Importance of "telling your story" in building a community!

Telling your personal story is the only true way to build a community that will support you long-term.

The goal is not just to sell this one piece or NFT.

THE GOAL IS TO BE ABLE TO LIVE OFF YOUR ART WITHOUT HAVING TO WORK ON OTHER JOBS.

That is possible only if you open up entirely and tell a story behind your art.

You are not selling NFT, you are selling EMOTION, EXPERIENCE, LIFE...

Dear Ivan, thank you for opening up this important discussion.  You have really highlighted something crucial here. Connecting with community on a deeper level by sharing the stories and emotions behind art works seems fundamental. It's about more than just transactional exchanges; it's about forging genuine connections.

We're genuinely eager to delve deeper into your personal journey and the inspirations behind your artwork. Could you share with us the key factors that fuel your creative process? Additionally, we'd appreciate your insights on how to best engage our community in a meaningful exchange of experiences. We believe that the community is equally excited to discover your latest creations and observe the evolution of your artistic expression.

Lastly, we want to emphasize that the core mission of the Endemic platform is to empower artists to sustain their lives through their art, which seamlessly resonates with the vision you've shared. We're looking forward to more dialogues and eagerly anticipating your upcoming projects!"

Dear Ivan,

Thank you for sparking such a crucial discussion on this platform. I completely agree with your point that artists pour immense emotion, experience, and effort into their creations and practices. Since joining Endemic, I've been thrilled with the myriad ways we can communicate here. It's great to see how new topics can open up discussions and debates about artists' inspirations, motivations, and what propels their work, as well as their interactions with both traditional and new media. Also, I really appreciate the art feed feature for quick info sharing.

I've already shared some insights, but I plan to dive even deeper into discussions about my and not just mine artistic works, their underlying motivations, and deeper drivers like environmental themes, communication, women's issues, and the use of diverse media opportunities. Art has been an inseparable part of who I am for as long as I can remember. While my primary focus is on my artistic practice, my interests also extend to art production and curation.

It would be great to hear more about your background and your artistic interests and aspirations.
