Bio
Markus von Frieling, who works under the name xmvfx, paints with black acrylic on cheap copy paper using a tool he calls a Japan spatula, then scans the results and edits them digitally. He created his first piece using that technique in 2013. He began minting his work on the blockchain in January 2021, after discovering NFTs in late 2020.
Von Frieling has said he first heard about NFTs and art on the Ethereum blockchain through a podcast in November 2020, not long after meeting the artist Mattia Cuttini online. When Von Frieling asked whether he could really be considered a legitimate artist, Cuttini answered, “Yes, why not, who decides?” At the end of January 2021 he minted his first token on Rarible and gave it to Cuttini.
