Colombia’s Artrade Announces Series of NFT Drops on the Zeromint NFT Marketplace
Renowned artist Andres Kal will be the first of four Artrade artists featured throughout September 2021 to offer one-of-a-kind NFTs on the Zeromint NFT marketplace.
RENO, NV / BOGOTA, COLOMBIA — August 27, 2021 — Artrade.co, one of the largest online galleries in South America, has announced plans to feature four renowned artists, each of whom will feature and offer NFTs during scheduled weekly drops on the Zeromint NFT Marketplace throughout the month of September 2021. Artrade.co founder Sylvia Barrero initially announced the NFT plans and collaboration with the GoChain Foundation and Zeromint in May 2021.
“Fire with Fire”, Andres Kal
Andres Kal, a visual artist from Bogotá, who focuses primarily on contemporary fine art and female portraits, will be the first Artrade.co artist to auction and sell NFTs on Zeromint during the week of 06–12 September 2021. Thereafter, the three other artists will follow in lockstep and feature their respective NFT art between 13 September — 01 October 2021. Zeromint will announce additional details in the coming weeks.
Andres was born in Bogota, Colombia in 1975. He studied and initially excelled as a graphics designer, illustrator, and as a teacher before channeling his creative artistic talents as a painter. Andres’ work has been described as capturing “the perfect moment”, when subjects are in an introspective state, unaware of their surroundings, lost in thought. His collections have been showcased in Vancouver, Hong Kong, Miami, Mexico City, and London. Andres has also been featured in the Arit magazine and previously collaborated with brands including Grolsch Brewery.
Andres described his current style as working “with the feelings inside, in an effort to make them more visible. More external … akin to desire, something that you feel pushed to find, but it’s difficult to know what it is.” Kal further described “When you think you have it, it’s melted in your hands. It’s going between your fingers. You never can get it. That’s how I feel about the characters in those images that I paint.” Andres is planning to mint and sell multiple NFTs on Zeromint during the week of 06–12 September 2021. Artrade and Zeromint will release additional details on the NFTs to be auctioned and sold by Andres during the week of 30 August 2021.
Today’s announcement follows the recent auction of “impactful and eco-friendly” NFT art by renowned international artist Sophie Brussaux on Zeromint. For more information on the Zeromint NFT Markeplace and its auctions, please visit zeromint.com.
