The NFT Art Project
Representing the Masters of art history + DAO for Creators & Collectors
MAD Masters is a unique, long-term and high artistic NFT project that pays homage to the masters of art history. It is a collaborative project with artists from all over the world. Also we're building a supportive community for artists and artlovers - the Cult Of Arts - and a community driven support & charity fund. We are the first nft project with paid community roles.
In each new MAD Masters release, the circulation is shortened and the mint price is raised at the same time. The total circulation will never exceed 10,000pc.

Kay Leben from Armenia
Pop Artist, Illustrator, Digital Artist, Painter, Graphic Designer
I am a Yerevan-based digital artist mainly working in the genre of Pop Art. In my artwork, I tend to stay true to my favorite art movement that celebrates the aesthetics of everyday life and raises popular culture to the level of fine art. However, if you look closely at my digital artwork, it becomes clear that I’ve made cynicism a part of the stylistic repertoire and symbolism of my art, which, in my opinion, perfectly conveys the realities of today's life.

Gustav Klimt
Gustav Klimt was an Austrian symbolist painter, whose primary subject was the female body. His paintings, murals, and sketches are marked by a sensual eroticism, which is especially apparent in his pencil drawings. Klimt attended the Vienna University of Arts and Crafts in 1876, and formed the “Company of Artists” with his two brothers and a friend, after which he was awarded the Golden Order of Merit from the Emperor of Vienna. In 1892, his father and one of his brothers died, leaving him responsible for their families. The family tragedy also affected his artistic vision, which helped him develop his own personal style.

Claude Monet
Claude Monet was in almost every sense the founder of French Impressionist painting, the term itself coming from one of his paintings, Impression, Sunrise. As a child, his father wanted him to go into the grocery business, but his heart was in the profession of artistry, and at age 11, he entered Le Havre secondary school of the arts. During his stay at the secondary school, he was known for the caricatures he would draw for the locals for ten to twenty francs each. Five years later, he met artist Eugene Bouldin, who taught him the techniques of “en plein air” painting and became his mentor. At the age of 16, Monet left school for Paris, where instead of studying the great artworks of the masters, he sat by the window and painted what he saw outside.

The Cult of Arts (COA)
The MAD Queen
Come hither mine friends, step forth to my chamber,
Delve into my great cult of art.
I rule in this realm, for the MAD queen am I,
Arts wonders are what fill my heart.
Here we pay homage to those noble beings
Who inspired us through their work.
We praise these magicians, these masters and gods,
Who shine through life’s darkness and murk.
A new era of art have we shaped and wrought,
A currency rich with mystique.
And know this, each master is one of a kind,
A rare gift that’s worth is unique.
Many are among us, disciples with skill,
All loyal to our great endeavour.
Great riches they earn, for in Ether we pay,
We’re indebted to them forever.
And so, I invite you, whoever you are,
To enter into our cults arms.
For we know that if you’re a lover of art,
You’ll fall deep in love with our charms.
