San Francisco, California May 17, 2021 (Issuewire.com) - FROM MASTERPIECES TO DIGITAL ART
Drawing on the artistic tradition of the church of S. Maria della Carità (16th century), in Bologna (Italy), which boasts some masterpieces and other prestigious works within it, Samac's community has undertaken a dialogue with the visual arts, to question spirituality and contemporary experience.
This commitment has seen the realization of various projects and exhibitions of contemporary art in recent years, which you can visit here: Samac NFT Collection. We wanted to continue this path with the creation of an exclusive NFT collection signed by Samac Parish, the short name of our parish community. With the contribution of Cristina Gozzi, digital graphic, and Chiara Marzaduri, graphic designer, Samac Parish, short name of the parish community, acts collectively and decided to create an Exclusive NFT Collection on Mintable.
Being the first religious-inspired community to do so, Samac arrived before many important artists and known figures. You can share and talk about Samac in SettimanaNews.it, an important Italian news and information site.
The project is a reinterpretation of Samac's artistic heritage, with an updated message, and the expression of a living community that wants not only to draw on the past but to fully inhabit the whole contemporary. Thus, the oldest work Samac kept is from 1550, and the most recent is an NFT.
Five centuries ago it was "contemporary art", now we consider it "classic", but the interest in art is never over as it continues through digital art and projects into the future.
You can view the NFTs listed by Samac under these stores:
ABOUT SAMAC
We are a young and vibrant parish community from Bologna, Italy. We walk together into a new era and towards a technological revolution. Our church preserves important masterpieces of classical art. Thanks to this spiritual and artistic heritage, for some years we have enriched our collection with works of contemporary art, street art and now we aim to do it with NFT. We wish to act not as a single artist, but as a collective of artists, who express the identity of our community. We are graphic web designers, painters, and various artists. Our first project is to link classical art to NFT tokens, and we have various other projects to be realized in our roadmap by the end of 2021.
