Óptica.ef strengthens authenticity and intellectual property with Enotar.io
Silvia Fallas, art director at Óptica.ef, explains how digital registration has helped protect artist authorship and provide security to collectors.
Authenticity certification and intellectual property protection have become essential in the contemporary art market—especially in a landscape where virtual galleries and digital art are growing rapidly. This reality is well known to Silvia Fallas, art director of the virtual gallery Óptica.ef, who shared in an interview with Enotar.io how the need to properly protect her artists’ works led her to seek modern, reliable, and easy-to-implement tools.
It was through a recommendation from AUGE–UCR (University of Costa Rica) that Silvia discovered Enotar.io, a platform that fit an urgent need: safeguarding authorship and providing verifiable authenticity certificates for visual artists and collectors.
A recommendation that filled a gap in the visual arts
“AUGE from the UCR recommended Enotar.io so I could have security when handling intellectual property and authenticity certificates for my artists.”
For Óptica.ef, the concern extended far beyond protecting authorship—it was also essential to guarantee transparency and trust for collectors.
“It not only helps protect the artists’ authorship, but also provides peace of mind to our clients.”
Digital certification as a professional tool
Integrating digital registration allowed the gallery to solve a long-standing issue within the art sector: the lack of accessible, reliable processes for certifying authenticity.
“We found it very innovative because it clearly highlights the importance of having authenticity certificates, both for our artists and for our clients.”
With this tool, Óptica.ef can now:
- Register visual artworks with verifiable digital evidence
- Use each registration as a unique certificate of authenticity
- Protect intellectual property in a structured, professional way
- Offer trustworthy documentation to collectors and buyers
A long-standing need in the art ecosystem
Authenticity certification has been a weak point in the art market for years. Silvia has witnessed this firsthand:
“There has always been a major problem in recognizing the relevance and importance of authenticity certificates.”
Using Enotar.io allowed Óptica.ef to address this need professionally and systematically.
“We discovered not only the importance of intellectual property, but also the importance of authenticity certification.”
An invitation to artistic professionalism
Fallas emphasizes that visual artists need tools that protect their works now and in the future—especially as digital art and online sales demand greater traceability.
“I invite visual artists to use Enotar.io, either through Óptica.ef or directly, to safeguard their artworks now and in the future.”
Conclusion
Silvia’s case demonstrates how digital registration addresses long-standing needs in the visual arts: certifying authenticity, protecting authorship, and offering collectors greater confidence. Her experience confirms that technology can fill critical gaps in the art world and provide robust support for galleries and artists working in increasingly digital and complex environments.
