 Art explores unique interpretations of the world around us. In an extensive interview with the anonymous founder of Criss Bellini, he explained that being able to express yourself artistically is very freeing. As technological shifts seep into every aspect of life, the evolution of digital art is apparent. The private artist explains that this has transformed art without robbing it of its effect. The founder of Criss Bellini is a professional artist and entrepreneur. This artist is known for his authentic and unique limited edition pieces available only on his website. There are a limited number of each, making the art quite exclusive. Most people, especially when it comes to art, don’t want to buy mass-produced products. On the other hand, limited edition pieces at times tend to be overpriced, stretching beyond your budget. Noticing this gap, this entrepreneurial creative mind decided to step in and be the middle ground. In his words, “I wanted to create art that is unique, relatable, and above all, affordable.” The artist decided to do this under Criss Bellini. Among the factors that make Criss Bellini art stand out is its signature style. By fusing a variety of motifs, the brand creates authentic and beautiful art pieces. Some Criss Bellini paintings include imagery from pop culture, hip-hop music, classic paintings, and antiques. This incredible imagery has certainly put Criss Bellini on the map. Using a balaclava mask in some of his pieces, the artist says the mask for him is a show of freedom and the truest reflection of his pieces. Through his art, he aims to motivate, educate, and inspire people from all over the globe. “Never give up,” says the painter. Even though he has solidified his spot in the industry, he notes it has not been easy. Before he started Criss Bellini, the artist had two other businesses that failed, but even so, he did not quit on his dreams. He urges everyone to follow their dreams and remain focused on their goals. Asked about the future of digital art, Criss Bellini notes that with the rise in popularity of NFT, artists now have more creative freedom while art buyers still feel that they own something truly unique. In addition, NFT has opened a whole spectrum of possibilities for people creating digital art. By mixing traditional and digital art, coupled with hints of hip-hop, this anonymous artist aims to create art that is not only unique but impactful too. Selling Chris Bellini art pieces as NFTs, his customers get to own the original artwork and receive a physical print of the certificate. The brand has worked with some notable figures like influencers, rappers, and brands. The artist ships the pieces around the globe, allowing people everywhere to hang up their very own, limited-edition Criss Bellini artwork. Considering the rise of digital art, only time will tell whether the demand for NFT art will be a lasting trend. But, for now, it presents significant potential to provide artists with fast financial rewards and impacts in the future.
