About this collection
GIFTS is the first limited nft fine art edition of AINO.
AINO is a contemporary artist working in the field of spacial art and installation.
Each GIFT is a non-generative unique digital twin of a physical artwork.
The radical visual reduction of the pieces emphasises the principle of conscious multidimensional perception. A single element in each work stands for itself and simultaneously for the whole ecosystem as its representative part.
The "white on white" aesthetics of the digital pieces convey the spacial qualities and materiality of the original wax works.
Similar to the physical art collecting experience, each GIFT is a genuine artwork that won't be multiplied or generically modified. It represents a one-of-a-kind fine art asset in the virtual space.

AINO’s work is about connection with the Essence through a physical form. Her minimalistic yet deeply emotional spacial objects touch both human and spiritual aspects of our Being.
The idea of interconnectedness is transformed into a holistic approach to a creative process. Each stage - from the first impulse, choice of materials, physical processing, and manufacturing to the final performance is equally important.
A predominant material wax, combined with natural elements such as seeds, plants, soil, fabrics, minerals, or found objects, became AINO’s distinctive artistic signature. Due to its ability to preserve elements and substances, wax points to Time as a non-physical element in an artist’s work.
Often the life process of the work begins after its completion. Materials embedded in wax undergo a slow but constant transformation, perpetually changing their color and structure, going into reactions within each other and the substance of a piece.
Aino lives and works in Heidelberg, Germany. A winner of international competitions, she performs, amongst others, at the Art Basel - the US and the Swiss venues, SCOPE, the Löwenbräu-Areal and KUNST in Zürich and C.A.R. at the Zollverein UNESCO World Heritage Site.
As the first nft release of AINO's work, GIFTS are in open access and can be minted publicly without pre-sale stages.
The owners of the GIFTS receive access to the presale stage of the upcoming Fine Art Series TILES.
Each GIFT contains a Gift - a personal visual message from the artist as unlockable content.
