This is an auction that wants to turn art into food.
People who are in Nassau affected by a disaster, can feed themselves through an NFT bought by other people who are in Boston? The answer is yes. They can!
World Central Kitchen for Mikel, is a small miracle that shows what is possible to do with a good will, work and perseverance. WCK is not a mainstream foundation, it is an organization in effective and constant action. That sets them apart from many other good people: WCK manages to get quickly to any place in the world immersed in a tragedy. Therefore, people feel their agility and humanity, and that, that same morning, that afternoon or in the early morning, they will be able to eat hot meal.
José Andrés, for Mikel Urmeneta, is between a great chef, a great businessman and an astonishing angel; a unique person who has found in his profession the formula to help the most vulnerable on the planet. Every time a disaster hits anywhere in the world, there it is José Andrés helping.
For Urmeneta, José Andrés lives and helps to live. He is smart, tireless and generous. He is basically a good person.
Mikel Urmeneta for himself, is an artist in continuous evolution who was distracted in the world of creative enterprise. He knows he’s a well-known and imaginative person. Founder of Kukuxumusu, he built a vast and recognizable illustrative cosmos for more than 30 years. He has no doubt that the cryptoart has given him a brilliant opportunity to continue creating. He is a friend of José Andrés and, therefore, he also believes to be a good person himself.
Masky! is a character born during the pandemic. It was commissioned by José Andrés to Mikel Urmeneta. He was intended to be a character close to the people, positive in the face of adversity, compliant with all the preventive measures against the Covid, with solidarity initiative, with a voluntary mentality… a human character. Mikel, with his simple stroke, portrayed really a young José Andrés.
