**Secret Artist #17 — Mediterranean Summer** Looking forward to a holiday is quite easy. Most people have no problems fantasising about how blissfully relaxing their break from routine will be. But like many things, the anticipation is the easy part. When the time comes to down tools and "do nothing", our minds often struggle to actualise our fantasies. What are we going to do for lunch? Is everyone around me having a good time? Am I having a good time? Should I feel guilty for having a good time? Was spending my free time in this specific way the right choice, or would I have been happier doing something else? In short, our minds sometimes behave like annoying children, trying to spoil our fun. But thankfully, there are those other moments, often lubricated by a little intoxication, stimulated through some sublime aspect or nature, or bolstered by being around people whose company you treasure. In those moments, everything else falls away. You are no longer anticipating, you are no longer at the mercy of your worrisome mind. You are in the moment. You are finally, in every sense of the word, on holiday. *** **The Secret Artists Project** The world of NFTs opens up new, creative opportunities for artists and also for the ecosystem that surrounds them. The Secret Artist Project works to curate innovative artists from inside and outside of the NFT community. We ask them for a piece of their work that has yet to be minted and add it anonymously to our collection. This puts the focus on the art and not the artist. We want people to buy the art simply because they love it. The Secret Artist Project has no Discord, no Telegram, no overambitious roadmap. However, there is one very special bonus you receive with your NFT from The Secret Artist Project, and that is... **The Artist** While their identity remains a mystery to everyone else, the artist's details will be revealed to you after purchasing the NFT — as if you've discovered their signature scrawled on the back of their painting. So now, you not only have the NFT to hang in your home or display in the Metaverse, you also have the opportunity to discover more of the artist’s work. In addition, by holding the NFT and discovering its secrets, you become part of The Secret Artist Project community. Those who hold secrets, hold power... **The Aims of the Secret Artist Project** — to positively impact the artist by putting their art first — to introduce new artists to the NFT space (though we have some well-known artists in our collection too!) — to promote art we love and collaborate with artists we trust *** If you have any questions, or if you’re an artist who would like to feature your artwork in the project, please go to The Secret Artist Project collection’s Opensea page for contact details/socials https://opensea.io/collection/the-secret-artist-project — The Merchant of Venus, Curator of The Secret Art Project
