CLOUDS ABOVE OUR HEADS
“When some random person across the sea or around the globe connects and resonates with the work to the thing the artist is going through, that’s just beautiful.”
soulosaint floats above our heads in the clouds. His artwork is a journey into his mind. Born in Yuba City, California, Gursahil Sohal is an incredibly talented artist. Surrealist painters and Japanese screen printers inspire his artwork. He fell in love with how they would draw clouds, and he’s adopted that for pieces as every item has a border of clouds. “It makes you feel like you’re in the sky with me.”
He’s no ordinary 21-year-old. He describes his art as a higher dimension of existence where love rules and all can be healed. “I’m inspired by the beauty of peace and existence on this planet. It helps my inner child and spreads the light of love throughout my creations.”
As a child, he lost his mother and experienced death at a young age. He didn’t know how to process his emotions properly. He turned to art to silence the noise in his mind. “As I continued to grow art is something that never left my side. Entering high school was when my art took shape. Now I can create a whole new world in which I can explore the sea of emotions and struggles I deal with daily.”
His grandmother supported his decision to enter the NFT space. “She’s my number one supporter and has her finger on the pulse about this space. She drives me to keep pushing, keep doing me. It’s incredible.”
soulosaint sheds light on his motivation and what he finds most amazing about this space: “As an artist, you’ll never be able to process everything, and what you do express is just for the artist, but when some random person across the sea or around the globe connects and resonates with the work to the thing the artist is going through, that’s just beautiful.”
Does he try to create art for collectors? “What I look at is when these collectors see me, and they see my art and my vision. In NFTs, there are no hard feelings. Not everyone’s going to look at you the same way. I try to stay true to myself as much as I can because I know those true people are investing in me, my vision, and what I bring to the world. If you create art for collectors, it takes away the genuineness of your creation. They want to see what comes out of my brain.”
