What if you could explore the world of digital art through the eyes of an artist who has lived on three continents and has a passion for both physics and art? On this episode of the NorCal and Shill Podcast, we sit down with Parin, a Tehran-born artist whose journey into the digital art and NFT space is as fascinating as it is inspiring. From her childhood dream of becoming an astronaut to her whimsical blend of animals she identifies with, Parin offers a unique perspective on life and art. We discuss her love for Italy and the Netherlands and the vibrant Los Angeles community she’s excited to reconnect with.

Discover the profound sense of community within Web3 as Parin shares her transition from a background in physics and mathematics to becoming a key player in the digital art world. We address critical concerns about the future of digital art and NFTs, including the potential overshadowing by other Web3 elements and the risk of cultural dilution with mass adoption. Parin makes a compelling case for recognizing emerging artists from diverse global backgrounds, emphasizing the need to spotlight talent beyond Western countries. Listen as we delve into the intrinsic value of 1 ETH in the NFT marketplace and the importance of maintaining low supply to preserve exclusivity and value.

In a snapshot of identity and creativity, we explore the hybrid characteristics of a tiger, polar bear, and penguin that Parin identifies with, symbolizing the complexity of human nature. A heartfelt tribute to Rumi's wisdom on living in the present moment and fun anecdotes such as purchasing an ET mask for Halloween paint a vivid picture of her personality. The episode wraps up with exciting news about Parin’s personal projects, including hand-drawn animations and a significant move back to Los Angeles, marking a new chapter filled with creative endeavors and community impact.
