Yanis Georges, a French 3D artist and art director, is renowned for his sleek abstract designs and organic animations. His work often explores the concept of the future and features shimmering, multicolored worlds that suggest alternate realities. Born in Grenoble, Southeastern France, Yanis fell in love with illustration, film, and photography before moving on to 3d work.  Today, he lives in the UK with his beautiful wife and little boy.  We were lucky enough to sit down with Yanis and learn more about his amazing craft.

Can you tell us about your background and what lead you down the path to  becoming an artist and ultimately experimenting with NFTs?  

My passion is for the more graphic forms of art. I love illustration, film, photography  and all visual aspects of urban culture. Graffiti art in the 90’s had a direct influence on  my decision to become an artist. I studied art & graphic design and then worked for  various design studios and music labels in France. In early 2008, I created  ethikdesign©, a Design & Creative Studio based in my home town where I’ve worked  with many different clients, nationally and internationally. I’ve collaborated on music  videos, commercial design and artworks and have been lucky to work with some of  the most famous brands and leading artists in the creative industry.  

Aside from my more commercial work at ethikdesign, I’ve also been involved in  personal work including, ‘Everyday Project’ (2014-2016) and ‘Never Stop  Exploring’ (2016 – and ongoing ). Working on new ideas on a daily basis is great  exercise for my creative muscle and technical skills. It helps me to be disciplined but  also keeps me creatively agile.  

In March 2021, two dear friends and amazing artists in their own right, Archan Nair  and Onyro, invited me into the NFT space. It was, for me, a game changer. Today, I  am a full-time NFT artist.  

When did you mint your first NFT Collection ? What platform did you choose  and why?  

I minted my Genesis Collection “MONDRIAN 3.0” on SuperRare in April 2021. It’s a  series of 5 abstract figurative works exploring the human form. I deliberately used  quite specific tints and tones, as a nod to the Dutch pioneer of 20th century abstract  art and one of my favorite Artist, Piet Mondrian.  

I worked on this collection while my application to be approved by the SuperRare  Team was being processed. For me, tokenizing my art as a crypto-collectible on a  curated platform is very special. It allows me access to collectors who appreciate the  value of individual and limited artworks of high quality. SuperRare is a unique digital  art platform where extraordinary artists meet sophisticated, keen-eyed collectors. I  always feel SuperRare is where my journey began

Can you tell us one thing you cannot live without? (and why)  

Ha! Good question! I’ve got two answers. As an artist embedded in 21st century  digital art I could not be without my computer and graphics tablets. But as a person,  the only thing that truly matters is my family. They are the centre of my world, they  ground me and give me meaning. 

What is the one piece of NFT art you wish you had purchased but missed out  on?  

Im a big fan of Alessio De Vecchi. His motion pieces are absolutely outstanding.  Technogenic is one of my favorite.  

If you could travel anywhere in the world where would you go? Why this  location?  

Definitely, Canada ! Back in 2013, I travelled the globe with WorldRiderZ, filming and  creating 3D content for their TV Show on TLC . WorldRiderZ strive to raise  awareness of chronic kidney disease and organ transplant. It was an amazing time. I  got to be on the road everyday for over three months traveling across Canada and  the USA. The astonishing scenery, the vast, uninhabited landscapes of lakes, rivers  and incredible wild life are things I will never forget. What a privilege. 

What are your other passions besides art? Why?  

I love to dance. Well, it’s more fun than the gym! I also love to go snowboarding  when I can. And wherever I am in the world I always have to check out the local  graffiti. There’s so much inspiration out there. 

How did you come up with your specific style? How has your style evolved  over the years?  

I have spent the last decade experimenting with dramatic, living forms, bringing  simple shapes to life. I’ve been fascinated by the ambiguity of the organic and the  inorganic and how these two seemingly distinct domains, sometimes overlap. Both of  my projects, ‘Everyday’ and ‘Never Stop Exploring’ have helped me evolve my  aesthetic style. It’s also been fascinating how the evolution of digital technology has  impacted on how I create work over the years, unlocking new ideas and new designs  that would not have been technically possible just a few years ago. 

What is coming in the near future?  

I think 2023 will be another year for experimentation. Maybe combining 3D & AI,  Dynamic NFT and Motion Graphics animation. So much to explore ! I cannot wait. 

If you could collaborate with one artist who would it be?  

Any artists from the Bloom Collective ! They’re all incredible. 

Bloom is a collective of some of the worlds brightest creative talents from the NFT  industry . A design led collective that stands for the absolute highest levels of quality,  integrity, and diversity. 

Do you have any upcoming drops?  

I have just released the most significant compilation of my work on my own smart  contract, The 203 Collection. A passing and a birth from Web.2 to Web.3. A Collection of 203 1/1s 3D Artworks with an Exclusive Interactive Art Book – 

203 pieces representing over 8 years of digital creativity from my own personal  portfolio and curated by the legends ROB MOIR (Chevy_Pop) and ArchanNair.  The collection is named “203” in reference to the transition from Web2 to Web3, and  as part of this project, the original artworks will be erased from the web. This adds an  extra layer of rarity and exclusivity to the collection.
