Natived

Natived, a digital artist from Italy, class of '92, has been working with audio and video software for 15 years. Starting with creating free graphics, websites, and music, and performing shows for minimal rewards, Natived's artistic journey has never ceased. Instead, it continues to evolve, drawing inspiration from the daily lessons of life.

In October 2021, Natived minted his first NFT experiment on the Tezos blockchain. Since then, Natived has been regularly minting and exploring the web3 scene on three main blockchains: Tezos, Ethereum, and Solana. This exploration has also influenced his artistic style, incorporating glitches, pixels, distortions, nostalgic colors, optical illusions, and seamless loops to distort the viewer's perception of time.

Working seamlessly between 3D and 2D, Natived aims to capture how the web3 scene and NFTs are gradually and permanently changing the way we perceive art. Moreover, this shift opens up new possibilities for artists who have struggled to make a living from their craft. Nostalgia, retro-futurism, and artistic references serve as key elements in Natived's works.
