Chris: “The Kiss” is an interesting choice – why this painting? Tell us how this project came about…

Chris: The Kiss is one of the most famous paintings in Europe, but some people may not know this… So it brings me to this question – what are the typical characteristics of a person that would fit perfectly in The Kiss community? Who are you looking to attract?

arteQ team: “The Kiss” NFT Drop is for everyone really, we are trying to attract the already existing NFT community but also making it more accessible to classical museum visitors and people that enjoy historical art. 

Chris: Tell us about the Belvedere Museum… What makes dedicating a piece on this wall to a loved one special? Are there any restrictions on the message that can be sent to a loved one?  

arteQ team: The dedication can be a romantic gesture of love, a dedication to someone special or simply to have your own name eternalised on the NFT. Gifting someone a dedicated NFT, of such a romantic masterpiece like “The Kiss”, seemed to us like the perfect way of bringing the world of NFT closer to everyone. 

Chris: What are the long term plans for this community?
