Mitia Fenechkin: Cold Outreach That Worked, NFT Experience, and Impostor Syndrome in Art

Listen on

A conversation with artist and illustrator Mitia Fenechkin about how his practice transformed after the full-scale invasion, project-based thinking, and finding balance between analog drawing and working in IT. We discuss an art book created from “re-lived” older works, donations to support the army, skepticism toward the idea of a “cultural front,” and the importance of precise language in times of war.

Another thread of the conversation explores music cover artwork — from cassette tapes for a children’s band to Okean Elzy — as well as NFT experiments, his view of AI as a tool similar to Photoshop, and why Mitia doesn’t consider himself a “successful artist” despite all his achievements.
