Hi, and welcome to the newest edition of NFT Matrix, where I present NFT Artists’ work. The artist I am presenting is **Lana Denina**.

**\*Note:** **I did not share any images in this issue since I couldn’t message the artist on twitter and their website expressly forbade sharing images without their permission. Still, their work is really interesting and worth clicking links to check out.**

**Piece: “You Fascinate Me”** [**Link**](https://foundation.app/mint/eth/0x3B3ee1931Dc30C1957379FAc9aba94D1C48a5405/83410)

**Artist: “** ‘ How can someone be this confident? That's what I asked myself when I met her. She walked and spoke like she owned her world with such delicacy and easiness, she was a walking masterpiece. I swore to myself that one day I'll be strong like her. I was fascinated."

"You Fascinate Me" 2021, Lana Denina

2500x2500 px animated digital painting with sound.’ ”**NFTMatrix:** Eye catching work, and I like the soundtrack. The visuals are colorful with a specifically darker palette. Really like the color of the heart, and reminds me of being vulnerable with emotions.

**Piece: “Saudade”** [**Link**](https://foundation.app/mint/eth/0xA100E3D31e5081285591B3F3d02BE68Cc3feB21B/5)

**Artist: “**I’m not sure what to expect anymore. My agony is boring me. I feel as if I'm grieving a love that was never real. The grief of a delusion. Listening to Fado, I’m watching my reflection in the mirror cry. Is she really me ? I’m ashamed.

"Saudade" 2023, Lana Denina”  
  
**NFTMatrix:** An excellent portuguese word for inexpressable sadness and longing. The imagery evokes this word as well, hinting at a marriage/lifelong bond with someone whom the subject of the painting may never know. Mourning the loss of a relationship which never came to be due to an unknown and unforeseen consequence is a really interesting concept .

**Piece: “To Love The Rose is To Love its Thorns”** [**Link**](https://foundation.app/mint/eth/0xb932a70A57673d89f4acfFBE830E8ed7f75Fb9e0/47040)

**Artist**: “I understand it now.

"To Love The Rose is To Love its Thorns" 2023, Lana Denina”

**NFT Matrix:** Clean, beautiful imagery which captures the sentiment very well.
