NFT Artist Portraits - 2022

That artistic and personal vision is crucial in the rendering of a portrait becomes evident when the crypto artists move within a context that refers to their artwork and are photographed.

The NFTs Artists portraits project was born from Sara Aliscioni's vision aimed at immortalizing the protagonists of the new international scene, explorers of the crypto world.

The photos portray the authors of the new art forms that involve the digitization of a physical work or the creation of a digital work.

Italian and international artists have posed in various places and contexts.

Rome, Milan, Venice, Turin, Pisa, Imperia, Latina and Casablanca are among the cities that have been the background to the portraits.

The photographic choice, with a strictly black and white calligraphy, proposes images built on the inspiration that the photographer has drawn from the knowledge of both the artists and their art. The portrait has always played a crucial role in photography which, despite its evolutions, has continued to be associated with the representation of people.

Walter Benjamin wrote:

“The renunciation of the human figure is the most difficult of all things for photography”.

In the twentieth century, with the explosion of Pop Art, Andy Warhol with his Self Portraits and with his portraits of characters such as Marilyn Monroe, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Man Ray, made the faces of these protagonists iconic giving the portraits a central aspect and well embedded in contemporary visual culture.

Within a refined setting composed in a very personal key, Sara offers a portfolio of photos of artists who have posed, portraying, through their image, themselves and their artistic language within a frame that refers to their own work.

The project therefore has as its main objective that of witnessing some of the precursors of the new frontier of interconnected virtual and real worlds, such as the NFTs, restoring that sort of immortality that man has always pursued.

The new exponents who are giving life to a new way of making art, Crypto Art, merging with their artistic vision reinterpreted by the photographer Sara Aliscioni, become witnesses of an unprecedented collection that comes from the desire to show, through the faces, the ways and attitudes, a new chapter of contemporary Art.
