Positioned against an oriental backdrop with a checkered floor, Aleksandra Art stands illuminated by the light filtering through grand windows. She is now both the artist and the subject. The room, dressed in colonial furniture, is painted in calming shades of blue, accented with vibrant yellow and orange lines tracing the ceiling. Dressed in an orange blouse, Aleksandra's silhouette becomes the central focus. Her long hair cascades freely, an emblem of her unrestrained spirit. Those piercing eyes, locked onto the viewer, offer an insight into her soul—a space where serenity coexists with the silent echoes of a tumultuous year marked by conflict in her homeland. 
 
This portrait isn't just a simple self-representation; it's a culmination of a journey that began in 2019 when Aleksandra delved into the world of AI tools. Her commitment goes beyond mere creation—she has been an unwavering pillar, championing projects that uplift and empower the communities that have grown around her. This self-portrait, the inaugural beacon of the 'Web3 People' series, captures not just her image but her essence and her indomitable spirit.

Arthur Breitman, the innovative mind behind Tezos, stands nonchalantly in his unique salmon costume, a sartorial choice that hints at his eccentric and unapologetic spirit. Behind him, a lineup of vintage suitcases forms an intriguing backdrop. Each piece, varying in size, color, and age, carries an aura of its own, much like the tokens on his blockchain, each holding a unique story within their digital confines. They're not just for show; these suitcases symbolize Breitman's journey through the ever-evolving landscape of blockchain technology. They represent the trials and triumphs, the endless nights of coding, the initial skepticism met with unwavering conviction, and the gratification of seeing artists embrace his platform to express their creativity freely. His salmon suit might attract immediate attention, but those suitcases, they narrate the unspoken chronicles of his path-breaking innovation in blockchain technology.

Hic et Nunc

"COME AI YOU ARE" takes the viewer into a surreal encounter of vibrant creativity, featuring two key figures in the world of Web3 - Moxarra Gonzalez, the punchy illustrator from San Luis Potosí who meshes traditional Mexican imagery with pop culture, and Aleksandra Art, the artist behind this intriguing series of AI portraits. They stand together against a backdrop of pastel-toned surreal animals; a chimera of a lion and kangaroo, a mischievous rabbit, and a creature that's a strange mashup of the feline and lagomorph families. Rendered in white with "AI" picked out in green, the title "COME AI YOU ARE" is a playful and provocative twist on Nirvana's legendary anthem "Come as You Are". It resonates with the ethos of acceptance and individuality encapsulated in the original song, but reinvents it in the context of the AI-driven art world, inviting all to partake in the digital art revolution as they are, regardless of traditional conventions or norms. Ultimately, this composition pays tribute to the collective strength and camaraderie within the crypto art community. As they look in the same direction, it is a testament to their shared enthusiasm for pushing boundaries.
