Although “Klara of the Laughing Roses” is certainly not a household name in the art world (nor even her real name), we often forget the empowering nature that being an artist on Web3 can have, especially for members of historically unrepresented backgrounds in the visual arts. Remote villages, lack of art education, and even gender and generation all play a role in who gets “seen.” And although NFTs give artists the ability to craft their own identity and sell their own story behind a veil of secrecy, their motives entirely their own, the space is not immune to issues of access.
Billed as an egalitarian space where all creators are “created equal,” OrangeHare believes in the potential of NFTs to break barriers, and is committed to giving voices to those who, for whatever reason, may not have been heard clearly- including “Klara of the Laughing Roses.” All works are original encaustic on wood creations assisted in production by MidJourney.
