From idea to project
What started as an artist's idea has developed into the D10 art project through a plan. In 2017, the idea arose to create three paintings, of which no one would ever see the image on the front side under any circumstances, as legally documented. It would be impossible to forcefully view these paintings. Now, six years later, the idea has been developed into a plan and has grown into a project. The number of three paintings has been adjusted, and there are now five, with the possibility of this number changing in the future. The identity of the creator or creators of the paintings has not been disclosed and may never be.
Current status
Currently, there are artworks (prototypes) available to show interested parties. We are keeping the status of the (preliminary) five base works confidential. Contact has been made with several prominent figures in the art world, and progress is being made.
As an art enthusiast, you can have the opportunity to see an artwork from the D10 art project in person. Contact us to inquire about the location and timing of a D10 art project exhibition.

Q and A
Who are the creators of the paintings?
DThis will not be disclosed for the time being, or perhaps never.
