I'm very interested in new technologies, blockchain and co. In the beginning I was sceptical about the value of such a digital image because in theory one could copy it as often as they'd like. Fascinating about this is though that you can also add a real-world value outside of the digital token. The combination of these two factors makes the NFT unique and the whole project quite interesting.
What inspired your line?
In the beginning of 2022 I saw some videos about Neurography, a psychological and creative transformation method to use as a tool for processing and solving a wide variety of life issues. The resulting art genre Neuroart is a meditative and artistic process to visualize your own thoughts and feelings on any topic in a playfull and artistic way. I perceive this kind of art very fascinating and immediately created my own art on paper. Each image has its own story and meaning and every topic inspires me anew.
Why did you choose your art style?
Each image from this collection was first drawn by hand on paper and then converted into a digital artwork. The neurographic drawing technique allows the images to get digitized very well. So both images -on paper and digital - are real unique art. Certainly there will be more collections with other styles later.
What blockchain are you developing on?
For my first collection I chose the Ethereum blockchain, I think it is the easiest way for beginners.
What's your mission?
As soon as I have implemented and completed the creation and sale of my first collection, I will create a simple step-by-step guide so that all artists who are still selling their art on paper can easily sell their own art on a digital way without much technical knowledge. I also find the possibility of donating to various charitable projects by buying or selling NFTs very exciting (see my unlockable content).
Who are your NFT influences?
So far, I have only read up on NFTs on the internet, especially on Youtube, and I don't have an particular favourite NFT artist. I'm approaching the subject with an open mind an trying to find my own way.
What are 3 things you learned in the first three weeks of creating NFTs?
There are many more individual steps and things to consider than what is getting explained in most Youtube tutorials.
It is very time-consuming to create and format the texts for the profile, the collection, the NFTs, the unlockable content and the website, and eventually to translate it into English.
The biggest challenge is marketing and getting attention in the media.
Neuroart - Nichts denken
#1 "Nichts denken"
The original hand painted picture was created on the 6th of April 2022.
Not long before I watched some of the tutorials about Neurographics and it was recommended to think about nothing in the process of drawing and let your mind flow.
Therefore the name of this picture is "nichts denken" which translates into "think nothing".
Then the drawing was transformed into a digital artwork.

I wanted to try out whether music has an influence on how and what I draw. So while drawing, I listened to binaural beats at 432 Hz and let my mind and pen run free. That's how this artwork came into being.
Then the drawing was transformed into a digital artwork.
The original hand painted picture was created on the 11th of April 2022.
The drawing was made over a few glasses of white wine, I wanted to test the effect of alcohol on my creativity. Hence the name "el vino".
Then the drawing was transformed into a digital artwork.
The original hand painted picture was created on the 26th of April 2022.
Wisteria is a Chinese climbing plant that produces beautiful purple flowers in spring and exudes a strong and very pleasant fragrance. I walk past this beautiful plant almost every day and am delighted every time by its beguiling fragrance. That is why I had to put the Wisteria on paper as a Neuroart.
Then the drawing was transformed into a digital artwork.
