The Artifex Project is a virtual platform for popular digital artists to auction off their artwork in the form of exclusive NFTs. The NFTs can be purchased using an Ethereum wallet, ensuring the transactions are entered into the blockchain for guaranteed authenticity. The Artifex Project has worked with major names in the digital art sphere like FVUCKRENDER and toomuchlag and plans to collaborate with other influential NFT artists. The opening art auction, which includes works from the aforementioned artists, runs from May 20th to May 27th, 2021.
The Artifex Project's auctions are based on themes. The inaugural theme is "The Family" which defines the essence of the NFT space and features limited-edition digital self-portraits of the participating artists. NFT artwork purchases from the Artifex Project come with an 'Artifex'–a 3D sculpture of the artwork rendered in a virtual environment.
