The Shakira NFTs are being sold via auction at MakersPlace, and fans can head to their site to own any of the blockchain-based items. What’s more, the buyers of limited edition NFTs will be eligible to enter a raffle to win a purchased proof of the NFTs that will be personally signed by Shakira. This is a one-of-a-kind asset that any fan would be happy to have.
“La Caldera collection, a digital art collaboration by Shakira and BossLogic, depicts the fantastical world of Caloris, a place ruled by women in an intergalactic landscape as they grapple with the arrival of both friendly and unfriendly visitors,” MakersPlace posted on its website.
MakersPlace described the new Shakira NFTs as art directed by both the artist and BosslLogic in a retro-futuristic style. The digital art images give the feel and look of vintage posters and graphic novels.
