AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Asset rich. Cash poor. The market dips and suddenly you NEED MONEY FOR CRYPTO. A unique 90 × 90 cm hand-painted dot work by Dimitri Likissas.

"Need Money for Crypto" turns that very contemporary frustration into a painting — the absurd moment when the thing you own prevents you from buying more of the thing you want to own.

The words NEED MONEY FOR CRYPTO are constructed entirely from hand-painted dots. From close range, the individual dots dominate the surface; from a distance, they merge optically and the message becomes immediate.

The work belongs to Belgian-Greek contemporary artist Dimitri Likissas’s established dot-based practice, in which recognizable images and language emerge from repeated circular forms. His work plays with perception, Pop culture, contemporary symbols and the visual language of modern life.

The irony of the work is deliberately simple: the crypto investor may be wealthy on paper yet suddenly discover that wealth and liquidity are not the same thing.

Title: Need Money for Crypto
Artist: Dimitri Likissas
Nationality: Belgian-Greek
Year: 2026
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Dimensions: 90 × 90 cm
Edition: Unique original artwork
Technique: Hand-painted monochrome dot painting
Condition: New / excellent condition
Certificate: Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist
Framing: Unframed
Shipping: To keep shipping costs at a minimum, the canvas will be carefully rolled and shipped in a strong protective cardboard tube.

Dimitri Likissas has developed his distinctive dot-based visual language over many years across painting, printmaking and sculpture. His work has been presented internationally through galleries and exhibitions in Europe, the United States and the Caribbean.

His practice explores the point at which an image changes depending on viewing distance: from close, only dots; from afar, the image.

This work has been created as part of a dedicated series for Catawiki, using the artist’s established visual language in a direct monochrome format. Likissas’s larger and more complex works are normally presented through galleries at substantially higher price levels; this Catawiki series is intended to make original works from his practice accessible to a broader group of collectors without changing the underlying technique or artistic identity.

Need Money for Crypto is a unique painting — not a print, reproduction or edition.

The artwork will be shipped unstretched and rolled in a protective tube, directly from the artist’s studio, together with a signed Certificate of Authenticity.

Returns: excluded. As these are unique originals, i.e., one-off paintings, these works are treated as commissioned pieces. Therefore, the right of return is void
