CRYPTO ART – Begins presents Martin Lukas Ostachowski
Martin Lukas Ostachowski is a crypto artist who works with new media, but also a historian of crypto art who loves to educate others about the blockchain.
His clouds are much more than his favorite subject, they represent his ever-changing identity and his beloved crypto universe.
WHO IS MARTIN LUKAS OSTACHOWSKI?
The life of Martin Lukas Ostachowski is marked by two events that changed the trajectory of his life: the first transfer from Poland to Germany to escape from Communism and a second migration to Canada in 2013.
From 2015 he begins to identify himself as an artist and to produce physical art. The interest in digital art is always present, but it only takes shape when the advent of Blockchain technology allows a real market to be born.
In 2018 Ostachowski starts creating his first NFTs. The potential for the artists of this new market becomes his new passion to the point of pushing him to become the first historian of Crypto Art.
HIS ART
Martin Lukas Ostachowski is a cosmopolitan. The absence of roots led him to conceive humans as citizens of the world, which is reflected in his art.
Symbol of all his air travel and icon of his art, the cloud – first studied through photos and videos and then introduced in his production.
The clouds become a symbol of his identity. Their immateriality, inconsistency and transience are a perfect representation of the artist’s inner feeling.
Clouds that take on different meanings across different cultures, but which – at the same time – as much as no other form are familiar and reassuring to us.
A symbolism that also lends itself to the blockchain universe, which – like a cloud carries water – collects the hopes of society for a better future, well-being and socio-economic system.
“Ephemeral Thoughts on Digital Wallets” (2020) is an NFT that explores the value of digital assets. A generative view of the words that make up the seed phrase of the digital wallet .
A visual representation of the reflection on how the blockchain network is based on common hope as a factor of attribution of value. A poetic vision, but not for this untruthful, of the crypto system that gives us hope for the future.
