About Pedro Sandoval:

Pedro José Sandoval (Ciudad Bolívar, July 12, 1964) 1 is a Spanish-Venezuelan artist based in Madrid, Spain. Several times winner of international awards and having mingled with most of the major contemporary artists in Europe, he has been dabbling with NFTs since the mid-90s.  His belief is that art must tell a story and the artist must live that story to express it convincingly.  Each of his NFT interpretations are drawn from his personal perception of museum masterpieces or his vision of current affairs and society today.

To commemorate his membership of Luminaries21, he wanted to honor the other 1090 members in a retrospective showing their dedication to the good of our planet and humanity by creating a series of “NFTs for Good.”  For more information, visit www.pedrosandoval.com.

Pedro is currently participating in ARCO, Spain’s major annual art fair and one of the first to reopen to the public after the pandemic. He prepared an exclusive series of wrist watches digital designs which were onboarded especially for the opening of the event. Two of them sold on opening day for EURO 6,000.- The Mona Lisa series is also available on the WISe.ART platform linked to the physical work located in the artist studio in Madrid. Collectors can acquire the NFT on the platform and opt to ship the physical pieces anywhere in the world.
