Genesis of Cryptoart

Cryptoart is a literal combination of art technology and money all encapsuled in an art representation having an intrinsic monetary value. Cryptoarts is the ability of making a cryptocurrency representation in the form of a beautiful painting having an added advantage of bearing the cryptowallets and it's cryptocurrency value. It was originally established in 2013 by Troy Fearnow and was officially launched by March 2014.

Troy's idea was bridging the gap between his passion for art and his interest in Bitcoin.
Cryptoart is a project that serves this purpose of bringing Bitcoin beyond its traditional social circles by creating art pieces itself to serve as a store of currencies.
