I’m starting to learn that this space isn’t being run by artists or free thinkers. I’ll admit I’m not researching the individuals behind Foundation, however, so I need to if they’re banning artists like Victoria? If I am able to see the purpose of her art and the message it is conveying (however interpretive that may be) without any formal art education and they cannot, does their opinion in the art world matter?

Opinions are not equal and context matters.

Love that you’re writing with us, Etta.

Most of the art pieces have variable meanings. Artists try to point out something, but not everyone sees what they see. People are so busy arguing the distinctions, sins and discrepancy; so they cannot examine the whole picture. I don't mind if the art has nudity, blood or cruelty. They exist because the artist wants you to look from a different perspective, they want you to think. However, people mostly tend to see what they want to see and ignore the facts. I don't see anything wrong in these images, but some got banned. I think this demonstrates why the artist was trying for awareness.

I got a bit philosophical but I liked reading this article especially the final words. I, myself have always wondered how it is like to be vegan. Some of the vegan dishes and vegan version of food are delicious, I might try something like Veganuary but it is hard to leave behind what you used to.

Art is the reflection of what is in one's mind to the work. No one can judge her just because she thinks that way, we have to respect her, we humans have officially lost respect

Nftler is the perfect place for events like this. Nobody can interfere with you.

Also, the emergence of different nfts is developing this market, attracting new people, maybe soon those who produce nfts will be called artists. It should not be forgotten that society without art is doomed to lose.

I hope this market reaches its true value, thanks for reading

Not everyone can agree on a picture.

However, it is ignorance not to adopt this perception and to judge from a single point of view.

You can evaluate a work and express your ideas freely.

However, this does not mean that you can ban the work and its owner on any domain.

It is very sad that they ban an artist who describes human, animal and nature rights so well.

I think it was a very shallow decision.

I respectfully greet this artist who dedicates his life to helping the needy and raising awareness.

I think those who don't buy these artifacts are immature people who can't stand to see and accept their sins on their physical walls and don't want to change themselves.

I think that people who have developed perceptions and strive for a better future will support this artist as they get to know him, I hope he will come to a better place.

Good luck Victoria West.

Thanks for the article.

I had the opportunity to get to know this valuable artist, and I will definitely follow.

I always have great respect for people who are combative and visionary. Victoria's like that. He has a thought that he believes in, and he resists pressure for that thought. He is also an artist. People don't always understand artists. He cannot know and interpret correctly what he thinks when he makes works of art. For example, he may have wanted to talk about justice using blood on a Victorian painting. But for some people, it's just a brutal picture.

I believe that these extraordinary works are born from the love and rights of animals and humans.

Viktoria West draws attention to animal rights, violence against women and many other social issues with her art.

I definitely respect what he does. I hope there are more artists like this.

If we want to make our world more livable, let's protect animals, people and nature.

Let's not destroy our future with our own hands.

actually, I should start my sentences by emphasizing that she is a very good artist. Her works are great. The first of few things I can say about Victoria is that I feel close to her because she is vegan. It means passing hard ways. And the artist who reflects this on his art actually achieves something very beautiful. I believe that the nft market will come to a very good place and in a digital environment where there are no restrictions, artists produce their works of art. And when art loses its freedom, it ceases to be art. He should be able to express himself without any pressure.

Thought provoking article that I appreciate having the chance to read. Victoria's work is extremely powerful, stops you, pulls you up short, and makes you think hard. My art operates differently, coming from a different place, but the world absolutely needs Victoria and artists like her!!

I don't knew about Victoria West before reading this Article and I am really Thankful to you Etta to introduce many of us to this Arts

I have already said ij many articles that i am a fan of Art related to Humans or you can say related to social issues or upcoming issues due to us

I also can't imagine how can someone ban this arts. I know its a bitter truth for someone and some might not like bloods or violence in their picture but i need to say i liked the each and every concept or thought behind the pictures.

I was a pure vegetarian from my birth and now i have converted my diet to Vegan and believe me Vegan life is best for me after changing to Vegan my life has changed i have never experienced a single problem related to my Stomach or any cholesterol issues after Converting to Vegan

I really respect the Human Meat Art. It helps to show the cruelty towards animals and also want us to know that it can come back to us as Karma

All over the most favorite art which is believe i would have bought as a physical painting is " Until We Meet Again "

I don't know if anyone will believe me or not after seeing that picture i was almost about to cry cause Losing someone in this world is a big pain and remembering them without seeing them gives me more pain.

I would like to see Victoria talking about her arts on Writer Podcast that would make me really happy

( Sorry if you didn't liked any of my words and Please correct me so that i will try to not make the same mistake again)

Thanks for this Article Etta 🙏🙏

I'm not a vegan. But I respect vegans.

I also have a lot of respect for art. I've always liked seeing different arts.

Especially very plain or shocking things. So I'm trying to figure out what's in it.

Some people may not like it, but it certainly needs to be respected.

İ am happy to she was have her work done by the nft.

I hope she always keeps taking pictures, doing NFT.

I really like some of them.

She's very successful at what she does.

Thanks to you, I know new people, new beauties.

Thanks for the great article.

Have a nice day.

It is very nice that she raises awareness about animal rights and the work she creates.

As a result of such different and original works, a successful artist has received awards for 3 consecutive years,

doesn't surprise me :)

Tons of bad things happen in the world every day, and some of them can't come to light, it's nice to be the language of the people with such works and to reveal the realities.

Thank you for presenting your fascinating and impressive works to us.

Her work is amazing !!!

I’m glad I now I’m aware of what she does so I can support her work.

And censorship towards art is always really bad, but talks a lot about how powerful and shocking the pieces of an artist are.

Thanks for the good info !

art is for art. detach is from any didactic, moral, or utilitarian function of art, expressing that its true value is only "true" art.

It is very nice that art adapts to this technology, but such events make us sad.

We are at the very beginning of everything. I hope such unfortunate events will not happen in the future.

such new categories may lead to introducing new people to this technology. so we must support and protect them

thanks for reading

Thank you to the author for this important article
