Imagine the following situation…

You are an art lover and enthusiast of Web3.0 technology, you are interested in the NFT field and you are looking for another opportunity to invest in an interesting project. This may be part of your investor routine or a small hobby, but it doesn’t change the fact that you see literally the same, repetitive projects, ideas and lack of any originality. It is no wonder that this is the case, usually the biggest fish on the market thanks to their success, create a trend that the majority will follow when seeking publicity.

With repetitiveness and the desire to make easy money (for project authors equally as well as investors), it contributes to the stagnation of the NFT field and builds a negative reputation among potential target audience. The negative opinion hinders development, building fear and greed among branch veterans.

SolSea Example

Market is cyclical

For the past year, interest in the NFT has declined significantly, with buyers beginning to view the market with more caution. The growth of interest in the NFT is a natural process, a period of renewed bull market is approaching, but retaining its past form, the market will not experience a period of growth for more than 5–6 months at most.

In my opinion, the modern form of the word “NFT project” has no value and looks more like the creation of fake popularity in order to make easy and quick money. My problem with the market is simple — it is totally empty and not creative, using the same effortless formula.

As I mentioned earlier — the same story under a different covering

Another one?

Again and again

I can do it forever

What is this whole and lengthy introduction for?

Well, it so happens that the NFT market is very dear to me but besides that, I love art without any exception, I am a digital art creator myself. Without a doubt, one of the only ones worth noting these days are the artists who create works called “1/1 art” in the community. Of course, I deliberately do not mention other interesting methods of utilizing the blockchain system such as GameFi, for example, I will try to tell you about it in future articles. I would prefer to focus on what is close to me personally.

The ability to sell their art is offered by marketplaces that are oriented to artwork lovers

SuperRare - 1/1 art marketplace
Foundation — another 1/1 marketplace
Exchange.art — Solana 1/1 marketplace I am selling on

Closer to the main topic — I created my first collection

In my opinion, art 1/1 is worth your attention like never before. Artists create something that is unique in their own way, which is of value in itself. The price formation of outstanding work is based on an exceptional style and interpretation combined with the author’s efforts.

I have little experience creating online art and I have decided to extend my experience and skills with the addition of cutting-edge technology into my first NFT collection, which I called Emotionless.

1/1 art — ACID

The name of the collection refers to a unique style of performance that is characterized by deprecation and violation of the principles of classical painting to build an unrepeatable atmosphere. The works in the collection are different and each one is designed to show some of the author’s emotions and experiences at different moments in life. The collection covers the part of my life when I was struggling with tough everyday depression. Dark and gloomy pieces represent the worse moments of my life, colorful and bright ones on the other hand cover the moments when my soul was feeling relief.

1/1 art — GREEDINESS OF LUST

The visual style is inspired by classic 18–19-century painting styles, and there are old-age effects and traces of oil paint characteristic of old works you can find in the art gallery. An important part of every image is the use of vivid shading elements and the presentation of depth, color, and composition.

1/1 art — CITY OF BEGGARS

I used Adobe Photoshop and the Krita drawing tool to build a general composition and picture style. Artificial intelligence is used to enhance the effect and atmosphere of images. Artificial intelligence is responsible for adding some canvas effects. Each is made in a different color scheme, but with the same surreal deconstructing style.

In future articles, I will focus specifically on each of them before starting an auction on exchange.art

Summary

In conclusion, I would like to say that my first collection means much to me, I expect to receive some kind of community support for further production (they are preparing new collections inspired by urban chaos).
