ArtworkSeal

ArtworkSeal was born from an exchange of ideas with some artists who cultivate their talent by expressing themselves in the field of visual arts, especially in painting and sculpture. They are artists who show their works to a limited circle of the public reserving almost all of their commitment to creativity and thus inevitably neglect to broaden their visibility. Observing that small audience, one was struck by the ability of these artists to provoke often intense emotions and it seemed unfair that such emotions were not conveyed to a wider audience.
The greatest difficulty in the debate consisted in putting in contact a mentality that invites the transcendent with the need to implement methods that live completely in reality, especially when such methods require the contribution of technology.
The debate remains open and perhaps will never end, in the meantime we decided to make ArtworkSeal’s contribution available with the aim of spreading the work of artists without distracting them too much from their world.

In the explanations and examples provided, we are primarily addressing painters and sculptors, but the proposed solutions are applicable, with appropriate adaptations, to various artistic categories.

The purpose of ArtworkSeal is to make a small contribution to the diffusion of the arts in the various forms of expression that we know. A contribution to the benefit of artists and creatives especially those who, being little known, unfortunately very often see their works remain hidden from the eyes of the world. Our dream is that the beauty that is created in the universe can be revealed and that this simple fact can help produce more and more.

But we are not just dreamers, we cannot neglect the practical aspects that this process entails and organize ourselves with innovative tools.
Now let’s talk about technology. It’s not easy to talk about technology to an audience of artists, luckily artists don’t spend their day chasing bits and bytes, but the less young among us will perhaps remember when we started talking about the internet how mysterious and incomprehensible this new world, the last thing we would have imagined is that such an incomprehensible novelty would have completely revolutionized our lives. The younger ones have not experienced this “mystery” of the past but every era has a new mystery to discover and so today many of us open our eyes wide in front of the blockchain.

The blockchain, which when it is declined in its components such as cryptography, the Hash algorithm, distributed nodes, fungible and non-fungible tokens and so on, leaves us completely disoriented. Today it is difficult to understand how these things that seem made only for technicians and mathematicians can revolutionize our lives, let alone the world of artists. We believe it will be like this and for this reason we have set to work to make this new “mystery” understandable and usable.

It is not easy to make simple what by its nature is extremely complex but on the other hand artists do this every time with a touch of the brush, a few words or a few notes they open the door to our most complex emotions. We want to try using such an intuitive language that it will surely make the technicians smile, we apologize in advance, indeed, we invite them to make their contribution to making the blockchain usable by everyone.

One last thing before closing this premise. Many artists, especially those who are not yet known, dream of making their business a paid job as well as a passion, this is because materials are expensive and the time dedicated to the activity is a resource that has an economic value. In this sense, our modest contribution helps to develop a new market and make it more easily accessible to meet this need. For this we will deal not only with theory but above all with practice.
