Faerian believes fantasy art is underrepresented in traditional art galleries. It’s such a shame because it transports people into a different world, in a way that no other type of art can. It has always been an important part of our cultures (we wrote a great article about it)

It makes people:
• live epic adventures
• gain magical abilities
• become somebody else
• live in a different universe
• and just daydream in general that there may be actual fairies living in the forest…

Fantasy art describes so many different possible universes!

We will provide you with a fantasy experience as immersive as possible. Hence, our gallery considers all art mediums, including digital art, photography, drawings, paintings, sculptures, jewelry, as well as music and writing.

While we believe NFTs are a great opportunity for digital artists to live from their art, our gallery is inclusive of all art mediums. We sell not only digital artworks, but also original physical artworks, that may or may not be linked to an NFT depending on the Artist’s choice. We also sell prints and derived products. 

An NFT, or non-fungible token, is a unique digital representation of a piece of an artist’s work. Its primary purpose is purely symbolic: they don’t actually sell the file of their art – they sell symbolic ownership to their art. 

NFTs are popular nowadays for digital artists who don’t have the asset of scarcity physical artists may have. Since they cannot sell an “original” physical artwork, instead they can sell a symbolic, unique representation of that artwork.

That unique representation is “minted” (= created), on a “blockchain”, which is a sort of large database shared by multiple computers across the world. Because of the way it is built, that database can never be deleted, meaning their artwork will live forever as an NFT once it is minted.

Yes! We always choose eco-friendly blockchains.

Our NFTs are currently minted on Ethereum since they recently changed their algorithm to be more energy-efficient, and they proved it on this article released in January 2023. Quote: “YouTube used over 175 times more energy watching Gangnam Style in 2019 than Ethereum uses per year.”

Faerian is committed to letting people enjoy fantasy art while protecting our beautiful planet.

You don’t need to own any crypto to start. We explain you everything about how to purchase a NFT with just your credit card. Read this tutorial:  https://faerian.art/nft-tutorial

Faerian acts primarily as an art gallery, so we only take a commission on each sale with a percentage agreed upon with the Artist. A majority of the sale always goes directly to the Artist, and so do the royalties.

Great question. 3 reasons!

 Firstly, you might have some difficulty finding an NFT created by our Artists. Most of them don’t know how to create an NFT firsthand, nor have time to do it. So Faerian creates the NFT on their behalf – with their permission, so that they can focus exclusively on their art without having to worry about what is happening in the crypto space. And if they can focus on their art, it means you’ll be able to enjoy more of their artwork in the future!

 Secondly, when you buy the NFT from Faerian itself, you get the “Faerian Guardian perks” which tags you as an official benefactor of the gallery. You’ll belong to a close community of Guardians and have special voting rights in the gallery, as well as:

• Access to a private Discord channel
• The opportunity to participate in the jury for different Art contests organized by Faerian
• The opportunity to provide your opinion about the next collections in advance
• Access to private online events (meeting with Artists, etc.)
• And more to come!

 Lastly, the only way for you to discover the next Faerian collections and the next best artists, the ones that will have value, is to invest in the current ones. If you click on the “Collections Map”, you will see, for example, that Collection #2 can be released only after at least a large portion of the artwork in Collection #1 was bought.

We are participating in physical events worldwide as much as possible. For example, we were exhibited at the NFT Factory in Paris twice in December 2022 and February 2023; Mecenate Fine Art Gallery in Rome, Italy in March 2023, followed by Seoul, South Korea, NFT.NYC 2023 in the United States, and NFC Lisboa 2023 in Portugal.

We’re open to any ideas that would help promote our fantasy artists. In the meantime, an online art gallery is well adapted to this type of art since it is usually digital, and we can attract more fantasy fans from the entire world without them having to travel to a specific location.

Yes! We love feedback and new ideas. Send them to hello@faerian.art, or directly on the Discord server in the channel “shrine-of-ideas”!
