The UAEs Golden Visa Holder, Idriss B, French Tunisian Artist, and sculptor, known for his eccentric style and polygonal animal-shaped structures, enter the Metaverse space to complement his current portfolio selling a collection of 11,000 NFTs – known as the Polyverse Art.
As per the reports, Whilst Idriss B might be jumping on the NFT bandwagon, the Polyverse Art is no ordinary NFTs. Not only are they designed by a real-life artist, but each NFT comes with a real (fungible) piece of art, and being an owner of one of the NFTs will automatically enter you into an exclusive giveaway to become an astronaut and win a ticket into space.
The unique art piece for the first time ever in history will be available on the platform on December 10th. The artist is bringing the Metaverse to life by sharing his passion, exploration, and dedication to his craft.

He stated: “It is time to start an epic NFT journey into the next chapter of art and it is down to real artists to lead the change.

As part of its efforts to support these disruptive technologies and enhance the UAE’s position as a leader in innovation, Dubai Future Foundation formed the Global Blockchain Council to explore and support transactions on the platform.
Idriss B. is evolving with his hometown, Dubai, into a historical next phase of his career but he’s not planning on quitting his ‘day job’ anytime soon. Next year Idriss B will host a public art exhibition on Park Avenue in New York, as well as collaborations with a luxury jewelry brand, a top airline, and a very special project with Nusr-Et aka Saltbae.
An NFT (Non-Fungible Token) is, by definition, a digital asset that links ownership to unique physical or digital items such as art, music, real estate, or videos. Although they have been around since 2014, NFTs have exploded this year and are becoming increasingly popular and lucrative in the art world. Essentially, NFTs are an investment like fine art, only digital.
