Artist’s Statement by Steven Minnaar I call my works Minnaars—not just paintings or pieces, but expressions of a philosophy. In Dutch, Minnaar means “lover,” and I embrace that meaning fully. To me, each piece is a symbol of love: love for life, for art, for humanity, for romance, and especially for women—their presence, their spirit, and the beauty of the female form. I work across multiple mediums, styles, and sizes, often shifting fluidly between them. Whether I’m painting the delicate curve of the human figure, the serenity of nature, or creating expressive, gestural works to probe my own inner terrain, each Minnaar is a meditation on the sanctity, beauty, and tragedy of life. At the heart of my practice is a deep respect for authenticity, liberty, and self-mastery. I create not just to express, but to explore: to uncover truth, to cultivate an abundance mindset, and to challenge both myself and my audience to live freely and intentionally. Many of my works reflect my exploration of the mystery and grace in the female form, nature, and the complex power of human presence. Minnaars are more than just objects—they are expressions of value. I offer them as an alternative store of value, one that can resist inflation and reward presence. Unlike traditional assets, they pay dividends every time you stop to look at them. Each piece is priced in silver, not fiat currency, as a quiet act of protest and a stand for integrity. Every Minnaar includes a digital Certificate of Authenticity to protect its provenance and ensure lasting value for my collectors. And in a world of mass production and fleeting trends, my art remains exchangeable—collectors can trade one Minnaar for another of equal value within the collection. This invites participation, scarcity, and stewardship. Each Minnaar is rare by design, part of a living economy of beauty, meaning, and truth. #art

Declaration of Peace I hereby declare that I am not at war with anyone. I have no troops. I salute no flag. I seek peaceful, harmonious, mutually voluntary relationships with my fellow human beings. I do my best to respect the life, liberty, and property of others, and I ask the same in return. When I have trespassed another, I will do my best to amend and restore the violation. When I am trespassed against, I strive to be forgiving and give mercy. I have been the beneficiary of forgiveness and mercy and I know it’s power. I believe in self-defense. I actively work to withdraw all explicit, implicit, and tacit support for violent actors—enemies of humankind who knowingly violate life, liberty, and property. I break off all relations with any government that does not give me the right to say “No.” This type of government is nothing more than a group of people acting under the pretense of authority where they have none. In the words of Robert LeFevre: I will make no contribution to any political campaign or political party. I will endorse no issue and no candidate. I will not vote. I will not fund any government if I can help it. I will de-register and refuse to participate in government-sponsored proceedings of any sort. I will not run for office, nor hold a political job even if asked. I will patronize those persons and firms that have the least to do with government. If a firm or individual is heavily subsidized by the government, I will have nothing to do with it; it is an arm of the State. I will not ask for government help, guidance, advice, money, or emolument of any kind. I will accept no government check for Social Security, welfare, injury, pension, or for any difficulty I may be in. I will solve my own problems. I will set my own standards in such a way that I impose on no one. I will injure no one for any reason. I will be as generous and helpful to others as my ability makes possible. I will live up to every contractual agreement I voluntarily enter into. I will, therefore, take great care to only enter into those agreements that are worthy of fulfillment. I will be true to the highest and best within me, committing no act of theft, dishonesty, or violence against any other human whatsoever. May peace be with you, Steven Minnaar More: Https://stevenminnaar.com/peace
