For his Cryptograph, Karan decided to first create a physical piece of art, which he then digitized, before destroying it in a live video, in order to fully transcend his work of art into the digital realm. Karan’s mesmerizing painting is now a fully digital and timeless piece of art that cannot be forged and will exist forever.

Karan Wahi’s Cryptograph, titled New Born Mother, is an abstract painting made in honor of his mother. He uses a wide range of vibrant colours and swirling effects in his piece that are meant to symbolise the deep emotions and themes relating to the unique connection that exists between mothers and their newborns. 

Speaking about his Cryptograph, Karan said: “I named it New Born Mother because every time a newborn comes to life, it brings new life to their Mother. This digital canvas of colour depicts new beginnings,  birth and motherhood. The myriad of colours I use represents the multitude of emotions that a new mother has, from the sensitive blues to the protective reds through to the bright yellows and more. To me my mother represents life itself and to depict that in an art piece has been very special for me. I made this piece at a turning point in my life and hence it forever holds a piece of my heart.”

Cryptographs are one-of-a-kind digital creations made by world renowned icons and artists that support their creators and a charitable cause close to their heart, forever. Each Cryptograph is sold at auction and then traded by collectors on the platform’s secondary market, raising money for charity every time they are re-sold. The creators on the platform also have the opportunity to take a perpetual revenue share from their Cryptograph, giving them an entirely new way to monetize their talent and creativity and allowing them to truly realize the intrinsic value of their work over the long term, whilst at the same time delivering huge philanthropic impact.

Cryptograph uses smart contract technology on the Ethereumblockchain to process and automate all transactions in a secure and transparent environment. This technology allows Cryptograph to make sure that their charity and creator partners will get a share of the revenue not just from the initial auction sale, but also from every single bid and subsequent sale that occurs on the secondary market. This powerful model ensures that the interests of all the parties involved in the Cryptograph ecosystem remain forever aligned and that they are continually incentivized to deliver further value over the long term to the community of Cryptograph collectors.

Cryptograph is a market leader in blockchain based digital collectibles, also known as NFT’s (Non-Fungible Tokens), featuring digital art and memorabilia from many world renowned artists and icons.  With the support of top Crypto leaders and notables like Karan Wahi helping to bridge the gap between the worlds of tech and entertainment, the Cryptograph platform is now bringing this new and vibrant world of NFTs more into the mainstream

Today, digital content is built on selling either attention (Youtube, Instagram), or access (Netflix, Pay Per View, Patreon). Thanks to blockchain technology, we can now turn digital content into a collectible and tradable asset. For the first time, a string of 0s and 1s can now be immutably owned, shared and traded. We are witnessing the beginnings of a new content model for the internet, not purely based on likes and views but also on value and ownership. As we increasingly live, meet and interact digitally, collectors have been looking for new ways to showcase and express themselves in the digital world.

As virtual currencies continue to increase in value and credibility, more and more people are beginning to take a serious look at the disruptive potential of blockchain technology. Beyond using blockchain for cryptocurrencies, companies like Cryptograph are paving the way for a new digital ownership revolution that will lead to further mainstream adoption of blockchain.
