Loot NFT, the first online NFT Talent Show has raised an initial round, allowing talented creators to showcase their unique and unrecognized creations. It’s an invite-only platform that permits artists to sell their artworks where people from all over the world may bid on them.

The island of Mauritius, well-known for its numerous ways of life and ancient richness, also boasts many artists and creatives. However, a limitless quantity of them are underappreciated and do not receive the respect they deserve due to lack of branding tools like money, contacts and experience. This affects the whole globe, as these undervalued artists want a breakthrough moment where their talent may be recognized. Therefore, we, the creators' agent for Loot NFT, are thus here to appreciate and assist these artists in receiving the respect they deserve.

With loot NFT, artists get several benefits like international exposure, money and marketing. Also, their art lives on forever, since it is attached to the NFT on the blockchain. Moreover, they get financial incentives to kick off or improve their art business. Here with LOOT NFT, we make artists feel valued and boost up their confidence level. Last but not least, artists do not need to pay any fee to participate in LOOT NFT.

Girvanee Suraksha Hosanee, 23, from Roches Brunes, Mauritius, pursued art throughout her infancy and tertiary education, especially in digital art, which has been her speciality throughout the years, with the assistance of her family and instructors. The young artist's work was estimated to be worth around MUR 31,100. Girvanee's tale is as follows:

“Initially, I was very curious about “crypto art,” which made me tempted to try it out. This is a new and exciting experience and I am thrilled that my work was selected and sold!

I feel blessed as Loot NFT has provided a platform where my work will be
recognised worldwide, and integrates me with many other international artists. [Because] it is an online auction, it allows everyone to view my
artwork, which is amazing.

I believe that the platform has given artists a new possibility to enhance their
creativity and value in the marketplace. Many Mauritians undervalue art. It's sad that some people think art [should] be free of charge. They undermine the effort we put into our creations. Loot NFT has respected the Mauritian artist and given us a chance to express ourselves on an international platform.”

Girvanee’s piece above is titled “The Magic Of Vitalik”

NFT is opening doors for many artists, both digital and conventional. They now have a forum to demonstrate their ability while also earning money. They have access to larger marketplaces, where others may fall in love with their creations as well.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the artist to get recognition and appreciation for their work. Mauritian artists from various socioeconomic levels may now compete in an equal playing arena to evolve and achieve the same objective.

Rachel Caprice, 26, is a Mauritius resident who lives in Beau Bassin. Since elementary school, she has had a fascination for painting. She sees art as another level to communicate and utilizes it to promote awareness. Rachel’s sold artwork is worth nearly MUR 27,000 on the platform. Rachel's testimony is as follows:

“The concept of Loot NFT was new, exciting, and very interesting. I was thrilled to be able to see my work on an international platform joining international artists.

I was expecting more recognition of my work, internationally and of course that my work got sold!

I think that Loot NFT has the power to boost an artist's career. It allows us artists to showcase our talents and creativity through our paintings or even digital art for some.

Most importantly, it allows us to get connected with the artistic and collectors world. This means you cross the borders, through the internet while you're staying at home and expose your work and there's 100% certainty that your work gets noticed internationally. An artist can even attach a link to their work so that people can know more about the artist and what they do.

I would say Loot NFT's interest in Mauritius is huge. In Mauritius, art and culture are often taken for granted. By collaborating with Loot NFT, artists have a higher chance of recognition. I'm very grateful for the opportunity that Loot NFT has provided for us. As artists, we struggle to sell our artwork, and, sadly, Mauritians generally underestimate the value of art. Nonetheless, we can't back down. It's our passion and we can't let it die. We continue to fight for it despite the difficult times.

The process of listing your work is relatively easy. Everything is done online, which is very helpful and accessible during this pandemic.

And it's based on auctions. So, you know that your work is going to sell. You don't know how much but you know it will. So you just hope for the best.”

Kenza Fakira, an inspiring Mauritian who relocated to Cape Town, South Africa to pursue her goal of being a 3D artist. Two of her works were sold on Loot NFT for somewhat more than MUR58,000. Kenza was particularly impressed that Mauritian artists now had a platform to showcase their work. Here is what Kenza had to say about it:

“To be honest, I did not know what to expect at first. The reason for my initial hesitancy lies in the fact that Mauritius does not value art as much as it should. This issue is rooted in the stigma that exists around art (be it traditional or digital) as a career choice. However, after meeting with the Loot NFT team I was happy to find out that they are determined to challenge the status quo and make some waves in the stagnant waters of Mauritius’s art scene.

As an artist, Loot NFT allows you to be seen not only locally but internationally; with the rise of cryptocurrencies and NFTs, Loot NFT comes into the scene at the best time possible. I am hoping that they will help in changing the way artists are seen and how their skills are valued. On top of making revenue from auctioning your art, you are given a visibility boost, thus paving the way for new opportunities. Additionally, there is a sense of community among artists on the platform. You get to see what other artists are up to and where they lie in terms of skill, talent, and innovation. It is a great motivator to keep improving your skills as an artist.
I think Loot NFT is going to challenge some preconceptions surrounding art as a career choice by making it way more accessible and lucrative. We have some very talented and creative minds on this beautiful island of ours and they, unfortunately, either have to leave the country to get the recognition they deserve or they choose a different path altogether. Loot NFT brings a fresh outlook on things and more options to aspiring artists.”

Shubam Hanuman, a creator at LOOT NFT who already sold 2 of his unique artworks, will be sharing his experience with us! His third artwork was just sold for 94257 BUNS (USDC 10,368.27), a new milestone on the LOOT NFT platform.

Shubham’s story--
“Growing up, I channeled almost everything in my life into my artwork, meaning I create with emotion. Despite achieving many victories in this field, I always contemplated how I would make a lasting impact, especially being in a country that doesn't value people in my field.”

When I found out that three of my pieces were going to be published on Loot NFT for their first-ever auctions, I knew that this concept was radical, but being an optimistic person, I anticipated positive results from the beginning. Just the way the platform functions to benefit everyone involved sparked my desire to produce remarkable pieces.

Selling three pieces on Loot NFT has developed me as an artist in such a short space of time. Everything happens so fast it's almost surreal. I never imagined being able to monetize my art, or having people appreciate it so much. The experience has boosted my confidence.

I strongly feel that Loot NFT will disrupt the Mauritian art scene. Not only artists but creators from all walks of life will finally be seen, earn money from their work, and be able to value work that was initially overlooked. It is great to know that there is now a safe space for creators to come together and just create! All they have to do is believe in their talent and never stop working towards something positive, even if some people would say otherwise. It is an experience of discovery and growth for our beautiful island”.
