The Power of Ideas

“The ideas that men hold determine their choice of actions. This means that the most important thing in the world is ideas.” – Percy L. Greaves, Jr.

“Art without ideas is simply decoration.” – Steven Minnaar

Peace & Prosperity

Thank you for stopping by to explore my art and treasure hunt, which I have created to promote peace and prosperity.

The Seven Pillars of the Minnaar Collection

  • Peace & Prosperity
  • Treasure Hunt – With few exceptions, each Minnaar features one or more of 24 unique words hidden on the reverse. When arranged in the correct sequence, these words unlock a treasure worth over one full bitcoin.
    Collect, trade, and decipher to gather all 24 — and see if you can claim the prize.
  • Collectibility – With fewer than 3,000 original paintings in private hands, Minnaars are extremely rare and highly collectible.
    Serving as both my exclusive store of value and personal savings, I release fewer than 50 original paintings per year, with the remainder made available for exchange only. I trade solely what is necessary to meet my everyday needs, ensuring that supply remains strictly limited.
    Since the launch of this project in 2021, values have increased by over 66,000%.
    As a result, there is currently a 30 to 60-day waiting list for new acquisitions.
    I believe that Minnaars should be the first assets you acquire when you have extra money, and the last assets you sell if you need money.
  • Exchangeability – Once you are able to acquire a Minnaar, you can exchange it for another of equal value in my collection.
  • Authenticity – Each work is accompanied by a digital Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring provenance and protection against forgeries, counterfeits, and imitations.
  • CommunityJoin the growing community of collectors who actively meet, discuss, and trade Minnaars.
