    Sculpting Dreams in 3D: A Journey Inspired by Nature

    My name is Sasha Vinogradova, I am a digital artist, art director and Domestika teacher. And today I wanted to talk to you about art and the creative process. Have you ever thought about what art really is? To me, it's a way of communicating — a way to express what I find important and inspiring. It's a message, even if no one's there to hear it. It's like a quiet chat with the universe, trying to convey something important. And because art is a message, it stirs up feelings and creativity in people. This unspoken conversation is beautiful, global, and timeless. To be a good artist, you need to tune in to what inspires you, what makes you feel big, what makes you want to share yourself. It's not easy in a world that's always fighting for your attention, but as an artist, it's your job to sift through the noise and figure out what matters to you. For me, nature is the biggest inspiration. I grew up playing outside on my grandma's farm during the summers. I also went to art school, where we had classes outside, just soaking in nature and trying to capture it in our own way. Nature has this amazing variety, patterns, and character. It's fascinating to bring that to life.
