The Union of Russian Artists assessed the prospects of digital paintings – RT in Russian

“I am still an artist of the traditional direction, and therefore it is difficult for me to say how much it will develop, but I think it will, because all technologies are developing very actively today. How popular it will be, time and audience interest on the Internet or on some platforms will show, ”he said in an interview with the radio station“ Moscow Says ”.

In his opinion, an artist should be able to draw, write, sculpt, and if these are some kind of technological innovations, then this is interesting, but this is just a creator.

Digital paintings are a new technology called NFT or non-fungible token in the blockchain network. At Christie’s, such a work was sold for $ 69.3 million.
