This art is my reflection on the crazy meme coin season that was happening 5-6 weeks ago in the crypto space (I started this artwork on 9th May and completed it on 6 June of 2023).  
 
In my experience this art radiates with fun, joy and happiness, yet for some of these painted frogs this experience is mixed with the horror of falling (while most frogs are very excited to fly for the first time in their lives).  
 
It was inspired by a rare natural phenomenon of frog rain. Google it, it's real: Frog rain is a rare meteorological phenomenon in which frogs get swept up in a storm, travel miles and then fall from the sky when the clouds release the water. It doesn't happen frequently, but it does happen in parts of the world.

On the first day of creating this painting I came up with the overall composition while generating thousands of frogs falling from the sky using Stable Diffusion Ai. Then I spent 3 weeks painting all the details and creating a collage work of selected generated frogs. Later I painted over each frog so each one is anatomically and color correct and has a unique character of its own. 
To conclude, technically it is a mixed media artwork: ai assisted collage and digital painting.  

I hope this artwork will lift up the mood of everyone whos looking at it. 

Peace, fam

They knew our limits, political, biological, psychological. And so they helped us formulate Cosmoline, the greenish gel in which we are all packed and preserved like fruits in a can, not awake, not asleep, but not cold - not frozen - just quiet and contented while the space frames carry us to where we're going.
Some of us call it Warm Sleep. Old-timers will remember that Cosmoline was a patented petroleum-based product that helped keep rifles and guns and equipment from rusting...
The chemistry behind our version of Cosmoline helped foster a thousand medical advances, of course.

The Chain is crypto-art. The Chain is an art chain of Ethereum-based NFTs artistically and cryptographically linked together. A new block on The Chain is an NFT artistically inspired by the previous block and cryptographically linked to it. 

The Chain is therefore a mix of an Exquisite Corpse and Chinese Whispers on a cryptographic continuum. The Chain is visually a never-ending chain of artworks and cryptographically a continuous string of hexadecimal characters of the SHA-256 hashes of its blocks.  

The Chain

Inspired by Angie Taylor, who has been "drowning in the paint, overwhelmed by it. Of course to cover up fear, she makes a joke - that paint and hair cannot have perfect white spots like this."

Angie is a big inspiration for me, so this artwork is my portrait of her, inspired by her artwork for THE CHAIN and her art/legacy in general.

Also when I"ve been creating this artwork I was inspired by punk culture and glitch art movement.

Creative power is the power of awareness through which samsara and nirvana individually manifest. It is like the one light of the sun that by day causes the lotus blossom to open and the night-blooming lily to close. 

Display is simply awareness displayed through its own radiance in the same way that a flame is displayed through the light it sheds and the sun through its own sunlight. 

Ornament refers to the fact that when anything appears and is perceived in its full array, this appearance is an adornment for awareness that is self-arisen. It is like a rainbow, the sun, the moon, the planets, and the stars, which are adornments for the sky itself. 

For all these reasons, it should be understood that all phenomena appearing in the mind are nonexistent from the first moment of their being perceived.

CREATIVE POWER

Self-portrait by artist Yura Miron visually representing the experience of Ego Death.

"
May all beings have happiness and the cause of happiness.

May they be free of suffering and the cause of suffering.

May they never be disassociated from the supreme happiness which is without suffering.

May they remain in the boundless equanimity, free from both attachment to close ones and rejection of others.
"

Turbo Toad"s Adventures in the Innerspace

TURBO INNERSPACE

This artwork feels like a true Breakthrough in the series of artworks titled Primordial Expanse that Ive been working on since I joined the cryptoart community in ~late2018. Primordial Expanse is one of a few series that Ive been focused on working on during the past 4 years and this artwork marks ~half of the series and Ill need maybe? ~4 more years to complete it alongside with my few other ongoing series of artworks. Primordial Expanse series was inspired by my DMT experience. I remember that same day I sold my Genesis piece on SuperRare! Coincidence?

DMT was a life changing experience and I still can remember a lot of audio/visual/smell/feelings from my first experience of inhaling nn-dmt tryptamines. Ive done it with an experienced shaman who did a proper ceremony. It was a Breakthrough experience: Ive been catapulted into another dimension right through many wonderfully animated geometrical patterns, into the space beyond time: all the space was covered in particles that were moving in wavelike patterns. This pattern was a Sentient, All-Pervading Love and Kindness that was Aware of my presence. In joy I was laughing with tears in my eyes, Ive been experiencing a Pure Blessing Since then Ive been communicating with this experience in the Primordial Expanse series. As a visionary artist I see my task to reflect my own visionary experience in the most life-like and detailed ways, as close to my own multidimensional experience as I can. Why? to communicate it with other people who have had a similar experience or others who would like to see and hear how it feels like to have a full blown psychedelic breakthrough experience. 

For creating this artwork Ive learned a new technique that adds all those moving particles, mirriads of little voxels synchronically moving in waves Ahh This brings my artwork so much closer to my actual visionary experience! I will certainly add it to my pipeline of creating the rest of the following arts from the Primordial Expanse series - of course in case I will be still alive and healthy and will continue to have all that I need to continue creating these artworks. You know I live in Ukraine and the war is full blown as it was for more than a year now Anything can happen with AnyOne, Anytime, especially while the Ukrainian neighbor is Ruzzian fascist Pederation. 

Music was written especially for this series by me at my studio in Kyiv in the year of 2022. A year of war, bear market and depression - in my experience. Im so glad we are finally in 2023. Victory is coming soon. This summer, maybe? Lets pray for the Best!

This artwork comes with an infinite objects video print to the first collector. Dm me on twitter @YuraMironArt or yuramiron.art@gmail.com after purchase for the video print delivery info. Thank you for your attention and interest!

From Dzogchen sereis, that I"ve started creating in 2019 - by generating lots of mindblowing images using various combinations of BigGANs and DeepDreemGenerator. Later I"ve selected my favorite outputs and overpainted them in 2020-2021. It"s been unreleased in a year of 2022

In this work I imagine an alternative reality story, where Vincent Van Gogh and Frida Khalo are living in the same time and place. We all know that both of their lives were full of pain and suffering. Out of compassion I"ve imagined their love story, where they live happily together. We are going inside of Vincents dream and see it unfolding in a combination of their iconic styles. No pain or suffering included, only joy of being with a loved One. 

The process of creating was very similar to my Basquait + Klimt and Dali + Grey works for these series. 

Music was also written by me specifically for this artwork.  
Created during May-July of 2022 by yours truly, Yura Miron.

Vincent & Frida

Truly speaking, from the absolute point of view, there really does not exist any separation between the relative condition and its true nature, in the same way that a mirror and the reflections in it are in fact one indivisible whole. However, our situation is such that it is as if we have come out of the mirror and are now looking at the reflections that are appearing in it. Unaware of our own nature of clarity, purity, and limpidity, we consider the reflections to be real, developing aversion and attachment. Thus, instead of these reflections being the means for us to discover our own true nature, they become a factor that conditions us. And we live distracted by the relative condition, attaching great importance to everything.

This audio-visual composition was created by Yura Miron in Kyiv, Ukraine during 2022 and completed in the beginning of 2023. Part of Primordial Expance series. I have been working on this series since the early 2019 and currently I am on half way of completing the series.

Distracted by the relative condition

Into the Ether by Ralph Steadman

Delving deep into his imagination and Greys Anatomy, Steadman has pieced this creature together as if he were Dr Frankenstein building his monster, bit by bit from the cadavers of thieves and rogues. It scratches in the dirt with its eagles talons, no majestic wings to give it flight and dignity. No, this chimera, with limbs of bone and sinew could have stepped from a Hieronymus
Bosch hellscape as it chews and chomps on the unfortunate souls who fall into it hideous maw. They are lost and they know it.

Synesthetic

This artwork is my attempt to transfer my synesthetic experience to you in the form of 3D animation. Synesthesia is a neurological condition in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic and involuntary experiences in another sensory or cognitive pathway. I am able to see music as complex 3D objects, it is a form of synesthesia known as music-to-color synesthesia or auditory-visual synesthesia. This type of synesthesia involves perceiving visual shapes, textures, and movements in response to hearing music. For example, a person with music-to-color synesthesia may see a spinning sphere of vibrant colors when listening to a particular piece of music, or they may see intricate patterns and geometric shapes that move and change in response to different musical elements.

The experience of seeing music as complex 3D objects can vary from person to person, with some individuals perceiving highly detailed and vivid visual imagery, while others may experience more abstract shapes or patterns. The specific shapes, colors, and movements perceived can be consistent or change over time, and can be influenced by factors such as the tempo, rhythm, melody, and harmonies of the music. Like other forms of synesthesia, music-to-color synesthesia is thought to be a result of cross-activation between different areas of the brain that process music and visual information.
