The original painting was 601.255m long and earned him several awards including a Guinness World Record for longest drawing by an individual.He then chose four hallmark images from the original painting to recreate."I kept the precious drawing in a fully air-conditioned storeroom for three years hoping one day I would be able to exhibit it and share it with friends and family," he said.
"So I created the four hallmark images, one for each season, to remind everyone to cherish the moment."While many look at NFTs as a new-age investment, Chen said he sees them as cultivating a community and culture."I went into NFTs because I would like my art to be shared in the right way and immortalised."
"Two years ago, a friend contacted me asking if I wanted to explore this form of art," Chen said."At the time I was not very interested because it didn't seem like serious art, just computer design.
