odyssey
A place for inclusivity, art and love.
the odyssey is the journey of exploration, a wandering without a set direction, the path towards ascension.

✨ Time for a little reintroduction + some lore ✨
Hey everyone! I’m Pierandrea, but in art I go by Odyssey of the Heart.
I’ve been working full-time as a multidisciplinary artist since 2020, and I realized it’s about time I share a bit more of my story with you.
I started anonymously, making collages and posting them on Instagram. That quickly expanded into 3D design and AR environments. My background in architecture and urban design shaped a lot of how I see space, form, and storytelling in art.
I’m from a small village in northern Italy, where I live with my parents (plus chickens and rabbits 🐓🐇). Fun fact: I have two older brothers, and all three of us are named Pier + something. So yes, it gets confusing sometimes.
I’ve been around NFTs and web3 since March 2021, joining some early projects and building a wonderful community on Twitter (these days you’ll mostly find me on Farcaster).
I’m also the founder of Love is Louder, a collective of LGBTQIA+ artists from around the world. Together, we’ve curated both digital and physical exhibitions, including at Ninfa Gallery, Milan (2023).
Among my Passions & obsessions:
- Ceramics: I’ve been taking pottery classes since 2022 and I’m planning to do some ceramics products drops soon.
- K-dramas & horror: dark thrillers, crime series, and horror movies are my comfort zone.
- Cooking & baking: nothing makes me happier than experimenting in the kitchen.
- Reading: I devour books (mostly contemporary lit from 2000 onwards).
- Poetry: I’ve written two collections that are still living in my folders… for now.
-Fashion: I love thrifting, picking out clothes, and putting together slay outfits.
- And yes, I’m a mermaid at heart 🧜🏻♂️ planning to get a tailored tail one day.
My creative journey moves across different mediums: painting, collage, 3D, photography, AI, ceramics and poetry.
Each medium feels like a chapter of a much bigger narrative I’m still writing.
We are all living our modern odyssey, hope you’ll join this journey with me.

gm, happy friday frens
Today I've shipped the work.
it has been something I wanted to do for so long, but I was always blocked by some force, ultimately a deep resistance within me.
I've send out a couple of prototypes to dear frens, and it still feel a bit odd, but in a way also as release.
I've read and heard so many "influencers" saying you have to do that and this and ship this and that, but ultimately we all have our timing, our resources. Seeing pieces of my art reach out in the world is a new whole experience. They always will be just part of me, so deeply it hurts.
Sometimes I just wish I would not have to keep up with all of these things to be a full time artist. Is 2026 the year I'll have to find a 9to5?
Who knows,
for now I just want to say that I'm deeply grateful to have come this far. one step at a time, one day at a time.

morning
with the ceramic sculpture counterpart of this digital work.
i feel like this work completes itself with digital and physical being next to one another.
If you are interested in this work and want to have a complete vision of it check out the post 👇

UPDATE:
Tried a few more prints… and yep, another fail 😂
Turns out the design is too vertical, so it wobbles at the top and fall on itself mid-print.
I reinforced the structure and managed to get two done, but one of them fell in the last minutes…
so now it’s a keychain with… no top ring.
Still slaying? def yes
