Elementum
Elementum is the home of exceptional art. We empower artists and art enthusiasts to buy, trade and exhibit art online. Our curators select established and emerging artists from all over the world for our platform.
Your art collection
With Elementum you can start your personal art collection today. Simply browse the artworks, find the piece you love and buy it with a click. All you need is a credit card or or a crypto wallet with ethereum. You have access to your collection from anywhere with any connected device.
Blockchain technology - #NFT
Blockchain technology enables you to make transfers simple and secure and to keep track of your artwork. Provenance, ownership and each transaction are registered on the blockchain. For each edition, we create a unique NFT (non-fungible token) which represents your certificate of authenticity. You can easily transfer your NFT in your wallet or offer it as a gift. Just ad the wallet adress, where you like to transfer the artwork.
The Platform
There is no art without our artists. Elementum is the preferred platform for digital artists because there is no easier way to bring artwork directly into living rooms, lobbies, and restaurants. .
Artists
The Elementum family consists of artists worldwide who engage in digital art of all kinds. We currently work with 50 artists with unique artworks. We are happy to welcome new artists into our family. Send us a note on mailto:[email protected]
Art Enthusiast
Enrich your live with unique art that belongs to you. Display your personal collection at home, in your office, in your vacation home or any of your mobile devices.
Art Collector
A collection has no value if you can't resell it. By withdrawing your token (NFT) into your private crypto wallet you can resell your artpiece on the secondary market (e.g. OpenSea).
Business Owners
Elementum brings lobbies or hotel rooms to life with visionary digital art. Business owners can stream their art portfolios, as well as messages, to guests though our business signage solution.
The Ecosystem
We built the platform with blockchain technology to ensure a safe and decentralised marketplace for creators and lovers of art. It is built on three main pillars.
Art Database
High resolution pieces of art are stored in a fast and secure cloud infrastructure ready anytime for you to browse, select and display your personal investment in art.
Art Registry
Artwork, edition and all your transactions are registered on the blockchain in Form of a NFT (Non-Fungible Token). This allows you to prove ownership and provenance of the digital artworks in your elementum collection.
Marketplace
With Elementum we have built one of the most user-friendly platforms. Payment is possible both by credit card and cryptocurrency. Prices are quoted in US dollar and converted to the current value in ETH at the time of purchase. Upon payment, our smartcontract converts the cryptocurrency received directly back into a digital form of the U.S. dollar and automatically transfers the corresponding amount to the artists.
Our Curators
Our Curators make the difference. They make the Elementum collection the outstanding assembly of artworks by proposing artists who are contributing to the platform. Together they make it a unique experience for artlovers and collectors. We are currently expanding our network and are looking forward to working with curators worldwide. Please feel free to contact us if you are a curator yourself.
