In celebration of Earth Day 2022, the Biosapiens NFT collection is 22 individual nude figures digitally unified with complex textures from nature. Creator Ryan Nellis uses light and lens to abstract the human body into unique sculptural forms. The human species is seen as a biological phenomenon – rarely identical, continually evolving. These images connect our complex internal landscapes with the abundant surfaces of the planet. The intent is to see nature as not outside of us, but as an integral part of us.
Ryan has non-segmental Vitiligo, a disorder that causes the loss of pigmentation in patches of skin. Portraits of Ryan under ultraviolet light enhance these spots, which he says speak a hidden language across his body. These skin glyphs help inform his identity as an artist and have inspired the birth of Biosapiens.
Taking action on reforestation, at around $1 per tree, 10% of all sales of the Biosapien NFTs will be donated to OneTreePlanted.org. Join Ryan in a partnership for the planet and elevate your NFT collection with your own 1/1 Biosapien.
