The atmospheres in his work is often presented in a dream or limbo-like state, with elements of surrealism.

Using photo manipulation, illustration, and collage, Pierre has found the perfect balance within each medium he utilizes, creating a diverse set terrifyingly beautiful pieces of art. His art can be found in Cosmopolitan, Vogue Italia, Hi-Fructose Magazine and Vice.

“I am a painter and I mostly work in series and in large scale and oil on canvas. Each series is based on a specific location, that I try to examine more closely in my paintings. I have just finished the work on my last series „Sculpting in Time“, which was on view at Fridman Gallery in NYC until early January. The paintings show rooms of the urban utopia Arcosanti, which was designed by Frank Ilyod Wright student Paolo Soleri in the desert of Arizona. Ideally, my work is shifting somewhere between fact and fiction. The rooms shown in „Sculpting in Time“ become chambers of wonders, in the sense of baroque imaginariums. I try to fill a ruin, so to speak, with life again. But you will never find people in my paintings.”
Jon Ching is a self-trained artist originally from Kaneohe, Hawaii and currently lives and works in Los Angeles, California. Steeped in natural beauty of O’ahu, Hawai’i, his island upbringing instilled in him indigenous lessons of appreciation and respect for nature, forming the foundation of his fascination with the natural and wild world, which deeply influences and drives his current work.
Jon’s devoted art practice and detailed realism is inspired by the interconnectedness of nature. His work is a surreal imagining of what limitless wonders and combinations nature can produce. New creatures and symbioses emerge in his meticulously rendered oil paintings, exemplifying the endless potential of life on Earth through metaphor and allegory.
Jon’s ultimate hope is to inspire love and admiration for the universally unique beauty and intrigue of our planet. He regularly works to bring awareness to endangered species, the current mass extinction crisis and climate change and continues to partner with environmental organizations in fundraising and educational efforts.
Meet the Ksoids, an impossibly addictive NFT collectible that not only creates a world all its own, but also helps protect our world.
Each one of these curious creatures was generated by a hand-crafted algorithm and then lovingly selected by creator Danil Krivoruchko to join an elite group of 1,000 Grade-A Ksoids, all available to the discerning investor.
The first few drops will be sold on the NFT marketplace OpenSea, and available in randomly selected packs of 1, 4, and 10. It’s also possible there will be a few easter eggs thrown into the mix, but that’s all we’re saying for now.

Thankfully adopting a Ksoid doesn’t have to mean decimating either their habitat or ours. In an attempt to counteract NFTs’ negative environmental impact, Ksoids will work to reduce their footprint through the purchase of carbon offsets.
Not only that, but 20% of all profits will be donated to the Orangutan Outreach, an organization dedicated to protecting orangutans in their native forests, while also caring for orphaned orangutans.
Brooklyn-based Myshli Studio was founded by Danil Krivoruchko, a motion designer, director, and visual effects artist. Krivoruchko's NFT works are already well-known to digital art collectors, having been featured on platforms such as KnownOrigin and Foundation; the Ksoids will mark his premiere on OpenSea. His digital art work is also well-known in the film community. Last October, a collaborative group of designers and artists under the direction of Krivoruchko used 3D-imaging to transform the sci-fi novel "Blindsight" by Peter Watts into a short film. The movie has won over a dozen awards, including the Best Animation Award at the Miami International Science Fiction Film Festival. In the past 17 years, Danil has collaborated with clients such as Apple, Nike, Boeing, Verizon, and Intel, to name a few.
