Understanding Our Pricing

Dani Phillip’s work is conceived, produced, and circulated beyond fixed borders—geographic, economic, or conceptual. Pricing reflects this same philosophy: clear, principled, and intentionally detached from short‑term market volatility.

 

Rather than anchoring value to a single national currency, the work is primarily denominated in Bitcoin. This decision, first made years ago out of necessity, has since become a coherent extension of the practice itself: portable, sovereign, and global.

 

Why Bitcoin

 

Phillip’s life as a nomadic artist—moving between the Mediterranean, major European capitals, and global cultural centers—made traditional pricing impractical. Working light, often with a limited number of small canvases and a restrained palette, the studio was wherever time allowed: a coastal room, a temporary apartment, a few days between cities.

 

Collectors encountered the work in similarly fluid contexts: Monaco, the French Riviera, Milan, Paris, Athens, Tokyo, London, Singapore. Many were international travelers themselves. Bitcoin offered a universal medium—borderless, efficient, and independent of local banking systems—well suited to high‑value transactions across jurisdictions.

 

Over time, what began as a practical solution evolved into a philosophical alignment. Just as Phillip’s paintings explore permanence, memory, reduction, and depth beneath surface appearances, Bitcoin represents a non‑territorial store of value defined by scarcity rather than decree.

 

Scale, Presence, and Value

 

Works are priced according to scale, material permanence, and their position within the larger body of work—particularly the long‑form Mediterranean continuum that includes Mediterranean Stories, Blue Silence, and Salt Memory.

 

Rather than fluctuating with daily exchange rates, prices are set in Bitcoin units. Fiat equivalents (USD / EUR) are indicative only, provided for reference.

 

Final pricing may vary based on series, rarity, and placement within a curated release.

 

Gallery & Institutional Placement

 

Works placed through galleries are priced in consultation with curators and directors, taking into account local market conditions, institutional context, and comparable works within that region. This ensures coherence between private acquisitions and public‑facing presentations.

 

Choosing the Right Scale

 

Collectors uncertain about scale often gravitate toward medium works, which retain intimacy while offering strong spatial presence. Larger works are recommended for architectural settings, collections with curatorial intent, or institutional environments.
