NFT Artist Interview: Konstantinos Skopelitis
How did you get started creating such beautiful Art?
I started the journey self-taught. From my super hero friend in my early childhood to my lady friends. A big gap before art found me again.
I felt the need to explore new skills, seeking professional training eventually attending School of Fine Arts was the next step. It prepares young artists to take exams for the Fine Art University. I developed my skills. I learnt a lot about myself too. I remember myself holding a pencil and drawing since I was a child, creating whatever triggered my wild imagination. As the years went by and my pencil became a brush, a charcoal, a pen. The paper turned to a canvas and painting became a self-discovery journey.
What is the one thing you cannot live without?
If you could travel anywhere in the world where would you go?
What are your other passions besides art?
I love travelling. Drawing and painting while listening to my favourite indie music. My dog Robbie and it’s crazy moments. Like the time that his tale jump into my colours and create it’s own paintings to the walls of my studio. They are still there. Running by the sea with my headphones.Who is your favorite artist?
Who is your favorite NFT artist and what piece of NFT art did you miss out on?
Do you make other forms of art?
How did you come up with your specific style?
I like the faces I see, how I can work on them. Do they inspire me? Of course then do. Inspiration lies within everything. A waitress in a two century bistro bar in Montmartre. A lady singer in a bridge in Prague. A girl smoking standing against a wall somewhere in East London. A graffiti in East Berlin. The woman standing next to me, the most fulfilling element of my life.
Every inspiration is a new journey. Every journey is a new challenge, a challenge I am always willing to take up.
Why women?
Their faces mirroring their emotions almost effortlessly. I capture the moment I want to keep. Do I portray my own likes and beliefs on them?
Maybe. A friend noticed that many have blue eyes. She asked me what does it mean. Is it my wife’s blue eyes? The contrast it creates with black? I have to think about it. I’m still discovering myself.
How has your style evolved over the years?
