I had the privilege of being commissioned by the NFT Sky Bar, an exclusive venue located on the terrace of the four-star nhow Frankfurt hotel, for a unique design project. This night bar, which towers over the city, has the honour of being Frankfurt’s highest venue, a centre of the city’s cultural life and a venue for live and electronic music events since its opening.
NFT EVENT ART COLLECTION
Daydream Trip
This project is not intended to be contemplated but to be lived as an experience. From the dreamlike visions that each of the cocktails on the NFT Sky Bar menu have generated in me, I have created a dream, a teleportation, which I share with the viewer through a genuine, unique, and unconventional immersive experience. An experience intended to be an inner journey with which I hope not only to create sensations, but to take you with me on a journey through the mind and soul.
NFT EVENT ART COLLECTION
Grapefruit Island
As part of NFT Sky Bar’s commitment to art, I was invited to create a second collection of Non Fungible Tokens, following the success of the first collection, Metartverse, in 2022 (a collection of 30 NFTs that sold out in just 90 minutes). This time, I was inspired by the new addition to the bar’s cocktail menu, the Pink Spritz, a vibrant grapefruit-based concoction.
My creation, ‘Grapefruit Island’, is an animated piece inspired by the tranquillity, joy and lightness of summer. In this work, the grapefruit fruit comes to life, transforming itself into the heart of a fantastic amusement park brimming with fantasy and sensations.
My visual style for this work is influenced by digital creators in the field of 3D art, a field in which a trend has developed over the last decade based on serene compositions in which selected elements exhibit continuous and harmonious movement within static graphics.
In ‘Grapefruit Island’, I tried to capture the tranquillity, serenity and balance that we tend to associate with the languid pace of summer days and the relaxing respite of holidays. The aim was to evoke the placidity of sunny days through a sensory and dreamlike experience full of nuance and colour.
The collection consists of 3 NFTs, three versions of a single creativity. The entire collection was sold out within 24 hours of its launch.
NH Hotels proposed me to create a series of 3 NFTs inspired by each of the 10 cocktails on the NFT Sky Bar menu. From this idea, I came up with the concept ‘Metartverso’:
THE ENTIRE COLLECTION SOLD OUT IN JUST 90 MINUTES. ONE NFT SOLD EVERY 3 MINUTES.
‘This project is called ‘Metartverse’, not Metaverse, because the concept behind it is not the metaverse as we know it, or as the media usually tries to make us perceive it. I have hacked the word Metaverse and turned it into a Metartverse, an art-centred Metaverse.
This NFT project introduces this new concept of an art-filled metaverse with the aim of humanising and beautifying virtual space, to create an organic metaverse that is diverse, colourful, original and genuine.
To experience this proposed art-filled virtual world you just have to shake off your preconceptions about the metaverse and be open to discovering new conceptions of it. I have created 10 unique spaces that have no correlation with each other in terms of style, colour and technique, but together they build an eclectic metaverse of animated art. An organic metaverse that has a life and personality of its own, as opposed to corporate experiences.’
