8-Year-old Spanish artist Leonardo Pastrana and his family announced the debut of NFT series with Cyphrly Studio, the new NFT unit by the blockchain arm Lambda256 of Dunamu. Marking the first of his NFTs, Cyphrly Studio helped reimagine some of Leonardo’s hand-painted works that turned the young talent’s artistic vision into reality.

Three different works of NFT by the young artist were released on Upbit NFT on February 9th. In recreating his work as NFTs, Cyphrly Studio provided visual direction with layers of technology embedded in his artworks. From meticulously animated movements, sound effects by an eminent Korean sound director, Leonardo’s NFTs were fully orchestrated versions of his creations down to the finest detail.

"I wanted to play with the Jellydog that I painted!"

said the 8-year-old Leonardo Pastrana.

"So Cyphrly gave him color-changing chips, had the dog make barking and farting sounds, which was really cool. I had so much fun."

Having held several solo exhibitions in Asia and in Madrid and dedicated booths at global art fairs, Leonardo has already made a name for himself in the art world since his debut in 2019. Many liken his works to that of Jean-Michel Basquiat with his seemingly scribble-like techniques and enigmatic symbols on his iconic paintings.

"In the past year, NFTs have become a new mode for expression for digital creativity – one with a traceable and verifiable ownership on the blockchain,"

said Min Jung (Nicole) Kim, Business Development & Strategy Lead for NFT art.

"With exceptional creators in the pipeline, our new NFT unit will be focused on uncovering each of its artistic value, grounded in our commitment to technology and sustainability."
