Merging traditional fine art oil-on-canvas with digital permanence.
A global fine-art initiative representing all 16,777,217 unique colors of the 24-bit RGB spectrum. Each color is permanently paired with a 1/1 original physical painting.
"To create digital art and physical art together and merge the traditional arts with the blockchain. Bridge the gap between the digital wallet and the wall and at the same time help eliminate carbon emissions, help the coral reefs and plant trees."
Robert Jennings (aka eArtist) partners with global green initiatives to offset emissions and restore vital ecosystems. Every registered color supports environmental projects through direct contributions to C2Zero, OneTreePlanted, and Beyond Coral Foundation.
"Following on the vein of Seurat, 'De Stijl', Malevich, Mondrian and Albers (some others of course) I am unearthing the raw pixel and taking it solely for what it is."
"I am immortalizing each pixel in the realm of digital art and in the plastic arts by birthing it on the blockchain. Each pixel will exist in its own right with its own name."
"There are no editions. There is only one of each. 1/1."
Exactly 16,777,217 unique colors defined by the standard RGB color model, each representing a distinct value of the spectrum.
Every color is linked with an original 24″ × 24″ physical oil painting. Hand-signed and textured by Jennings, ensuring authentic physical provenance.
Each physical artwork features a verified certificate of authenticity, establishing an unbreakable chain of custody.

A first-class graduate of the Michaelis School of Fine Art at the University of Cape Town, Robert Jennings introduced computer graphics and digital photography to the academy, becoming UCT's first digital art and design tutor in 1992.
After exploring digital art and design in Amsterdam during the early 90s, Jennings established a digital design studio in the British Virgin Islands in 1994, officially branding his practice as eArtist in 1997. His works have been showcased in globally recognized exhibitions, galleries, and museums across Africa, Europe, the Caribbean, the Americas, and Asia.
His pioneering digital exhibitions began with the Klaus Steinmetz gallery in 2001, debuting digital-physical works in San Jose, Costa Rica and later at Art Basel Miami. The PIXEL Project marks the culmination of a 30-year journey defining the aesthetics of the digital screen on physical canvas.
