As more brands join the NFT movement, we see the importance of technology emerging into the event space with different experiences.

Having worked all her life with different mediums and disciplines, Adelia Clavien embraces the polymath tradition. From abstract representation to the corporeal beauty of human figures, Clavien’s work encompasses a wide breath of styles.
While currently being based in Switzerland, the artist, was born in Portugal but has been living in Switzerland since 1981 where she lived in Valais and St Gall, exploring both paintings with different mediums such acrylic, charcoal, and epoxy, while later starting a career in photography. Self-educated, Adelia Clavien speaks mutiple languages, plays several music instruments, is adaptive to new technology, and is a naturally open person. Her works have seen the spotlight in Dubai, Lisbon, São Paulo, Amsterdam, Venice and all over Switzerland. Such a series that has gained prominence is that coming from her inspiration from film actresses such as Gina Lollobrigida, Marilyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot, Audrey Hepburn, among others. Working with a series of different mediums, Clavien diffuses these materials, creating layers of overlapping mediums to enhance a different perspective on these women, both from a conceptual and technical perspective. The artist has also done a series of male representations as well, including stars like Freddie Mercury, Bob Marley, Sean Connery, Jim Morrison, among others. The artist has in recent years been dedicating more time to promoting her works as well as exploring her interest in abstraction and pop art featuring the iconic men and women which inspire her.

Saphira & Ventura Present a Look at the Future of Art in Public Spaces as Part of Interior and Sources Curated Space at NeoCon.
Saphira & Ventura is recognized as a source and leading authority on the interface between design and digital manifestations of art. The NFT lounge in the Interior and Sources 3,000 square foot showroom at NeoCon is certain to be a highlight for attendees. Thousands of architects and interior designers will descend on the three-day event in Chicago from June 13 – 15.
“We are focused on the strengths and opportunities for change that NFTs (nonfungible tokens) represent,” says Alcinda Saphira, president of the forward-thinking metaverse company and its bricks and mortar art gallery, located in midtown Manhattan. “This is truly one of the most exciting times in the history of art. We are very happy to work with I&S.”
Louis Ventura, the company’s CEO adds, “This is the biggest transformation in visual storytelling since the first cave paintings, or since pigments were mixed oils. Art may be the last element selected when designing public spaces. But, often, it’s the takeaway. It’s what people remember when they get home.”
The curator of Trend Futures, the I&S showroom at NeoCon, Stacy Garcia chose Saphira and Ventura to anchor the NFT lounge. A conversation with the two principals of the namesake company makes it clear why they are the go-to choice to help architects and designers realize the immense and inevitable change and potential that NFTs represent.

Most current attention is focused on NFTs as part of the blockchain casino that began with Bitcoin and other virtual monetary tokens. NFT movements like Bored Ape Yacht Club or CryptoPunks are driven by youthful enthusiasm more than aesthetics. Cartoon-y vignettes may have opened a virtual door to 19-year-olds who fancy themselves as artists; but the creations are suitable as gifs and memes or to hang on the walls of virtual houses in the metaverse. They have little, if anything, to do with fine art.
“The real potential of NFTs for art is only beginning to be explored,” says Louis Ventura. “Nonfungible tokens are coded digits stored on the blockchain. Basically, that means they cannot be changed. Artworks can be tracked and traced and forgery – such as we see with a lot of high-end contemporary two-dimensional paintings – is being eliminated. However, what can and will change is the way in which NFT artworks are presented. Immersive art experiences and holographic displays are part of this trend. We may wonder what Van Gogh would have thought about crowds of people being able to walk through his art. But the real question is what are the possibilities when truly talented fine artists are also digital natives? That’s what Saphira & Ventura is dedicated to exploring with our amazing roster of contemporary artists.”
Alcinda Saphira adds, “We are where technology meets beauty in public and commercial spaces. That’s what we will help designers to understand when they visit us in the NFT lounge in the I&S showroom. We recognize our responsibility to present NeoCon attendees with art and opportunities to lead the way in this exciting present and into an amazing future.”

From their strong commitment to art to an ongoing journey to around the world, Ostap and Roksolana Patyk have worked on various paintings and design in their long and committed career. Originally from Ukraine, they explore a variety of themes ranging from landscape to still life.
These works will be curated by Alcinda Saphira and presented at Saphira & Ventura Gallery and will have its opening on June 01 on 4 W 43rd st. #416 New York, NY. New York, NY and will terminate on June 12, 2022.
The works of Ostap and Roksolana Patyk delve into a recapturing the traditional technique and aesthetic of figurative academicism. Influenced by Roman Selskyi but also by their engaging travels throughout many nations. The two artists hail from the city of Lviv in west Ukraine (former Lemberg) where they studied at the Lviv National Academy of Arts. Ostap Patyk creates his work in formalistic compositions based on national character and traditions, whether in the form of portraits, still lifes, landscapes, among others. The artist began his career under his father, Volodymyr Patyk, an iconic painter in Ukraine’s history of modern art.
Growing up in an artistic home and in the vibrant city of Lviv motivated Ostap to continue his father’s trade and the artist continued furnishing paintings in his own style. Roksolana Patyk, has dedicated her career to working with graphics. She has exhibited her work in Ukrainian and international exhibitions. They include a diverse appreciation of aesthetic influences ranging from modernism, art deco, to an Easter Egg ornamentalism. Weaving these elements together, the artist blends the folk traditions of Ukraine’s national model as well as a creative experimentation on her part. She has taken part in symposiums, conferences, and seminars, where she has played a role in furthering interest in such graphic works and design.
