Manila Philippines –  National Artists Federico Aguilar Alcuaz and Abdulmari Imao, as well as the presidential medal of merit awardee Juvenal Sansó through Fundacion Sanso estates, were featured on the successful exclusive NFT auction hosted by Artifract, the Philippines’ first tokenized NFT platform.

Three prized artworks were presented, the Manila Bay Sunset by Alcuaz, Sarimanok Series by Imao, and the Euphoric Abundance by Sanso at the Unionbank Building in Pasig, on February 9, 2023. 

Five premium tiles from each of these renowned artworks were up for bidding. A limited-edition framed giclee print and a sealed Certificate of Authenticity are included with every NFT tile.

“Truly heartwarming to see the amount of support from the tech and art community for our three master artists. We were able to successfully launch Artifract and completely sell all of our premium tiles during our auction. This is a testament to the direction and vision of the company” Brian Poe-Llamanzares, Artifract’s co-founder said during the event. 

Speaking on behalf of the Alcuaz estate, Mr. Jack Teotico provided a brief background on the rare Alcuaz tiles that were being auctioned, while Diego Gabriel Imao discussed the prominent artworks of his grandpa, Abdulmari. 

Edison Tsai, CEO of Artifract, was also present at the event and discussed how Artifract is redefining the way art is valued.

“Artifract is changing the way Arts are appreciated by helping art estates, museums, private collectors, and artists in the authentication, preservation, copyright, and digital distribution of their works, while allowing modern-day Art Collectors to invest in exclusive Fractional NFTs and owning a piece of culture and history,” he said.
