NFT art has become a hype recently. There might be concerns about a tulip mania phenomena threatening the bubble inevitably pops one day. Yet the pandemic has pushed the margins of digitalization to the extent that one could not have imagined a year ago. Interesting enough, the technology has been accessible for a while yet the change of the perspective has been needed to push us to virtual places, from zoom classrooms to virtual art shows, just to begin with. Understanding the concept of NFT art world is a challenge, mostly as the basic concept of the art collecting has been redefined. I’ve been asked why anyone would buy something that is just a digital picture? Yet just the digitalization has offered the concepts of scarcity and the proof of authenticity. Which might be a big game changer. Today it is impossible to track the digital reproductions of any publicly posted picture which is a painful reality for an artist. Like I’ve been shocked to find out a person on the other side of the globe is selling vases with reproductions of my art on them, no permission or consent asked.

Anyhow, I’ve found the concept appealing, as an early adopter I’ve decided to give it a try. Love the learning process, love the possibilities new technologies offer. And, above all, love painting. So here it comes, my very first NFT, Ostia Antica Ruins, freshly minted to enter the world of future.

I’ve chosen my Ostia Antica Ruins Rome painting, just to remember the world is changing rapidly, but besides ruins art is the one to stay forever.

With a big wish, that there really will be place for true art in the future.

My first NFT art collection ”Tamara Jare Art” is accessible here
