The First NanoArt NFT Ever


I experimented for over 50 years with different media and art forms including digital art, murals, acrylic and oil painting, mixed media, faux painting, trompe l’oeil, collage, graphics, animation, web design, video, multimedia, and photography. During my university years, I studied micro/nano technology and the physics of materials at submicron level. For the last 40 years, combining my scientific with my artistic backgrounds, I developed and refined my NanoArt process of creating, visualizing, and exhibiting sculptures and landscapes at atomic and molecular scales. In parallel, my interest for the subconscious mind and the work of Salvador Dali, the master of the subconscious imagery inspired me in my Surrealist Photography works. I found similarities between NanoArt and Surrealist Photography. For daydreamers, both art forms boost imagination and creativity. The artworks can not be seen in real life, either due to the physical limitations of the human eye (1 nanometer is about 100000 times smaller than diameter of human hair) or because channel the unconscious as a mean to unlock the power of imagination focused on dreams, psychoanalysis, and fantastic imagery.

Personal Info

NanoArt and Surrealist Photography

NanoArt

"NanoArt is a new art discipline at the art-science-technology intersections. It features nanolandscapes (molecular and atomic landscapes which are natural structures of matter at molecular and atomic scales) and nanosculptures (structures created by scientists and artists by manipulating matter at molecular and atomic scales using chemical and physical processes). These structures are visualized with powerful research tools like scanning electron microscopes and atomic force microscopes and their scientific images are captured and further processed by using different artistic techniques to convert them into artworks showcased for large audiences." (Cris Orfescu)

Surrealist Photography

Surrealist Photography is focused on dreams, psychoanalysis, and fantastic imagery. Rejecting a rational vision in favor of the unconscious and dreams, artists found strange beauty in the unconventional. They stress the subconscious by using effects, unexpected juxtapositions, etc.
