DEREK HESS
ENTERS THE NFT MARKET
WITH HIS FIRST PIECE TO HELP UKRAINE
Renowned artist and activist DEREK HESS has unveiled a stunning new artwork titled "Kyiv - Castle Keep" that was created to benefit Ukraine. The piece will be made available as a limited edition print, accompanying apparel and an NFT, which marks HESS' first offering in the meta-universe.
"Kyiv - Castle Keep" is a striking image that portrays a person crouched holding the Ukrainian flag, illustrating the heartbreaking struggle and the unwavering bravery of the Ukrainian people during the current wartime atrocities.
Proceeds from the sales of the artwork will be divided up between IFAW, UNICEF, WORLD CENTRAL KITCHEN and UKRAINE
Commenting on the new work, HESS states:
"This piece is about the resilience of the people of Ukraine in the face of tremendously lopsided odds. The term “castle’s keep” means a stronghold from where a last stand can be mounted against a siege. My prayers are with the people of Ukraine, and for a successful resistance against Putin’s war."
