​
Storytelling Project is an evolving multimedia collection that Svetlana Gencheva is gradually presenting on the cryptographic art platform OpenSea. This project brings together more than fifty works, using various classical and digital techniques such as oil painting, engraving, animation, magic lantern, augmented reality, and video mapping. Each individual element in the collection contains the narrative behind this project, "Mythology of My Aquarium," imagined and written by Svetlana Gencheva. The goal of the Storytelling Project is to develop a collection of images worthy of a graphic novel, enriched with augmented reality. The project will then be adapted into Gif Art and finally transformed into an animated short film. The animated film Mythology of My Aquarium is directed by Svetlana Gencheva, with original music by Philippe Marion, and editing, sound design, and AI animation created by Daniel Ahmakov, featuring the voices of Benoît Marisal and Anika Jeliaskoff. Completed in May 2024, the film won two Best Animated Short Film awards at the Los Angeles Short Film Awards and the Courtyard Independent Film Festival at the Museo Emblema in Naples. It is also nominated for the Fiction for Tomorrow competition by the French Ministry of Culture and has been selected for the official program of the Japan World Film Festival, the VALÈIFF / Valencia Indie Film Festival, the Lift-off Film Festival, as well as the New York Film & Cinematography Awards 2024.

NFT
The concept of NFT means a cryptoasset or a work of art, authenticated thanks to the blockchain of a cryptocurrency which gives it its first value. This makes it possible to trace and verify the origin of the digital work. Finally, NFT collections are like start-ups, that is to say investment projects with real potential.
