Pkok curated art

PKOK HYPERSUB AIRDROP #39

*Mono*

"Mono" is a celebration of singularity—the quiet strength found in focusing on just one element. This curation brings together iconic artists of different styles who explore the emotional and visual impact of isolating a single subject. 

In stripping away distraction, each work heightens our attention, inviting deeper reflection. "Mono" is not about minimalism alone; it’s about the intensity, intimacy, and clarity that emerges when one becomes everything.

Delve into this thread to find out more about the immensely talented artists who provided the artworks included in this airdrop: @angelikakollin, @mariafynsknorup.eth, Grant Spanier, @junglerush, @ezekielart

Meet Angelika Kollin @angelikakollin 

We had the honor of chatting 1/1 with Angelika on @farhouse this Tuesday and we think the whole world should know her through her life story and art in the Pkok Collection.

Angelika is a self-taught fine art and documentary photographer currently based in Tampa, Florida. Her work is driven by a lifelong desire to comprehend and gain insight into human loneliness and suffering, as well as to study the role of faith in overcoming these challenges.

Angelika's passion in photography and art derives from a desire to delve into the complexities of inter-human connections and the deeper meaning of human existence. In her photography, she strives for a straight and honest portrayal, while also incorporating personal thoughts and grace. Angelika is known primarily for her portraiture and documentary-style photography, and she derives tremendous satisfaction from working on personal, long-term photographic projects that allow for in-depth investigation of her topics of interest.

1. Angelika Kollin @angelikakollin is a self-taught fine art and documentary photographer based in Tampa, Florida. Originally from Estonia, her journey has taken her across continents—from Germany to Africa—shaping a deeply humanistic lens on the world. Her work is an exploration of loneliness, connection, and spiritual resilience, blending raw honesty with contemplative grace. Portraiture is her chosen language, through which she reflects on life‘s deeper meanings.

Rooted in long-term projects, Angelika‘s photography transcends borders and cultures. Her award-winning work has been recognized by institutions like Sony and Lensculture, and shown globally—from Art Basel Miami to Helsinki Foto Festival.

The piece included in this airdrop is part of her recent street photography collection, which is currently available on Rodeo.

With a background in botany from the Natural History Museum of Denmark and The Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, London, her deep reverence for the natural world permeates her work. 

She crafts emotional, introspective narratives that explore the human-nature connection, often using self-portraiture as a means of storytelling. Her work is a delicate balance between the autobiographical and the conceptual, capturing fleeting moments of vulnerability, resilience, and transformation.

2. Maria Fynsk Norup @mariafynsknorup.eth is a self-taught visual artist and photographer living on the Danish island of Ærø.

Often using self-portraits, Maria creates tender, conceptual narratives exploring identity, femininity, and the human relationship with the nature. Her work balances vulnerability with quiet strength, always intimate and poetic.

4. Rush Varela @junglerush is a Los Angeles-based multi exhibited photographer known for his striking use of cinematic lighting and bold color palettes. His work moves fluidly between fashion, entertainment, advertising, and conceptual expression, always with a focus on atmosphere and narrative. Whether capturing the poise of a model or the mood of a set, Rush shapes each frame with clarity and intention, pushing the boundaries of visual storytelling with confidence and precision.

His artistic foundation was laid in the theatre world, where he first explored dramatic visuals during his time at Hollywood High’s Performing Arts Magnet. That early influence, combined with formal training at the Art Center College of Design, informs his deeply stylized and emotionally resonant imagery. 

Since entering Web3 in 2021, Rush has brought his signature aesthetic to blockchains like Ethereum and Base to showcase work that bridges traditional portraiture and the evolving language of digital art.

His expressive style is marked by a sophistication that intimidates and captivates, offering a striking exploration of the emotional landscape.

Ezekiel‘s bold, unfiltered approach to art is evident across his various collections, which can be found on blockchains like Eth (True Colors, Primal, Ezekiel, The Inner Side, etc) and Tezos (Some Old Pieces). Each collection showcases his ability to channel raw emotion into visual form, making his work both provocative and unforgettable in its expressive depth.
