The Art of the Trade

Steven Minnaar is a celebrated artist best known for his groundbreaking “Minnaar Money” collection—a tradable art series and interactive treasure hunt. Minnaar uses his art like currency, often trading or “spending” it to meet his needs, making each piece both a work of art and a medium of exchange. His creations span a wide range of mediums, subjects, and genres, yet are unified by their intentional design as tradable, functional art. Minnaars are actively collected, traded, and valued by a growing community of collectors and enthusiasts.

Key aspects of Steven’s work include:

Freedom – Steven explores the principles of freedom that can help one live a more peaceful and prosperous life.
Treasure Hunt – Each Minnaar (excluding Fish Eyes) includes one or more of 24 words that, when arranged in the correct combination, can unlock a treasure containing over one full bitcoin.
Scarcity – Fewer than 3,000 Minnaars exist to date, and Steven trades only a limited number into circulation each month. Join the waiting list or explore the secondary market via the Collector Forum.
Authenticity – Each work comes with a digital Certificate of Authenticity, protecting collectors against forgeries, counterfeits, and fakes.
Tradability – Each artwork can be traded for another of equal value.
Community & Marketplace – Join the growing community of collectors who actively meet, discuss, and trade Minnaars.
