HOW:
This unique NFT will be

on WISe.ART, the only entrusted
NFT marketplace
for luxury
goods,
art and other
high-end
collectibles.
Responding to the needs of buyers and sellers of high-value
goods, the WISe.Art platform is developing into a
fully-fledged marketplace with its own digital currency, the
ability to include curators and multipliers, white-labeling options
and custom-made NFT design.
The NFT design of the WISe.Art platform ensures that
besides an authenticated and signed version of the actual digital
asset, an irreversible link to a physical object is set up, in
addition to proof of ownership, provenance and a set of contracts
describing future use and monetization streams, if relevant.
The NFT tokenization uses the WISeKey registered patent
application, “System and Method for Providing Persistent
Authenticatable NFT” in the USA. With this method, NFTs have
increased in value and will hold its long-term value.

NFTs and the platform are secured by WISeKey’s own security
technology enabling the protection of physical objects as well as
digital assets in a safe end-to-end process.
PEDRO SANDOVAL - THE
STORY:
MisterBitcoin NFT celebrates the world of bitcoin and how it is
now considered as an alternative to central
bank-controlled fiat money.
Pedro Sandoval, a world-renowned artists born in Venezuela in
1966 and currently living in Spain. He is closely associated with
the abstract neo-expressionist movement. He manifested his artistic
skills from an early age, and he was awarded the Young Master of
the World Award in the Japanese city of Osaka at only six years
old. His outstanding craftsmanship led him to the Cristobal Rojas
school, in his native Venezuela, where he received classical
training. Pedro Sandoval is interested in the alliance between
figuration and abstraction and has worked with internationally
recognized mentors such as Oswaldo Vigas or Jesús Rafael Soto.
After settling in Spain in the 2000s, he travelled to Germany
where he met the most renowned figures of German neo-expressionism
such as Georg Baselitz, Sigmar Polke and Anselm Kiefer. He joined
their movement which Wolfgang Becker described as the “New
Savages”.
Currently, Pedro Sandoval focuses his research on both the new
German avant-garde and the work of abstract American expressionists
such as Hans Hofmann, Barnett Newman, Jackson Pollock or Cy
Twombly. His works can be found in museums such as the Guggenheim
in New York or in the contemporary art museums of Caracas and Boca
Raton (Florida), as well as the collections of the White House, the
Vatican Museums or the Kennedy’s.
WHAT:
Smart contracts and physical contracts can be included in the
NFTs to describe the usage rights of the NFT buyer, including
monetization of their collection. It also allows the original
creator to potentially participate in future royalties. This option
opens new funding opportunities for artists with large collections,
as well as better appreciation for their work.
