Manuel Herrera-Usagre

Manuel Herrera-Usagre

tazzista has been working on his music, paintings, and illustrations as a commissioned artist since 2006. He has produced songs for and collaborated with different awarded artists and collectives such as contemporary professional dancer and professor Laila Tafur, the composer and interpreter Raphäel Wildemann, the photographer DDO, and the podcaster Brooke Estin, among many others.

Every NFT collection and piece he has published has a leitmotiv and in-depth research on the topic, addressing fundamental human, sociological, and philosophical questions from a combination of artistic and scientific approaches.
For instance, in his collection 'Eyes: The Emotions Within' (2021) on the Objkt marketplace, the author explored how we connect through our eyes and only through them, especially during the pandemic when full facial expressions were minimal. Emotions make humans equal, so he used his artwork to represent the broad spectrum of emotions all humans, regardless of social origin, ethnicity, or gender, can experience. He developed different threads and tweets to integrate sociological and psychological knowledge with hand-crafted pieces.
The climate emergency and the climate stress many people are experiencing are leading them to constantly look for a way to connect with nature in isolation, far away from the densely populated urban areas. With that in mind, tazzista created the 'Cabins at the End of the World' (2021) Collection. Those animated watercolor paintings with original soundtracks evoke the desire to disconnect from the endless anxiety created by the contradiction of covering our needs and incrementing our ecological footprint.
On the other hand, tazzista has also explored the 'Altered States of Consciousness' (2022) as a topic in his collection on KnownOrigin. He studied their effects and abstract representation through history, from cave paintings to contemporary artists, using the oldest mediums for representing those states: Paintings and Music.

His pieces have been reviewed by the Museum of Contemporary Digital Art (MoCDA), selected to be exhibited at: the NFT Factory Gallery during the NFT Paris Conference 2023, NFT.NYC 2024 exhibition, NFC Conference in Lisbon 2023, along with top artists such as Ali Sabet, Farrah Carbonell, Dead Seagull, Brian Bixby, and many more physical and digital collective exhibitions.

He also has extensive research experience advising international institutions (Spanish Government, European Commission as an Independent Expert) about how intertwining technology, culture, and health can provide a more equal, sustainable, and cohesive society. Among his scientific achievements, he has published more than 30 papers in indexed scientific journals, received numerous awards, and spoken at international conferences worldwide (Tokyo, Tallin, Palo Alto, Kuala Lumpur, Lisbon, Madrid, etc.).

Join me as we embark on a journey of empowerment, enlightenment, and collective healing. Together, we can rewrite the narrative surrounding mental health and usher in a new era of acceptance, understanding, and limitless potential.
