Artists are the unsung heroes of web3. They create art, bring us joy, and, for many of us, design our digital identities. But they often don’t get the recognition they deserve. So, we’re highlighting some of our favorites.
Here are four Solana NFT artists whose work we love.
Peanug
Twitter: @Peanug420
Gallery: Exchange.art
Art form: Multidisciplinary art and VR sculpting
Peanug’s a lifelong creator. Before becoming a Solana OG, he made anime music videos, produced music, and shot street photography. Today, he creates VR art. Whether it's his graffiti-style artwork, 3D-GLB editions, or metaverse experiences, Peanug always pushes creative limits. And the Solana community loves him for it.
Tainaker
Twitter: @Tainaker
Gallery: Exchange.art
Art form: Multidisciplinary art
This Panamanian artist’s style is unmistakable. It’s cartoony, colorful, and playful. In his dreamy cartoon worlds, he creates cute characters and tells their stories through fine details and vivid emotions. When you see a Tainaker piece, you'll know it.
LIGHTS
Twitter: @LIGHTS_artist
Gallery: Exchange.art
Art form: Photography
LIGHTS is a blockchain photographer. He captures photos of stunning real-world sights and mints them as 1:1s on Solana. His signature style of “glitch” photography features outdoors environments—such as deserts, beaches and city skylines—as beautiful distortions. Our favorite piece? Lights of Solana Beach (for obvious reasons).
NYAUMON
Twitter: @nyaumon
Gallery: Famous Foxes Artist Profile
Art form: Illustration
Nyaumon is an art enthusiast and experimenter. When she’s not collaborating with top Solana NFT projects, such as Famous Fox Federation, Just Ape, and The Chimpions, she’s honing her craft. You’ll find her sketching new ideas, recreating PFPs in different styles, and producing fan art. And then sharing it all on Twitter. Her ever-evolving style often centers around adventurous scenes that feature cute characters and bright, beautiful colors. It’s a delight!
