Hard Fork spoke to Baksht to find out more.
Baksht told Hard Fork: My passion for art has always been with me.
This is how cryptoart appeared [its an] art movement that combines technology and art.
I did not have a goal of creating a new style.
But the blockchain world is very different from the traditional world.

Finding inspiration
As with a lot of creative processes though, these works dont always paint themselves.
Baksht told Hard Fork that its a different creative process every time.
It was just a matter of time before Baksht found her way to painting cryptocurrency-based art.
Obviously sooner or later many of them started paying attention to evolving blockchain technology.
You may find many cryptoart works about crushing modern society and financial system, she adds.
Interestingly enough, Baksht tells Hard Fork that she hasnt been affected at all.
Luckily, I dont see any decrease in interest… Perhaps this is a lesson we all should heed, artist or not.

What better way to declare your love for artandcryptocurrency.
