that you can do like opening and closing frames
and stuff like that. My favorite use of AI is to take like a heavily intentional composition that
I made by hand and then use it to animate it. And man, some of the results are just mind blowing,
so much fun. So that's, that's, that's the first thing that comes to mind if you wanted to make a perfectly looping like working gear factory in there you could just give it the same start and
end frame um and probably have a lot of fun with your results yes yes yes totally uh what do you
use uh to to animate it um i'm still somewhat reliant on Leonardo AI,
and my favorite model within it is still Motion 2.0
because it's affordable.
They do actually have Veo 3 and a fast version of Veo.
And the only thing I can't stand about that
is that it takes out of its square format.
If you have something in square format that you give it as an input.
So, you know, there's still things that you learn the hard way and like have to like alter and figure out which models to use.
But yeah, motion 2.0 within Leonardo. sometimes we'll pull up korea.ai and use their variety of uh they have tons of models available
through there for for video animation okay okay okay thank you thank you i'll i'll ask
later in your dm so i can sure take a note yeah i'll send you some links absolutely
thank you thank you thank you and I guess while
we're on the subject let's go ahead and close out talking about the gym thread
I'd love to hear more about the Luciana piece this mixed photography clipping
collage it's really it's really really intriguing yes it's a it was part of a project I made in college. I did like 500
pins, handmade pins, and Luciana was one of these pins. I used to use a lot of fashion magazines from my mom back in my house so
it has like a little little pieces of like fabric and texture and also I used
to print my own art like I used to go to like a store to print my own drawings and paintings
so I can reuse them to make other collages.
So it's like the result of that, of my own drawing and painting.
I always use these lines, black and white lines, because I like shadow and light.
So it's kind of like this representation of shadow and light.
And a little bit of fashion and a little bit of, you know, street urban kind of flow.
And a little bit mysterious as always.
Like I never show everything.
I just show a little bit so people can question themselves or like investigate a little bit
or go a little bit further or maybe see other pieces I've made so they can find more sense in
what I want to say. So yeah, it was part of this process of making a bunch of handmade pins
that I gave away, by the way. I gave away all the pins uh then i used to watch people in my city with my pins
so it was really fun i even get actually in right now i i have some friends that send me like hey i
i still have your pin you know like and they send pictures and they have it on like their bags or in their t-shirts
or you know it's it was a really really cool project and i love making like cultural impact
every time i that's what i try to do with my music and and my art that's beautiful i love that. And just to clarify with this specific crop, is this then essentially a macro photo of the pin as it was or was there collage?
Yes. Okay.
Yeah, it's cool.
And it's a great example of something I try to tell my friends in real life when they're like trying to process NFTs.
nfts it's like quite literally like just like how a photographer can stage anything in the world
and like put it in a frame and present it as art with intention that that anything can become an
nft in the same way like just because you have a physical collage like my wife i know is listening
down there as anonymous uh like like she could literally take a her iphone or and like take a photo of a
specific part of one of her collages and curate it as its own unique piece uh and i just feel like
that's one of those kind of missing links and people kind of having that oh that's a cool extra
thing we can do with things we've created and i don't't know, I love that. I absolutely love that. And I think this is a good example of that example of a use case is making iterations and derivatives of
pieces that speak their own message. Totally. I always say that to people like
We have to be free with the art and in life in general.
we have to be free, you know, like we have to be free with the art and in life in general.
So we can do whatever we want with our art and with our creations.
And that's also what I tell to people when I try to onboard them into Web3.
You can literally take a picture of this and make it an NFT.
And they're like, for real? Like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let's do it right now.
Help me.
Like, you know, because taking that picture is also difficult, as you said,
like you have to be really careful,
and it has to be like a quality picture, you know?
So I even if it's something like a fragment or something already made,
I try to take care of the details and the quality every time.
And I appreciate the emphasis there
and actually makes me want to say something about the other end of that,
which is that I absolutely feel like defending my community, like Tezos.
And there are absolutely times that I've told friends about this
and they've been like, oh, you mean I can just do this and put it up and make a quick buck? And I'm like, actually,
no, this isn't for you. Like, it really doesn't matter to most of the people I interact with that
like, that example is still done with care and intention and artsiness, you know?
Yes, totally. I think that's also an important thing to say,
the intention you do things in life and in art.
What's your intention?
That's really important for sure.
Real quick, I just have to give a shout out
to Ryan Tanaka, who apparently is inceptioning the space.
If you go to Ryan Tanaka's page, he is actually live streaming the space.
It's a streamception.
And I've got to wonder if that's why the room isn't a little bit more full than usual.
Some less familiar faces.
So thank you guys for continuing to innovate and figure out ways to spread the love and the word
and the efforts of people in the Tezos community.
The whole point of this show
and many shows like it in the space
are just to continue giving the artists
and the community members a voice
and an opportunity to be seen and heard and appreciated
for the depth that is often not, you know, realized.
And it continues to happen over and over and over again, where these artists come up and
we hear these, these life, deep, passionate, like inspirational stories, regardless of
how many followers they have.
From, from, from the, from the smallest artist to the grandest artist, you're going to find
people with degrees
and serious intent behind what they're doing.
And it's one of the things that continues making me love Tezos more and more.
That being said, I just wanted to say thank you guys.
This is Artsy Friday with Tezos Commons.
We have Kryptonio here co-hosting, DJing,
and we have Nin X here as our guest today. Really appreciate every single one
of you. Just a couple reminders. If you are seeing people in the space going above and beyond,
make sure to nominate them for the Tezos Community Rewards Program. It's our way of recognizing the
people who show up, build, support others, and push things forward for the Tezos community.
If someone's making an impact, let
them know it counts. Nominate them at tezoscommons.org slash rewards or tag their post with Tezos CRP.
Hashtag Tezos CRP. This helps make sure the contributors get to credit through the credit
they earned. Another thing that's the ongoing initiative, this is my personal baby, is the
Tez article. If you see artists in the space that
inspire you, it's as simple as just going into the comments and hashtag Tez, capital A-R-T,
article. Every month I read an article that spotlights five different artists in the space
based on your nominations. I would like to continue making that list longer and longer so
that we can just go every month to a wheel of names and pick five and give more and more artists in the space a
special spotlight and article form. So if you have any artists in the space that are motivating you,
inspiring you, or you just like their art, hashtag TezArticle and tell them why. As you know, like
that also means a lot. It can go a long way. Like don't just hashtag. I mean, you can,
but it takes a few more moments to be like,
Hey, I like this piece.
This is why.
Anyway, thank you guys so much.
I just wanted to get those few announcements out.
We can chat some more with Nina here.
We will probably have an opening section here in a moment.
If anybody wants to come ask questions and just a reminder that the
questions today are to be ask questions uh and just a reminder that the questions today
are to be directed towards nina and their art art experiences because um we have a community
call on the last friday of every month for uh sharing your projects looks like we actually
have a guest already up what's up tech mental how are you today hey what's going on uh doing okay productive productive
uh what's up to all the freaks and geeks all usual suspects in the tesla community
uh hope everyone's doing well today um but yeah just it's great to see nana up on here on stage
and getting her digital flowers and uh she is a very important component
within the Tesla's community,
within the digital art and music community
and within the Spanish speaking community as well.
She holds it down just very much so.
And I actually wanted to ask her a question
if I could do it in my broken Spanish,
if that's okay with the with the council
for sure go ahead
hola que tal nena tech mental key primeramente que bueno verte acá aquà con todos nosotros
básicamente describiendo la historia tuya como artista como persona como una persona que
que ha pasado por todo en la vida para llegar a este momento que con todo que te han quitado con
todo que te han dado en lo que era necesario para llegar a la cana y con eso mucho orgullo
sabe estar aquà contigo lo que quisiera saber es que creo que dijiste que desde venezuela cómo has cambiado
el arte tuyo cómo ha cambiado la inspiración tuyo que fue una cosa de ir de ahà de sudamérica de
desde ese o sea de ese lugar a europa a francia a paris y cómo ha cambiado tu vista de inspiración como arte y cómo se ha ido a
otros sitios era posible que usted se quisiera que se quedara amenazó y tal vez el arte no ha cambiado
pero como en las cosas de la vida cambió y llegaste a un sitio donde ahora la inspiración tuve, tu imaginación, cambió por lo que sea el environment que cambió.
Asà que, esa es la pregunta y cambia. Gracias.
Wow, gracias. Gracias, Tecman. Un gusto conocerte, un gusto hablar contigo.
Gracias por subirte y participar, hablar conmigo. Lo aprecio muchÃsimo.
Tu pregunta está muy hermosa. and participate, talk to me, I appreciate it a lot. Your question is very beautiful.
I think I can translate it and respond in English so everybody can understand if that's okay with you.
Absolutely.
Sounds dope. how my art has changed since from Venezuela and now that I'm living in France. I don't live in
Paris, I live in the south of France. I always go through to the south. I like the south.
And I really appreciate your question and your intervention. I really appreciate it and I thank you a lot.
Thank you for your kind words and your appreciation.
So my art in that moment when I was studying
and taking it more seriously was a little bit darker
in the moment when I was in Venezuela
because Venezuela is going through a
dictator since I don't know 25 years almost all my life I'm 33 right now and
it's almost the only thing I know so it's it was like a portrait of my
situation the context in my country.
So that's why I always use certain colors like black and white and red
to represent a little bit the violence and the context of my story.
It hasn't changed a lot, actually, but now I use more colors.
It hasn't changed a lot, actually, but now I use more colors.
I'm trying to expand a little bit my vision and to learn about colorigraphy.
I don't know if that exists in English, but I'm trying to learn a little bit more about combinations and all the psychology of the color and how to integrate.
Sorry, I'm like having a moment.
What is the word for that in English?
Colorigrafia.
I don't know.
I don't really know.
I'm going to investigate.
I like that word.
I think you made it up, but I like it.
I always invent words.
I don't know.
I invented my own language, I think.
Yeah, I can't even guess what the word would be for that in English anyway I'm gonna
investigate and now I'll let you know so yeah I think it has changed a little bit
in the color but I think the theme it's always the same, you know, like my life and what I see in life, a little bit of order in chaos.
I appreciate a lot of everyday life, you know, like I think life is an ongoing study.
So I try to represent my life and what I what I see in others and in my environment, where I'm living and what I'm
living in the moment. So it hasn't changed a lot, but I think that's the only thing I would say
it has changed, the colors. I appreciate that answer. again thank you for continuing to share your art and evolving as an
artist and um and yeah and I think there's so much more colors for you to discover and to uh
kind of express so yeah I appreciate you appreciate you too now one more thing I wanted to ask you
about while we still have time
is with your experience
with the Musica Web 3 community
and the Nostalgia 2000 release
and if there's anything else in the works
just kind of curious
for sure, for sure
Musica W3 is a community
of independent musicians
worldwide but we try to concentrate our energy
in the Spanish speakers mostly. So we try to empower musicians and artists from South America
especially, but you're all welcome, so if you want to join the community just text me we can we can talk about it a little bit more in depth
and you're all invited to be part of it all right so that's it I'm a co-founder
we found we created the community like three years ago now.
And what we do is that we bring resources and education for free to musicians to onboard them into Web3,
to give them new tools and new information so they can also share their music and their art in this kind of ecosystem. And I'm always trying to push the community to get more into Tezos.
So we make collaborative drops every month.
We stopped a little bit for this year because we're trying to
reorganize and do other type of events but we normally do collaborative drops
every month between musicians and visual artists. So we dropped one in an object.
It's been like a month or two and it was a total success. We even got to be on the
front page of Object so we were really really happy and grateful for that. There was a bunch
of artists, visual artists from the Tezos community. There's animations, GIF and 3D art. And with the musicians, it was all inspired by the nostalgia of the 2000s. So that was like the
theme of this drop. I invite you all to check it out because there are still some songs and visual
art that are available and the music and the art is really, really amazing.
So I invite you all to check it out.
And if you want to participate,
if you want to be part of these collaborative drops,
you can join whenever you want.
You're all invited into the community.
We have a Telegram channel.
We have here on X, we have also a chat, an open chat, so you can join.
Yeah, that's what we do.
We try to empower and give tools to musicians so they can, you know, expand their vision and their art into the Web3 community and ecosystem.
Well, that's beautiful
and absolutely appreciated. We need more
and more and more of that.
I think this... I do want to give
everybody one last opportunity. If anybody
has any questions for Nenna that wants to
come up, now's the last call.
We do have an
outro song to also play for you all that I think you're going to come up. Now's the last call. We do have a outro song to also play for y'all
that I think you're gonna really enjoy.
And this has just been an awesome space.
Thank you so much.
It's been a great conversation.
You speak incredible English.
I don't wanna hear you ever apologize for that again.
Okay.
I have to practice a little bit more

like flow in english but thank you what did i just say

thing that is really helping kind of bring
life to the music community

if you would like to take it away we have an amazing outro song for you today.
This is called La Luz by Nen X
and produced by Arbstein.
And I will come back to you.
We'll have a little mini discussion about the song after
and then we'll close out. I got the chills in me Tú y yo solo somos freaky
She's in the back of me
Pero que digas que sÃ
Como comida caliente me la como
Te vuelves agua pues me la tomo
Me pregunta que somos
Baby you know that is true
I only want you Yo de on my skin like a tattoo
your clothes all over my room
all over my room
i have left me on my skin
and you're my skin
and you're my skin
and you're my skin
and you're my skin and you're my skin Y pasa la vida, yo no olvido a calia Sin invitación tú venÃas a un recuerdo como tú me haces sentir
Tú me haces sentir
Baby, you know that it's true, you know what I'm doing for you
Yo dejo bien prendida la luz, you must know oh
Yes!
Really, really cool song.
Really well produced.
Tell us a little bit more about it.
Sure.
Well, this song is called La Luz, The Light.
The producer is actually one of my friends.
He's in Venezuela.
And the artist is called Arb Stein.
This was a part of the collaborative job for Musica W3.
And it makes part of the collection.
And yeah, I made the...
Yeah, tell me.
Just to clarify then,
the artist for the visual work
was Arbstein?
Yes, yes.
I read that wrong.
Thank you for clarifying.
No, it's all right.
Yeah, she made the art.
She's an amazing Tezos artist,
by the way. She's a 3 the art. She's an amazing Tezos artist, by the way.
She's a 3D artist. She makes like alien flowers.
That's how she describes it.
And I think it resonated a lot with me.
We made this match, so I think it came out perfectly, my song, with her art.
It's a perfect combo.
I invite you to check it out and listen to it good,
because I know X is not the best for streaming music.
So I invite you all to check it out, for real.
And it's a really simple song.
It's a pop song, an R&b song that it's a little bit
romantic like it speaks about the connection between two persons that like they blossom with
the presence of each other you know so it's like they give each other a light and it's like they make their compliment.
It's a really, really cute song, a really beautiful song. I made the guitars myself.
I have an acoustic guitar here with me, luckily, that my father gave me when I was a little bit more younger. So I really appreciate to be able to play my own instruments and to record my own music.
I'm really grateful for that.
And to just keep exploring and releasing music to, you know, to get better at it,
music to to you know to get to get better at it to be a better songwriter to be a better singer
to be a better artist also and to collaborate with other artists because sometimes i i just
want to make music or i just want to make the art you know so it's really great to be able to
collaborate forgive me for not knowing but are you on a team for
Test Tone Season 3?
Well, then I think
that I heard something about being
able to invite guest artists
this season. I need to
verify.
If that is a thing, I think
our team, Team Seed Phrase, would really
potentially enjoy having you as a guest artist
in some upcoming match.
So I'll check in on that.
I'd love that for sure.
Let me know and I'll be on it.
I'll be on it for sure.
Sounds great.
Well, again, thank you guys so much.
This has been such a great chat.
Thank you so much for giving us your time, Nana.
It was amazing to hear more about your story
and your experiences with Tezos.
I really appreciate every single one of you for being here with Tezos Commons for Artsy Friday.
This has been another amazing space and we will see you again next Friday. Same time,
actually not same time, correct myself. Next Friday we're switching it up and going one hour
earlier. We'll make sure to post it so everybody knows, but just to say it out loud for everybody here
that is usual attending.
We're going to start an hour earlier next week.
But thank you guys so much.
I hope you have an absolutely incredible weekend.
Stay artsy.
We love you.
And we'll talk to you soon.
Thank you, everybody.
