About Pedro Sandoval:
Pedro José Sandoval (Ciudad Bolívar, July 12,
1964) 1 is a Spanish-Venezuelan artist based in Madrid, Spain.
Several times winner of international awards and having mingled
with most of the major contemporary artists in Europe, he has been
dabbling with NFTs since the mid 90s. His belief is that art
must tell a story and the artist must live that story to express it
convincingly. Each of his NFT interpretations are drawn from
his personal perception of museum masterpieces or his vision of
current affairs and society today. To commemorate his membership of
Luminaries21, he wanted to honor the other 1090 members in a
retrospective showing their dedication to the good of our planet
and humanity by creating a series of “NFTs for Good”. For
