Frenetik Void
Frenetik Void is an Argentinian digital artist based in Buenos Aires who is celebrated across physical and virtual worlds alike for the ethereal, alternate realities he creates through his mesmerizing surrealist artworks.
He is known for his bold digital surrealism style, which seamlessly incorporates elements of humanity with machinery to present futuristic interpretations of human emotion and vulnerability.
Frenetik Void has spearheaded the crypto art movement since its inception, quickly establishing himself as one of the greats in the space, while paving the way for artists and the rare digital art movement to thrive as well. He has consistently remained one of the most popular artists on MakersPlace with fantastical artworks that inspire viewers to challenge our perceptions of ourselves and the interactions we have with the world around us.
“My art is sincere and truly reflects my subjective point of view of reality”
As our lives become more intertwined with technology, the line between man and machine continues to blur. Frenetik addresses these evolving interactions through a surrealist lens that blends aspects of the contemporary with the classical. A marriage of mechanics and human vulnerability illicit strong emotional reactions and seamlessly pull viewers into Frenetik’s sublime imagination.
Growing up, Frenetik Void spent hours creating his own custom maps through games. Eventually realizing that 3D design would allow him to bring the virtual environments that dwelled in his mind to life for others to experience , opened a path towards infinite technical experimentation.
His own being and experience were central elements to this experimentation, resulting in his first rare digital project: The Virtual Humanoids, in which Frenetik Void took inanimate virtual bodies and filled them with his own emotions. Each one capturing specific moments of his life, these virtual bodies encompass his memories, struggles and personal joys — They act as his life journal.
Frenetik Void’s Anatomy of the Humanoid drop collection caught the attention of collectors across the space. Poignant themes of the intersection of human nature and technology were expressed through a hypnotic blend of texture, color and form. All pieces within the series sold out to prominent collectors on MakersPlace including: MantaXR and Gallery of Crypto Art (GoCA)- Anatomy of the Humanoid sold for 10 ETH to MantaXR, which was later procured by GoCA as part of a bundle sale for 40 ETH (available for purchase from GoCA for $35K USD).
Void’s most recent series release on MakersPlace was Fantasy & Seclusion, a story of love, fantasy, resentment & judgement. This impassioned series delicately dissected the emotional complexities of existing in today’s evolving world told through Void’s unfiltered artistic perspective. The series consisted of Trophy (1/1), Blind Grief – 2020 (1/1), The Spectacle – 2020 (10/10), and Fish & Katana (100/100).
We were lucky enough for the chance to ask Frenetik Void a few questions about his process and artwork. Take a look at what he had to say below!
In your own words how would you describe your style?
A bridge of ice constructed by sunlight. A bird that clings worried in the farthest and tiniest of branches. A bubble that crystallizes with a leaf inside. An essential drop. None of these. 💧
What or who are some of your biggest inspirations?
🗿🌄Landscapes & portraits of my life. 🌄🗿
What is the story behind Gummies? How did it come to be and what do you hope people take from it?
It’s a humorous story about love, tenderness, and mortality. 💕🦴
(~˘▾˘)~ The three pieces add up as one to me. There’s an evolution, but they speak the same language. They are made from the same bones. I think there’s something about the coexistence of three different times & dimensions. 🔮~(˘▾˘~)
Why is the theme of transformation and metamorphosis important/interesting to you?
“Can’t you feel our souls ignite?
Shedding ever-changing colours
In the darkness of the fading night
Like the river joins the ocean
As the germ in a seed grows
We have finally been freed to get back home“
