Etiene Crauss, a Brazilian artist, navigates the labyrinth of human emotions in his compelling artwork, engaging with a wide array of themes, from passion and rage, to desolation and loneliness.

Starting his journey in the realm of graphic design, Etiene spent five years immersed in various projects before the pull towards personal artistry led him to a transformative decision in 2020. A shift in focus, which marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter in the digital art scene, minting his first very first work, "For A Minute There, I Lost Myself," on OpenSea.

Etiene's singular style, merging his graphic design origins with an exceptional ability to encapsulate complex emotions, has drawn both widespread recognition and a devoted following.
