Art that generates:
ART-P.O.
Helia Resource SRI is announcing an innovative way to break away from the usual Wall Street initial public offering (IPO) process) for the launch of the electronic platform in Africa.
Summary:
Helia SRI is EXCLUSIVELY offering Felix de Weldon limited edition lithographs..
Proceeds from purchases would build upon the core foundation to operate the SRI and continue to bring into motion the concept of art generating a revenue stream.
Participation:
Under its "Art-P-O" process supporters of the Helia would purchase a signed lithograph created by Felix de Weldon. The prints included are 1) Flag Raising on Iwo Jima War Memorial; 2) the Discus Thrower and 3) The Lovers
Each purchaser of the lithograph will potentially benefit from the projected income stream of the platform via the Helia SRI equity stake in the venture. The goal would be for each "Art-P-O' investor to eventually recoup the cost of each lithograph while providing opportunities to the disadvantaged.
Why buy art???
People buy art to connect with their emotions and gain perspective on complex feelings
Many things in our world are disposable, meaningless, and soulless. In contrast, art takes thought, time and talent. It speaks truth
Art enhances our lives and improves our well-being. It may be the catalyst for a conversation, or set the mood in a room environment
As an investment an increase in value is always desirable in art, but the best investment is making is in tone's own quality of life and in the Helia SRI case - providing a favorable impact on others.
Reputation:
Felix de Weldon will be remembered as the last Great Master of Sculpture. Until his death at the age of 96 (June 3rd, 2003), he created over two thousand public monuments on all seven continents, which made him the most prolific monumental sculptor in the history of the world.
Felix de Weldon’s (1907-2003) reputation for consistent quality provides the foundation for a good investment. De Weldon is considered the last great master of sculpture.
From Here to Equality...
The Musika Project Africa
The ultimate in impact investing
benefiting the smallest of farmers in the region - especially women.
Helia Resources has partnered with Musika Solutions to develop technical products, solutions, and services designed to create efficiencies in small-scale farming and related commodity trading via automation, initially in Zimbabwe, and then cross-border into Africa.
The looming launch of an electronic commodity exchange (expected in Apr 2025) will benefit the smallest of farmers in the region. The potential block-chain* encrypted “end to end" commodity platform would ensure all facets of the commodity value were covered, tracked, and monitored.
The social appeal of the venture is that a basic priority designed in the platform would address the need to accommodate the small-scale farmer, - including the un-banked, and under-banked - and make them viable at the institutional level. It would allow the smallest of farmers to participate on an institutional level.
Platform technology spearheaded by David Ogg who previously designed the CBOE FX platform, Refinitiv FX platform (part of LSEG business group) and Citibank FX trading platform.
Dave Ogg previously worked as CEO of Hotspot FX, founder, and CEO of Lava FX, as well as head of foreign exchange at Credit Suisse and HSBC, Ogg's backing of the Musika Exchange brings a huge amount of credibility to ensure reputable grading of commodities and its delivery of necessary crops through his proprietary technology and expertise.
Musika has received the corporate support of Old Mutual (a diversified international financial services group listed on the stock exchange in London, South Africa, Malawi, Namibia and Zimbabwe.)
Musika also has the back of the largest food companies and processors in the region.

"The Discus Thrower" is the most famous piece in antiquity. Five hundred years B.C. the Greeks were at their peak. Myron revolutionized sculpture depicting implied movement (one motion stopping and another one about to begin) for the 1st time in history.

"The Lovers" commemorates the Celebration of Sensual and Spiritual Beauty. Felix de Weldon used his talents to capture the personality and mood of true love. The Lovers masterfully brings together incredible human feeling asserting that all of us are worthy of love and respect and that each individual is unique and valuable. The Lovers is one of the most romantic works of art by any artist in any medium.

Helia Resource has partnered with World Athletics in bring the message of exercise for better living. Being inspired by watching the world's best athletes can provide children/young adults with the chance to break a sedentary cycle, get away from the TV/computer/iPad/iPod/other screen and get active.
One key factor in fighting obesity is to get your child active
1 in 8 people in the world were living with obesity. Approximately 1 in 5 US children and adolescents have obesity. Worldwide adult obesity has more than doubled since 1990, and adolescent obesity has quadrupled.
Obesity affects some groups more than others, including adolescents, Hispanic and non-Hispanic Black children, and children in families with lower incomes.
