Mixed Media Artist on SuperRareUnited Kingdom
About me
Nygilia, also known as fantasy future gyal, is a mixed-media artist that specializes in blending 2D & 3D styles into experimental visuals. She uses Virtual Reality and combines it with illustration, photography, and animation. Her NFT art embodies the inspiration of Afrofuturism by reflecting abstraction and fantasy. As she creates her art, storytelling is a big factor. Nygilia uses her experience from playing video games, such as series like "Final Fantasy" and "Legend of Zelda", to heighten the depth of character design. Nygilia's love for African and Asian Art is very much relevant to her craft. Alongside her artwork, she is experienced in branding, social media content creation, art direction, and creative design. Nygilia has assisted on projects for clients such as NBA, Robinhood, MAC, and Disney.
