With Valentine's Day this past month, it is safe to say that love is in the air. Thankfully, celebrating love doesn't just end after February 14th, but is carried with us in everything we do. I am equally as grateful that love does not just express itself through romance, as it does on Valentine's Day. Instead, love is nearly limitless in its other facets, and what better way to express those facets than through NFTs!
In this article, I explore the different aspects of love expressed through the art of several talented artists within ArtVndngMchn, a rare digital art project that contains many different components including digitally wrapped fine art NFT packages, a 3D virtual art gallery and amusement park, and so much more. Amazingly, ArtVndngMchn just released a fine-art NFT package on 2/26 entitled Series 3: CryptoSkateboards and Other Things that Fly showcasing many fine-art NFTs, including ones that will be addressed in this article!
Love truly has no bounds, just like art, which is why art is such a pleasant and intriguing way to express love. Here are a few (though there are many) ways that love can be expressed:
Love can shine through our hobbies, our desires, and the things we find beautiful.
Here is a piece from ArtVndngMchn artist, Mike Rende entitled Lovely Day for a Casual Flight from Series 2. Love is expressed here in this NFT as Rende depicts our "innate desire to soar through the clouds on a beautiful day" as he mentions in his description. Our desires and things we find beautiful bring us many warm feelings of love and joy!

Love is also found within our families, friends, and those who we hold closest to us.
Here we see a piece entitled, Ramen Love With You by Joe Chiappetta, the founder of ArtVndngMchn. This beautiful piece is a lovely portrait of his wife, Denise, tied together with a few ramen noodles and some play-on-words! This piece can be found in Series 3!

In Series 2, Chiappetta did another lovely portrait of his beloved wife, entitled Natural Woman describing this to be "only a tiny glimpse of God's beauty he's created in her". How sweet!

As heartwarming as love from one another is, love found in our Creator is the best love there is. I am always touched to see depictions of God's amazing love through art! After all, in 1 John 4:19, it says "We love because he first loved us." Here in this drawing done by the outstanding Beth Cohen from Series 3 entitled, Rescued out of Deep Waters, we see God extending his love in the form of care, protection, and rescue (Psalm 18). Those times when we are in a hopeless pit, it is the love of God that draws us out of those deep waters.

Another way God expresses His love is that he "makes everything beautiful in its time" (Ecclesiates 3:11). Everything has a plan and purpose. Which is what is expressed in this NFT from Series 3, entitled Beautiful In Its Time by Joe Chiappetta and Melida Rios.

Sometimes love is simply found in shapes like a big red heart, which of course exemplifies where love stems from: our hearts.
Joe Chiappetta and Caleb Cohen take the red heart imagery in a creative direction here in this piece entitled Beating Heart Car found in Series 2. So imaginative and amusing!

Aside from our desires, relationships with one another, relationship with God, and red hearts, love can be expressed in so many ways. These are merely a few that these ArtVndngMchn artists amazingly captured! Be sure to check out Series 3 Pack to discover many more incredible NFTs by these artists and others!
