<p>Mr Richi, The Holder, 2021</p>
<p>The Holder is an artwork of many firsts for me. It was my genesis 1/1 on <a href="https://twitter.com/AsyncArt" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Async Art</a>- the first curated platform that onboarded me. It was the first dynamic art piece that I made, and it created a long-term connection with an amazing innovator who collected it and was the first to show faith in my art, <a href="https://twitter.com/conlan" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Conlan Rios</a>.</p>
<p>When it was collected, it was the precise moment that I knew there was no turning back and escaping the rabbit hole that crypto art is. The whole story that lead to minting it was peculiar. I got an anonymous email asking me if I wanted to mint the piece and to let them know if I do and that was what triggered me to do research and find the universe of tokenized jpegs and magic internet money.</p>
<p><em>The Holder</em> is essentially a mix of some of the core influences you can see in my art — a peculiar fusion of pop art, graffiti and crypto themes. It’s an ode to passion and dreams of revolution and using the technology for changing the world or at least the art world. Up to this day, my faith in this space and persistence have not changed, they have only become stronger.</p>
