The "digital counterpart" of a physical painting by the Berlin based artist Sebastian BIENIEK (B1EN1EK).
The physical painting was painted (oil on canvas) in 2013/2014 and is part of the ongoing "Two-Faced" series of real physical paintings.
The concept of all BIENIEK NFTs is to use the blockchain as the best possible tool "for a provenience" of real physical artwork.

Bieniek’s exploration of duality extends beyond personal identity; it also serves as commentary on broader cultural issues. He critiques societal norms and expectations surrounding success, fame, and authenticity in both art and life. By presenting dualities—such as beauty versus grotesqueness or truth versus deception—he invites viewers to reflect on their own beliefs and biases.
His work resonates with contemporary audiences who navigate complex identities influenced by social media and cultural narratives. He challenges viewers to confront with their own selfhood.
