Rejecting the “toxic standardization” of the art world, Yekta embraces risk and rawness over trends and algorithms. His works honor Iranian cultural heritage while pushing toward contemporary, hybrid forms that question visibility, value, and authenticity. 

In both digital and physical spaces, Yekta’s art resonates as a radical act of defiance and tenderness.

His artist manifesto underscores a protest against art as product. He rejects safe models, trend-following, pleasing algorithms — instead privileging risk, truth, raw emotion. 

This stance resonates strongly with his digital work: pieces that unsettle, that avoid easy legibility, that demand engagement rather than passive consumption. 

"Real art is meant to wound, not soothe. To ask dangerous questions, not earn safe praise. To destroy norms, not strengthen them. So if you feel like you don’t belong in this system, it’s probably because you’re still an artist." (Yekta)

Yekta’s immersion in web3 is not merely about adopting a new medium, but about challenging the underlying systems of art dissemination, visibility, and value. He is using the blockchains to both reach collectors and to assert that digital art can hold depth, critique, and integrity. 

The web3 framework gives him tools (smart contracts, decentralized marketplaces, blockchain provenance) that align with his critique of standardization in art. The infrastructure is part of his statement.
