The Minnaar Project advances love, life, liberty, and individual sovereignty through art.
To acquire a Minnaar is not simply to obtain an artwork.
It is to participate in a living system of values grounded in human intention, restraint, and long-term responsibility.
The Project exists to expand Sovereign Individualism—the idea that human beings can live peacefully, voluntarily, and without coercion. These ideas are expressed freely through the Sovereign Declaration and may be shared without permission.
The artworks serve a different purpose.
Art as Stored Human Intention
The Minnaar Project is sustained through a finite body of original artworks held within the Minnaar Treasury.
The Treasury releases works deliberately and only as necessary to support the Project’s ongoing needs—preserving continuity, independence, and long-term coherence.
Release is governed by restraint rather than demand.
Availability emerges from necessity, not promotion.
Minnaars are original works of art that together form a coherent, evolving oeuvre rather than a series of isolated objects—designed to endure, circulate thoughtfully, and carry meaning across time.
Each Minnaar exists as both:
-
a complete work of art, and
-
(when designated as such) a sovereign share within a larger living body of work.
Sovereigns (Internal Unit of Reference)
Within the Project, relative position is expressed internally through Sovereigns.
A Sovereign is an official print of the Sovereign Declaration.
It is an original print artwork that also functions as the Treasury’s internal unit of reference.
Sovereigns do not exist independently.
They are not abstract units, tokens, or instruments.
They serve solely to express relative scarcity, material commitment, and artistic intention within the body of work.
Sovereigns are not money, currency, assets, securities, or promises of future value.
Design Principles
Each Minnaar is:
-
created as a record of human intention
-
released sparingly, by design
-
authenticated with verifiable provenance
-
stewarded within a finite, private system
Availability is limited by intention.
Meaning is preserved by restraint.
Foundational Minnaars (2019–2025)
Between 2019 and the close of 2025, approximately 3,000 Minnaars were created during the Project’s exploratory phase.
This period was dedicated to discovering voice, refining language, and testing form.
Beginning in 2026, all new works are created under a fully articulated, mature system defined by tightened scarcity, clarified intent, and deliberate long-term structure.
Foundational Minnaars form a closed body of work.
They will never be recreated.
Those who steward them hold not experiments, but origins.
Structure of Stewardship
Circulating Minnaars — 1 Sovereign
Official Sovereign Declaration Prints designed to move through the world and carry the Project’s ideas into daily life.
Impression Minnaars — 10 Sovereigns
Hand-crafted linocut impressions combining permanence with repeatable form.
Abstract Minnaars — 100 Sovereigns
Small-scale abstract works created as complete statements.
Treasury-Grade Minnaars
Designed for holding, stewardship, and preservation.
Treasury Abstracts — 200 Sovereigns
Large-scale abstract works created for long-term continuity.
Lady Minnaar — Treasury Series — 500 Sovereigns
Original figurative works centered on the sovereign feminine. Released rarely and designed to endure.
Acquisition & Exchange Clarification
Minnaars are original works of art—not securities, commodities, or financial instruments.
Sovereigns are internal, non-redeemable reference artworks used solely within the Treasury. No future value, liquidity, or appreciation is promised or implied.
Participation signifies voluntary alignment with a private artistic ecosystem centered on authorship, restraint, and stewardship.
Those who acquire a Minnaar do not assume authority or allegiance.
They help preserve a living cultural record of peaceful self-rule.
