RareKoko – Director of Product

This piece has amazing visual / symbolic density. An exploration that combines elements of Monet’s Water Lilies with the political narrative of Banksy & a contemporary twist on Covid. This piece has everything.

— RareKoko

Incredible historical artifact by a new photographer on SuperRare whose catalogue is bound to be legendary. Leading with a Genesis piece of Curt Cobain should say everything you need to know about what to expect from this collection.

— RareKoko

This collaboration from Adidas x Prada is just the beginning of what will become a seminal year in Cryptoart as cultural trendsetters + major fashion houses begin adopting the medium and exploring its true potential.

Where do I start? Methodically drawn with a single consecutive line per frame, the iconic sports moment was captured perfectly and recognizable even without colors. Show this to anyone and they’ll know who it is.

“Red Automatic III”

Edition 1 of 1

ABOUT – sheet glass, red oil paint, cheap gaffer tape, printed paper, petals, pollen,  the artists fingerprints. 18295  ×  26986 pixels –  151 x 213 cm – 59 x 84 inches @ 350dpi. 1/1 NFT +  fine-art giclee print on Hahnemühle cotton rag –  signed and titled by the artist. ABOUT ‘THE PORTRAIT  AUTOMATIC’ SERIES – A collection of deconstructed, gravity defying portrait sculptures – built from traditional fine-art materials and found objects collected from the streets of London, UK. Each artwork is composed and assembled directly onto my A3 scanner and captured in a single exposure in other-worldly macroscopic detail and incredible resolution.

Photographer and digital artist, based in Iceland. In love with Northern landscapes, shibari and macabre.

“Anhedonia”

Edition 1 of 1

Anhedonia is my personal reflection on the psychological state of numbness and inability to feel pleasure, a symptom commonly known to accompany depression. Inspired by my own experience and the eponymous song by Chelsea
 Wolfe and Emma Ruth Rundle, it depicts a complete lockdown of one’s body and mind, the powerlessness and yet a certain calm acceptance: floating in the air, unable to move, waiting for deliverance. The image was taken on Hellisheidi mountain ridge (Iceland), in February 2021. Ropework is done by me. Model : Svala Johannsdottir

Inna Modja is a Malian-French Visual Artist & Musician. Her Photography is inspired by the work of her mentor Malick Sidibé, and West African Photographers of the 60s, like Seydou Keita and Sory Sanlé. Growing up in Bamako, she was fascinated by the natural elegance of the people in the streets, which she loves to capture in sophiscated compositions. Through her Music, a powerful Desert Blues she empowers Women. She’s a UN Ambassador & a strong figure for Social & Climate Justice.

“The Wrestler”

Edition 1 of 1

“Your hand opens and closes, opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralysed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as birds’ wings.” – Rumi. Capturing the natural grace & strenght of The Wrestling Champion, was a joyful moment. With kids playing around in the water, the decor that i set up came to life.

Samantha Cavet is a 24 year old photographer, born in Venezuela, and currently based in Madrid, Spain. Her photography focuses on portraying the human abyss, solitude and melancholic feelings, as well as dreamy pictorial landscapes. What inspires her most to create photographs are paintings, films, and music.

“The void of reality”

Edition 1 of 1

What is reality? If something is real anyway, do we really see what we think we see?

Visual artist from Eastern Europe

“After The World, The Pale”

Edition 1 of 1

The area of transition between the world and the Pale is called “porch collapse”. The “Porch Collapse” series is heavily inspired by the concept of the Pale in the world of Disco Elysium. The Pale is achromatic, odourless, and featureless, the “enemy of matter and life”. Therefore, it can only be measured through the matter that surrounds it. It is not *like* any other or *any* thing in the world. It is the transition state of being into nothingness. It is a “location without a defined location, into which one’s memories scramble with others’ and no one’s.” By the time I became familiar with the Pale I had already started working on the series, so my plan wasn’t to make a direct translation of it in photographic form. Finding out about the Pale only further solidified my idea. In a way, both the concept of the Pale and my work are ways to illustrate something that is mostly in the realm of intuition and outside of language and description.  

Street and travel photographer from London. I run a YouTube channel focusing on the enjoyment of photography as well as sharing my journey.

“Commuting In Style”

Edition 1 of 1

This photo was taken in London in January 2022. This passage is usually really busy but on one quiet mid week day, only a handful of people were there. Myself and a good friend were waiting for the right moment when I caught the lady in the red coat. I scrambled to get my camera ready and honestly thought I blew it. I didn’t check the image after I took it and what a surprise did I get when I offloaded the memory card later that day. One of my favourite moments and also having a friend with me to see it is a plus.

DaDa is a multi-disciplinary media artist that works at the intersection of interactive technology, architecture, and performing arts. By creating artworks in various forms, she explores the frameworks that shape our cognition and the experiences that manipulate our perception. Experiential by nature, her works focus on transforming the audience from passive viewers to active participants.

Becoming Space #1

Edition 1 of 1

Though we are all small-scale energies that emit and receive through our sensory organs, the afferent and efferent nerve pathways, and the brain, we are not an array of algorithmic functions and logical gateways that passively process events. If we project our existence to a virtual space, it will always be in a state of forming and reforming as the space is becoming rather than being. Algorithmically driven, Becoming Space consists of three digital dynamic architecture that continuously divide and reconfigure the virtual space. At first glance, the viewer experiences a ghost-like presence inhabiting the space as the cube appears to grow, as if it is empowered by a mythical force. On closer inspection, the tangible forms reveal themselves, but not wholly identifiable as it is constantly shifting. As the first of this series of works, Becoming Space #1 attempts to depict my own existence with a spatial form reflecting the states that fluctuates between ordered and chaotic. It encourages the viewers to explore their ever-evolving energy that drives to form their space.

Stacey Ransom and Jason Mitchell create highly-detailed and visually-lush photographic and digital art scenarios and portraits.

“It Will Be Ours”

Edition 1 of 1

This was inspired by Jonas Salk’s quote. “If all the insects were to disappear from the earth, within 50 years all life on earth would end. If all human beings disappeared from the earth, within 50 years all forms of life would flourish.” Created on a two-part set with a living dress and intricately crafted props and prosthetics. The insects were captured separately and composited into the final scene.

He has shown work at BTC Miami 2021, Art Basel 2021, Frieze London Art Fair 2021, DCentral Miami 2021, and the Shoyu Metaverse. karan4d’s work deconstructs human generated semiotics, such as text and visual art, and resynthesizes them in the form of audiovisual experiences via his set of neural networks known as FELIX.

“natural synthetics -“

Edition 1 of 1

Plotinus refused to have his portrait painted. He viewed the body as a sardonic, flawed vessel for ψυχή, a poor container for soul. He had no interest in capturing a reflection of a reflection; an image of an image.

Hello, I’m Mich, a street photographer from Cape Town. My body of work attempts to capture the honesty, vulnerability, and beauty of moments that emerge when individuals enter a state of otherness.

“A State of Otherness: Breathe”

Edition 1 of 1

Breathe – Untethered from the present his mind could finally be set free to drift off into the fog with the going of the tide. Captured in NYC. _ Through this body of work, I explore and capture the moments that emerge when individuals enter a state of otherness, where and when they find themselves in a state of being ‘in between’ within their daily lives. It is within these moments that I find pockets of honesty, vulnerability, and raw beauty which we often overlook. Moments that encourage connection and spark memories, which in turn invite the viewer to step into a shared state of otherness as well.

diewiththemostlike is a fuckable energy drink floating in a retention pond outside of a strip mall in your hometown. Create nothing. Consume everything.

“we still felt”

Edition 1 of 1

we couldn’t see most things anymore but it didn’t matter too much our purpose was obligation our eyes, dimming lanterns broadcasting morse code to hibernating insects that would never wake and illuminating flattened dune grass on a worn path to the bust of an indifferent sea drowning was preferred to our listless wading but we refused to sink
into the rot below containing things consumed from shore and the bones of our failed marriage and in that refusal,  existed in a state of perpetual loss smoothed by the teeth of restless water we suffered then like we suffered now though the dullness of its delivery often slid into our stomachs unencumbered without resistance or consideration buoyancy for our flesh that only sought sand exploding shapes were better than sunsets anyhow.

“A Magnificent Waste Of Time ( Come To Bed )”

Edition 1 of 1
internet research : A widely
accepted and quoted statistic (lots of
self help blogs and search engine
question results) is that the average
modern human will spend 90,000+
hours working in their lifetime or 1/3 of
their adult existence. This is based on
the 8 hour work day, 5 day work week.
It seems another generally stated
and accepted statistic (some
randoms talking on message boards)
is that the average working artist
tends to pull 10 hr + days and a 6-7
day work week. digital painting |
2022


I create cyberpunk worlds from my photos.

Shinjuku Station

Edition 1 of 1
When I arrived in Shinjuku, I was
blasted with neon lights and giant
screens. With the bright light and
chaotic sound, my senses are
overwhelmed. But, once I get used to
it, I start to enjoy it, even crave it. I
took this photo in Tokyo in 2009.
Hyperreality effects added in 2022

 “Jumping Cats”. It’s a unique work that
 paved the way for the artist’s future career.

“Álfheimur”

Edition 1 of 1
I am not I and I am not you. Laughter
sounds different when my lips are
braced shut. The concept of “I” stuck
in my throat while I wash in your peel.
Surrounded. Stranger beneath
stranger ceilings. Mourning past as
comfort. Remembering then wasn’t
safe either. Remembering memory as
a synonym for home. Detached,
clenched, hovering within the shell of
my forehead – spiralling into colours –
making sense of it all. Oil on canvas |
100 x 100cm | 2019


Swedish Artist / Digital spray painter based in Barcelona. I painted portraits of my dog in the 80s, started to paint graffiti in the 90s, studied Art and graphic design in the 00s. Currently I am doing Digital Paintings and animations, both personal work and client commissions.

The Original Files

Edition 1 of 1
My first digitally hand drawn frame by 
frame animation. File: mp4 Length: 19 sec 
Size: 2000 x 2000 px Year: 2021. Set in the 
far future, a wolf-mutant is on the quest for a 
disc containing the original PSD files of
 a digital artwork made thousands of years 
ago. This animation is based on an illustration
 from my retro futuristic series “Style Files
 – the quest for the original disc” made in 2015.
It’s about the authenticity of digital artworks
 and the romantic pleasure of imagining that
 your work will be an important piece of
 history when we’re all gone. When I first came
 up with this story I thought that the most
 authentic way to make and store a digital
 artwork piece would be (in my case) to
 put the original PSD files in a hand signed CD.
Now since the problem of authenticity for
 digital art is solved with the blockchain i 
think it’s very suitable to make this animation
 my first NFT on Super Rare. The collector of 
this NFT will also receive a hand signed CD
 containing the original files.


Photographer & Director, based between London & Los Angeles. His work focuses on creating a hyperreal universe that challenges identity and sexuality; and has worked with clients & Publications such as K-Swiss, NME, Rolling Stone, i-D, Vogue, ITP Media Group & more.

“V’JIXUS”

Edition 1 of 1
An image… or perhaps a cursed image? 
V’JIXUS, Also known as ‘The Trickster’. 
Once summoned, this demon is found 
living in the shadowy depths of ‘Death 
Valley’. With nails as sharp as obsidian 
glass, and teeth made of pure gold… 
I wouldn’t want to become this creatures prey.
A piece from this series featuring Noel 
Garcia, was featured in the #132 THE 
(PARA)NORMAL ISSUE of Glamcult Magazine –
– this image itself is one of my all time 
favorite pieces i’ve created. This work 
really shows the initial universe i’ve 
began to create. Dimensions: 3840 × 5760px.

“Absolute Divinity”

Edition 1 of 1
Standing at the foot of a canyon I am transformed 
into my final form. I am a celestial, divine being 
commanding the attention of the universe. As a 
makeup artist I aspire to not compliment but to
 completely transform. Over the course of eight
 hours I altered my hair, face and skin by hand to
 become one with the ephemeral beauty of a
 desert sunset. The colors of my makeup were 
individually created to complement this fleeting
 moment and were applied by hand. Even though
 the makeup eventually washed off my body and
 the sun swiftly tucked away, this moment is now
 immortalized. In this work I am glorious, I am 
divine. Captured by Nathan Sweet on a Canon 
SureShot 35mm

 told my mother had cancer. That trip was life changing,

 of blood. Inspired and modeled after the famous

« Pink love? » Conceptual surreal absurdity. Estonian NFTartist Eduard Zentsik.

3 years ago

I present you my new art collection. This creative NFT work unites localness with a global vision, shattering the viewers’ expectations and deceiving the spectator in a way that no one has seen previously. Unlike other works, the new collection contains a pink color that suggests new riddles for the viewer’s mind and represents pure and innocent love.

A series of symbolic digital retro-manipulations makes use of the methods well known to my followers. Among those are blurring the boundaries between the artistic and the illustrative, a skillful aesthetic mashup of archival photographs and medieval illustrations, a daring mix of modern and old-fashioned.

The new works feature the theme of “Love as a riddle” displayed to its fullest degree. Pink color brings novelty and new riddles. Why pink? What do the moving shapes mean? What is the point? What is the love everyone is thirsty for?

Pink Love 7

This NFT art opens a free space of imagination for the viewer, raising many questions. Works are saturated with mysticism, magic, and feelings. Each detail expresses the infinity of meanings. Each layer contains secret symbols and codes. This art represents a mystical error in eternity, a dream in a dream, ordinary in extraordinary, and vice versa.

Pink Love

Manipulation with viewer mindsets lies in the control of the viewer’s attention and guessing riddles through layers, colors, and movement. This is achieved by using pink dots and layers, the background of large abandoned rooms, and images of mysterious ladies. Reflexively, the spectator explains for yourself the meaning of each picture.

Pink Love 2

A series of artworks of conceptual surreal absurdity. A world where there is no time. Pure love in the crypto art world. Series of seven NFTart works 1 of 1 / motion / mp4. Thanks to SuperRare for a family of artists who support each other!

„Most of my art projects have never been seen. I am a designer and a freelance artist. It is of great importance for me to participate in the movement of the NFT of artists. New world with crypto art. This is very promising, this is the future and it is changing the art world before our eyes. I am very happy to be part of the SuperRare.”

Scottish artist inspired by Greek and Celtic Mythology. Still painting Gods and Monsters after all these years.

“Asterion, the Minotaur”

Edition 1 of 1

The Minotaur was a famous monster in Greek Mythology, the son of Queen Pasiphae of Crete and a white bull. His birth name, Asterion, in ancient Greek means ‘starry one’ and suggests a link with the bull constellation Taurus. He was imprisoned in the labyrinth at Crete by King Minos and fed a yearly sacrificial offering of Athenian youths. Eventually, the Minotaur was slain by the Athenian prince Theseus with the help of the KIng’s daughter Ariadne. Digital painting, 4954 x 6000 pixels.

I am Xin, a Chinese American artist. My work probably says something about me and how I see the world. I like to make beautiful things and distort reality a little bit.

The Birth of New Venus

Edition 1 of 1

Like in the famous Renaissance painting by Botticelli, the New Venus is the Goddess of Love and Beauty; she embodies a new hope and a sociocultural shift. The New Venus represents a rebirth of the gender ideology of being a woman; she is fearless and curious, she is not just a statue for idealization or admiration. —Painted in the mid-1480s by Botticelli, commissioned by a member of the Medici family, The Birth of Venus, is one of the most iconic paintings in the history of art. Venus symbolizes an idealized beauty and a religious figure.

The Nymph in Suburbs

Edition 1 of 1

The nymph was reborn in a park away from the skyscrapers. It was dawn just after the rain. Nobody has seen her yet. 1600×2250 px, mp4

Li Boar is an artist and animator from Transylvania, Romania. His work is super detailed and saturated, merging a surreal outlook with cartoony sensibilities, Escheresque impossible geometry and lots of Easter Eggs.

“Carcosa”

Edition 1 of 1

“Carcosa” is my SuperRare genesis piece. It encompasses several of the mainstay influences in my art: surrealism, Escheresque impossible architecture, a preference for super-saturated colorwork, and my passion for weird fiction literature. Carcosa is a fictional city first created by Ambrose Bierce in 1886 and expanded upon by R.W. Chambers in his infamous short story collection “The King In Yellow”. “Along the shore the cloud waves break, The twin suns sink behind the lake, The shadows lengthen In Carcosa. Strange is the night where black stars rise, And strange moons circle through the skies, But stranger still is Lost Carcosa. Songs that the Hyades shall sing, Where flap the tatters of the King, Must die unheard in Dim Carcosa. Song of my soul, my voice is dead, Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed Shall dry and die in Lost Carcosa.”

Artist. World Creator.

The Bull & The Buddhist: Tranquility

Edition 1 of 1

An ethereal harmony created as The Bull and Buddhist collide to become one. Equal parts rage and tranquility, the opposing energies create a meditative stillness in their marriage. Made in collaboration with AI – the Bull of Tranquility brings fortune and abundance. Music by La+ch

“Hustle”

Edition 1 of 1

This piece represents two of the most forceful and dynamic elements of life in New York City, density and motion. New York is an ever-changing, moving, living organism. A tightly packed metropolis filled with millions of moving parts, each with its own story. During this trip, I felt a sudden realization of the scope of this city, and coming from an upbringing in Utah I found the contrast fascinating. This piece is my effort in capturing the density and motion of New York City; a place that was instrumental in broadening my perspective of the world, and driving my growth as a photographer.

British artist, photographer and director, known for his cinematic style and the narrative themes woven throughout his work. Finn’s images have earned him a loyal following and clients such as Apple, Cartier, Tesla, Audi and Omega. Finn has published two best-selling books on photography (available in 11 foreign language editions), and his work has been featured by many notable publications such as The Guardian, Wired Magazine & Forbes.

“The Whale’s Mouth”

Edition 1 of 1

“The Whale’s Mouth” is the first piece in my “Atmøs” NFT collection. This is a series celebrating the elements in full flow. How small we all are in comparison. I love nothing more than capturing their unrestrained might at work. This particular piece depicts a rare “Whale’s Mouth” cloud formation/thunderstorm that threw lightning bolts, fierce winds, tornadoes, and hailstones the size of tennis balls across the East Coast of the US in 2018. One of nature’s most alarming and astonishing phenomena, the shelf cloud looming over Manhattan, is often referred to as a ‘whale’s mouth’ since the dark and ribbed formations give the impression of being consumed by a giant whale. Regarded as one of the most severe weather events on record to pass through the Hudson Valley, I wanted this NFT to expand on the story depicted in the image. Using the token itself as a canvas, I have inscribed details associated with the storm (pooled from news area weather reports from the area) into the metadata. This link that NFT’s provide, a blend between art and technology, forms a unique record of a rare atmospheric event now immortalised on the blockchain.

I’ve been drawing lines in NYC for nearly 25 years ..

My practice encourages the viewer to turn their mind from the fragility of the material world, towards a contemplation of something more stable and infinite. I depict a visual realm at once fantastical, foreign and strangely familiar. Three-dimensional, dreamscapes composed of fractal shapes and ordered geometric patterns are populated by extra-terrestrial forms, anthropomorphic machines and plant-life moving purposefully throughout spaces that operate as portals into the psychological.

“Mung-wok”

Edition 1 of 1

Mung-wok is a multi-lingual elf, capable of morphing into any living creature he looks at. He is a friend to all, including those he is yet to meet. To them he appears as one of their own. He spends most of his time investigating the natural landscape meeting and helping all the wonderful species he encounters. When the sun begins to set you can hear him singing his name to the other animals, they find this incredibly soothing. The tone of his voice magically synchronises with the warm glow from the sun, allowing them the rest they need. These ancient psychedelic creatures are expert healers, capable of manipulating reality. They stumbled across our dimension a few millennia ago, bringing wisdom and mischief along with an infinite supply of laughter. They harnessed the magical energies of the invisible realm in order to manifest themselves amongst us. Using complex mystical powers to intricately intertwine and sew their sacred intelligence into the fabric of our lives. They teach through plants and playful metaphors, showing us how to realign with the natural flow of the multiverse.
