Astralympics 2024
"Brace yourselves for the ultimate adrenaline surge as all the wizardry athletes embark on their journey to the Astralympics 2024! In 20 reality-bending and thrilling disciplines, wizards from all realms showcase their talents and skills, and in the end, only a few will reach the peak of their magical performance." Astralympics 2024 is an art collection inspired by the inherent beauty of sports, serving as a testament to the graceful interplay of shapes and Renaissance-like compositions observable across various disciplines. This collection endeavors to encapsulate the essence of athleticism with precision, evoking a nostalgic flow akin to the editorial illustrations of the 1960s. Highlighting new sports debuting at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, such as skateboarding and bouldering, was crucial for me. These sports have had a profound impact on my personal journey and are integral parts of the Astralympics. All the characters in these artworks are faceless for a specific reason. The goal is to create a sense of connection that transcends individual identities, not bound to any country or specific athlete. Everyone should see themselves reflected in the Astralympics. It's about sharing the love for sports and the joy of competition on a global scale. Each collector will receive a signed museum-quality fine art print on Hahnemühle 300gsm paper. Each print comes with signed and numbered NFC certificate that links the artwork to the corresponding NFT.
Astralympics and Magidelik
Astralympics is part of my long-term world-building project, Magidelik, which now features over 100 artworks and stories. Magidelik's story is set in a world where astral anomalies strike a realm governed by bureaucratic wizards, shaking the foundations of their beliefs and reality. Everything is controlled by paperwork that surpasses mortal understanding, and reforms often result in even more complex procedures, rendering progress seemingly impossible. This world is teeming with Kafkaesque characters and side stories inspired by real-world events, but with a magical twist to make the harsh reality more bearable.

About the Print
Each collector will receive a signed museum-quality fine art print on Hahnemühle 300gsm paper, produced by my trusted partner Artidomo, with whom I have collaborated for several years. The size of the print can be choosen by the collector but has to be a minimum 14,8 × 21 cm and a maximum 29,7 × 42 cm to reduce potential issues with international shipping. Each print comes with a signed and numbered NFC certificate that links the artwork to the corresponding NFT. (Disclaimer: This certificate is not part of the TRACE technology by Transient Lab.) After the public mint is closed, I will reach out to each collector individually to prepare everything for shipping. Shipping will commence at the end of March, and each collector will receive a tracking number for their package.
