M€GA - Make Europe Great Again

In the framework of this project, 100 NFTs have been dropped which are based on the latest painting by Michael Paulutz. This project is to express solidarity with the victims of the war in Ukraine. The motif was painted on an artprint of Jan Vermeer's famous "Girl with a Pearl Earring".

It is a charity project. The "winner" of the original painting, who will be the final bidder on eBay, will be able to choose a specific project or organization related to the conflict in Ukraine. All funds will be donated to that project.

You can find and bid for the original painting under the following link on eBay Germany: https://www.ebay.de/itm/154882610892

In the run-up of the project, it became apparent that many people wanted to donate through NFTs. So I soon decided to offer this option.

As an artist I never really wanted to participate in the NFT area with any of my work. I prefer haptic, real things. But there seems to be no escape from the digital era!

So now here we are on opensea.

As a little extra we added the extended version of the Making Of as a bonus for every purchased NFT. It's about 31 minutes long, and shows the procees of painting and framing. You will receive a link to the video after your purchase.

A shorter five-minute long version of this Making Of is available here: https://youtu.be/JfpvPelDzH4

Enjoy and let's help some people out there!
