Mrs Michelle Obama Celestial Change
"A great evening and a very impressive show.The photos are beautiful and really reveal the people who are the Obama's.Made me very nostalgic".-Ilene Graff(Mr Belvedere)"
What an incredible woman former First Lady Mrs Michelle Obama is. I spent 2015-2017 almost daily at the White House photographing the Obama's in the East and West Wing and beyond. I remain in awe of Michelle Obama and it was an honor to photograph her .
It is truly joy to bring you this wonderful piece I made in collaboration with Klarens Malluta. I am very thankful for the opportunity we all had to collaborate . This 1/1 piece comes with unlockable content - the full 1.43 length piece with the full original and incredible song by my additional collaborator x.o.anne. The full song which will be emailed to the winning bidder. Of course you also receive a JPEG to print out for your collection . (not to be used for commercial purposes, other than display, like all collectable art)
I toured my exhibit Celebrate Hope the Obama Collection in multiple galleries until the pandemic struck and galleries closed for close to one and half years March 2020- June 2021.
One of the subtexts in much. of my work has been racism and our own shared humanity . Racism and systemic racism is not only repugnant and makes me angry but it so unnecessary.When I first went to the White House the racism through cyber bullying ,levied against the Obama's was truly appalling. I hoped to make a difference ,change the narrative just a little. Even from a practical level look how much time and energy being wasted by these people who are racist .
To date my work is collected on both American coasts. Along with my collaborators Klarens and x.o.anne I have created a sumptuous unique 1/1 edition piece - embracing and creating a journey through history and pop culture and the world today comprised of multiple mediums bound and threaded by the transformative age of digital art. A percentage will be donated to charity and I have chosen the Opportunity Girl's Alliance founded by Mrs Obama for the first piece. I chose this charity as I believe in empowering young women world wide, through education and business.I have also witnessed first hand Mrs Obama's work . I have been a strong advocate for women, and also and fighting s-e-x-i-s-m at every turn .Together let's all make a difference. Purchasing this piece will help make the world a better place and bring hope to many girls.
ABOUT
Anna Wilding – award winning filmmaker, credentialed independent exhibiting White House Photographer and Correspondent. These are the first authentic NFT’s of President Barack Obama, President Joe Biden and former First Lady Michele Obama. This is also the first ever NFT of a seated President.
Ms Wilding’s solo photography exhibit Celebrate Hope the Obama Collection were attended by thousands and bought visitors behind the walls into the White House. "the People's House ". Anna’s photographs have been published in magazines and newspapers worldwide and have gone viral . Anna’s stunning and exquisite photos of Mrs Obama even appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel Live TV show.
Ms Wilding’s images capture the dignity and humanity of the Obama Presidency and bring the viewer inside the walls of White House with vibrant intimacy in a way that no other photographer has mastered. Shooting much of her Obama work in a different style to news photographers, Ms Wilding bought her lengthy film music video and fine art experience ot each photograph she took . Anna’s work combines classical elements and pop culture.
Ms Wilding's has been cited as “iconic” for both her work on screen and behind the lens as a director, photographer, writer, producer and actress/comedian in music videos, feature films, television and photography. Anna is currently working on a digital art and photographic exhibit coming up in Los Angeles and working on film and other projects close to her heart.
Anna had been watching Klarens work for a while. Klarens is a stunning Albanian Digital Artist who has also been one of the early artists in the NFT space . "I get inspired from color palettes, 80s style, shape of things and clouds. it was very special for me to work on these Obama and Biden pieces with Anna. She made my work better" Klarens is putting out work often in the digital space and has a collaborative digital art exhibit coming up in Dallas.
One of the Anna's favorite moments at the White House was photographing Andra Day performing "Rise Up". Based on Anna's knowledge of Mrs. Michelle Obama Anna sought a powerhouse vocal for the Mrs Obama pieces , and with Andra out of reach at a couple of weeks notice , Anna through a friend in NYC, lucked out on working with LA and London based American vocalist x.o Anne. Anne Tello recently charted in the top 20 in UK pop charts and is currently working on more singles and albums.
Anna says,“ Stylistically, my work since an early age has involved specific and and pointed use of color and strong black and white images. I grew up printing my own black and white work in darkrooms by hand so I have a good understanding of the nature of black and white photography. I love color, and my music videos and films use that strongly too. I have loved working with Klarens as he loves color and knows how to use it as well. I see NFT’s, if handled right, as an ability to evolve an artists work beyond the original scope. That is what excites me anyway. I actually helped pioneer some pretty interesting music videos editing techniques through my use of black and white and color. I love pushing the boundaries of tech creatively. That’s why I loved doing some pioneering work with virtual reality – two decades ago before we know it as Occulus now. I really hope people embrace this beautiful rare piece..it has taken over 20 years of knowledge and wisdom in tech, arts, sciences and film and photography to craft it. More to come I hope.
Anna’s photographs express the hope and dignity we all care for in the highest Office of the land. Known for her unique take, and exquisite framing ,composition and use of light, Wilding’s photographs are often compared to the work of great painters. Acclaimed and ward winning cinematographer and art collector Woody Omens, A.S.C said of Anna's work “I call it “Obama classicism” after the great masters, Raphael and Leonardo Da Vinci.”
