Creator of the Week...
This gorgeous three-tier NFT auction 'Higher Self' recently caught our eye, so we wanted to share a bit more about its creator, Jason Matias.
Jason's work has been internationally published with collectors in six countries. With well over a decade of experience traversing the planet creating stunning art through the focal lens, Jason Matias has established himself as one of Seattle’s favorite artists.
After discovering the technical wonders of blockchain, he entered the Stacks NFT scene, sharing two already iconic collections: The Bali Light Collection and the Higher Self auction. His style creates a surreal connection between imagination and nature, allowing viewers to establish an immediate connection with each piece.
His unique Higher Self auction (featured above) has three unlockable tiers:
Tier 1 - Auction reserve: 1,000 STX
Tier 2 - 10,000 STX: The NFT + a 24"x36” limited edition, fine art print produced on hahnemuhle photo rag satin. value - $2,600 edition #1.
Tier 3 - 30,000 STX: The NFT + 36”x54” or 48”x72” full production, limited edition, fine art print. The art will be produced on lumachrome paper and mounted to TruView acrylic, and ready to hang. value: +/- $10,000. The size awarded is at the winner’s discretion. An example of a 48”x72” finished work can be seen in my pinned tweet.
Take a look behind the lens for this collection. Happy bidding, Stacks community!
Thanks for tuning in! We'll see you next week.
