The Present by Chema Méndez

100-piece daily digital collage series on Verse, released in chapters of 5 artworks

Tier A · StrongGalleryPortfolioProfileverse.works

A completed 100-artwork generative-art series by Spanish digital collage artist Chema Méndez (mendezmendez), hosted on Verse, an NFT art platform with a curatorial board. The series is a curation of his best daily pieces, presented in chapters of 5 artworks, with 1/1 holders receiving a monthly edition. As a design reference it is a dense, consistent body of surreal mixed-media work that blends Renaissance and classical painting with photography, 3D and AI imagery. Useful for art direction and moodboarding rather than for anything you can install.

For an agent

Treat this as an art-direction moodboard source, never as a component or asset source — there is nothing to install and no license to reuse the imagery. Reach for it when a brief calls for surreal classical-meets-digital collage (Renaissance painting fused with 3D and AI elements) and you need a coherent 100-piece reference set rather than scattered single images. WebFetch gets a 403; a plain curl with a browser User-Agent returns server-rendered HTML with the series metadata, but the artwork grid itself is images only.

Why it is here. A rare case of a complete, curated, 100-piece daily-practice series in one place, which makes it far more useful for establishing a visual direction than a scrolling social feed. It also documents the artist's most commercially validated body of work.
