Originated by the mind of the emerging artist Ramiro Alban, our NFT collection was created to offer an experience.

Auradogs emits a certain vibe that can easily be felt. Hopefully, as more dog lovers and NFT enthusiasts tune into Auradogs, that vibe can reverberate into real help for countless animal shelters and stray dogs around the world.

Beyond the artistic element of the collection, which we will be going into detail below, the NFTs act as the centerpiece for the Auradogs DAO. They offer holders access to the community, enabling them to stake their NFTs and earn $AURA, the governance token of the Auradogs DAO.

Without further due, let’s take a deep look at the Stray Dogs collection and how it stands out from everything else in the NFT space.

The Artist Behind Auradogs: Ramiro Alban

Our friend and colleague Ramiro Alban is an artist, animal rights activist, and dog lover from Ecuador.

He is widely recognized as an emerging artist by a long list of A-list celebrities. Some of Ramiro’s most expensive art pieces hang on the walls of Hollywood stars such as Katie Perry, Orlando Bloom, Lionel Richie, Ryan Seacrest, and William Shatner.

Before joining Auradogs, Ramiro was already using his artistic skills to capture the loving connection between humans and dogs. He is an essential member of our team, being responsible for the AuraDogs brand design, NFT collection, and artistic direction.

“My art is tactile and interactive because I believe that we want to feel our pets, even if it is through a work of art. My passion and craft have driven me to use various tools like: lenticulars, anamorphism, ferrofluids, magnets, textures such as acrylics, leather, fabrics, embroidery, and some engineering such as gears and cogs, AR, etc. These materials give the work a feeling of being alive and creating a unique personal moment.”

Detailing the Collection

The uniqueness of Auradogs NFTs comes from the combination of pop culture elements with the beauty of the canine race. Dogs are portrayed from a spectrum of love and positivity, thus encouraging altruism and a deeper connection with animals.

Ramiro’s work is based on the color of the aura. The dog paintings pop out immediately due to the use of different color pallets to convey distinct vibrations, frequencies, and emotions. The collection will be kicked off by the Stray Auradogs series, celebrating the wild, untamed, and wanderlust nature every stray dog embodies.

The collection is comprised of 7,777 NFTs divided into 7 groups, each one portraying a different dog breed. While we already have 4 races picked out for the collection, we will let the community decide on the remaining 3 races.

Part 2 Coming Up

In our next blog post, we will be detailing what makes the Auradogs collection unique in terms of utility. “Stray” tuned and learn how our NFTs act as centerpieces to the whole Auradogs ecosystem.

About Auradogs
