teXnail (technical snail) is a unique collection celebrating the beauty and the gain of value that can emerge from raw welding power, human creativity, scrap metal parts and post-soviet objects.
This special collection shows a sculpture of a family of mechanical snails in Telavi. Kakheti region in Georgia – beside the foot of Caucasus.
Hand crafted art always intends to tell a story (sometimes wandering and confused in its own, but always full of the unexpected). Turning scrap metal into a valuable piece of art is a highly unique process and rewards the art lover as well as the artist with unforeseen inspiration and emotion. It´s a tribute to humans creativity.
Taken to the digital world of NFT this unique collection of art won´t be hold back by national borders and will inspire generations of art lovers.
Digital liquid is spilled upon this hand-crafted metal art and takes it in directions that are unexpected, uncontrolled, and tells this amazing story from a whole new point of few.
DARK Edition has a different, more brutal look focused on „post Soviet“ objects and is minted on a different Blockchain.

HANDCRAFTS are of great artistic importance. The artist can life his creativity without any borders, can use different materials and shape, change or simply create whole new things.

It is amazing how many small details are incorporated into the structure and how many individual parts, each one unique in itself, form a big sculpture as a masterpiece.
