Short Bio

worldsmostexpensiveartwork.com is an art project by German artist Frederik F. Mettjes. It combines blockchain technology with digital painting and the principles of the commercial art market. It's the first Crypto-artwork, which determines its selling price and is therefore always the most expensive artwork in the world. The necessary programming was implemented in so-called 'smart contracts' of the Ethereum blockchain with the programming language 'Solidity'. The digital painting was created with the Software 'Painter'; there is only this one digital original - no more copies, apart from low-res view duplicates. Only the owner of the artwork designated through the smart Contracts has access to the original. In addition, the artwork consists of 1,000,000 crypto tokens that anyone can buy. These crypto-tokens serve to preserve the value of the artwork, as they represent a share of the artwork and can be freely traded without ever having to sell the whole entire artwork. The overall value is ultimately defined by this. So, this synthesis is composed from the digital painting, the smart contracts and the crypto tokens all together, producing the 'World's Most Expensive Artwork'. About the Artist: Frederik Folkert Mettjes was born on March 31, 1981 in Hamburg, Germany as the youngest of three siblings. After studying illustration at the HAW Hamburg and graduating with the academic degree Master of Arts, Frederik F. Mettjes worked as a freelance artist, illustrator and lecturer. A variety of cartoons, portraits, paintings of 'women and animals' represent his phenomenal talent and exciting range of artistic oeuvre. See his work at – www.mettj.es. Among other pieces of art, he has added more than 900 paintings to his portfolio as part of the ‘Fresh Fish’ (Der Frische Fisch) series, in just over 10 years.
