Each month we’ll be reaching out to new and exciting artists selling their work on OpenSea and asking them to introduce themselves to our growing community. Here’s Emma Tumanyan, Miguelgarest, and Thato!

I, Emma Tumanyan, am an artist from Armenia. I began to draw at the age of eight. I love to paint in the style of expressionism. My paintings mainly express human emotions, state of mind, sometimes social themes or events that happen to us. Very often, when communicating with people, I pay attention not to their words, but to their facial expressions, eye expressions, gestures.

In the center of all my paintings, there is always a person and the accompanying good and evil (both around the person and inside of him). And also I really love the play of colors, sometimes combining the incompatible. I had personal exhibitions in Armenia. Some works are in foreign galleries. Here is my collection of digital works on OpenSea.

‍I’m a digital artist creating animations in 3D and 2D style. My work is inspired by kawaii aesthetics, pop art, surrealism and video games. I joined the NFT world in December 2020 and it’s already changing my life. My first collection on OpenSea called Cuppas features 36+ cups and containers with mainly tea and coffee as well as other drinks. My defined style of adding faces to inanimate objects, mixed with bright colors, as well as my love for (or addiction to) tea is what brings to these cute animated Cuppas to life. Although it’s a small collection, Cuppas has been an instant success and I’m already working on a new collection that will be even bigger and possibly cuter. More info soon!

Besides Cuppas, I have a collection where I upload retro item inspired animations which I hopes will continue to grow overtime. Check out the Miguelgarest collection here.

Hi, I’m Thato, I’ve been making and publishing digital works for over 2 and have various art collections across the NFT ecosystem. With the Expression Audio NFT collection, I wanted to mix things up and explore the early but growing movement of audio NFTs. The collection is loosely focused on the combination of sorrow/happiness that music often brings and my melodies are generated by chaining a series of Ableton devices together and building patterns based on set parameters.

The overarching direction for the project is as of yet undefined but I think blockchain-backed ownership offers huge opporuninites for musicians and I’m keen to be a part of early explorations in the space! Keep your eyes peeled for more NFTs over the coming weeks and months.
