Great! So, if I buy the NFT of your artwork Chromatic Eruption, will I be the only one who owns that artwork, or can you or someone else still print it?
That’s a very important question because many people are confused about how NFTs work. If you purchase the NFT of Chromatic Eruption, then you will own the official and registered ownership of the authentic digital artwork on the blockchain. In other words, you will be the official owner of the original digital asset.
However, just as with a famous painting in traditional art, other people can still view the image online or print a copy for personal use. The difference is that only one person owns the authentic “certified” work. It’s similar to having an original artwork displayed in a gallery while posters or photographs of it also circulate.
In some cases, usage or printing rights can be separately defined by the artist within the NFT’s terms. It’s like buying an original painting in traditional art. Someone may own the authentic artwork, but that does not necessarily mean they have the right to reproduce or sell copies without the creator’s permission. So, NFTs mainly concern authenticity, official ownership, and certification of the work in the digital environment.
How did your involvement with NFTs begin?
In 2014, I became familiar with the world of crypto and started following developments around blockchain and emerging technologies. I was fascinated by how technology could change the way the digital world operates.
In 2022, I decided to become more actively involved in the NFT space because I saw that it could offer new opportunities for artists. For the first time, digital artists could authenticate their works and present them to a global audience without limitations. That gave me tremendous motivation to further develop my work.
What fascinates you most about the NFT world?
What fascinates me most is the freedom and the connection with people from all over the world. Through NFTs, an artist can present their work globally without relying exclusively on galleries or traditional art spaces.
I also really like the fact that a new community of artists, collectors, and creative individuals has emerged, supporting one another. It’s a space that is constantly evolving and offering many opportunities for new ideas and collaborations. I feel we are still at the beginning of a new digital era for art.
