New NFT for Sale on OpenSea | DENMARK ABOVE THE LITTLE MERMAID by ELIOT RAFFIT from the Nations Collection | Digital Artist Fine Art Painting | https://opensea.io/collection/nations-collection-by-eliot-raffit | I traveled to Denmark with my family when I was five and the memories are still vivid. I loved the Hans Christian Andersen children's stories and illustrations. We traveled by boat into the waters of Copenhagen and I touched this rock with the Little Mermaid. I felt it was sculpted for me. All the Scandinavian flags were vividly colored, geometric, and unforgettable. It was all very charming and I wanted to share my early impression with the world by painting an indelible image. As are my memories.
