What is the Art of Cryptowaves?
The Art of Cryptowaves is a collection of 3139 generative artistic price waves created to honor evolutionary nature of crypto and all the crypto traders. Each cryptowave is a unique piece of artwork with elements inspired by price action and technical analysis with its own color palette and traits.
The Art of Cryptowaves is the first NFT collection at the intersection of crypto, trading, NFT, and art, representing a historically significant NFT.
Only 3139 cryptowaves will ever be available:
39 waves are being withheld from the sale. These will be used for giveaways, community members and the team.
Design Elements
Colors
We designed cryptowaves with different color palettes. Some combinations are uniquely designed to be linked with certain emotions and with particular stages of crypto life. Other combinations are generatively created according to color theory.
Time & History
The Art of Cryptowaves focuses on different relevant time intervals for BTC and ETH. Certain waves highlight the bull runs, such as Bitcoin from 2015 to 2017, while other waves depict bear trends, such as in 2018. Long & Short. Bull & Bear. History & Time.
Waves & Trading
Different types of waves aim at conveying distinct natural and human traits while representing different types of crypto actors. One type of wave can be very rough, symbolizing high volatility with greed, fear and uncertainty in trading scenarios, while other types are smoother, viewing the cryptocurrency evolution from a medium time frame. Some waves are very smooth, representing confidence in the market from an investor point of view. Only ETH waves have a staircase representation that symbolizes the pixel art images of early NFT, such as CryptoPunks that were an inspiration for the ERC-721 standard that now powers most digital art and collectibles.
Intensity & Perception
Emotions are not only driven by colours. We designed different types of cryptowaves representation, ranging from ethereal forms to intense ones.
Specials
21 BTC and 7 ETH crypto waves have special details, ranging from Bitcoin history to Crypto behaviours, from Technical Analysis to NFT world. We believe certain of these rare details will sparkle lots of emotions and memories.

Team
Hi! We are two friends connected with the passion of technology, design and arts. In this project we focused on crypto and art, establishing our own data-driven style. We continuously look for and explore new ways of communication.
@288kArt
I shape cryptocurrencies signals into Arts and Emotions. While not working on Deep Learning models and Machine Learning in a top company, I enjoy creating data-driven arts exploring different tools and domains.
@iamonchain
I build software at @Meta. I enjoy learning about crypto and new technologies. Previously worked at a number of startups.

Genesis
Everyday @288kart was hearing price action, support, resistance, low time frame, high time frame, take profit, stop losses... But most importantly a sentence got the attention: "when in doubt, zoom out." This is when he saw art to be discovered!

Transforming PA
Why don't we create a visual representation that every trader is aware of and is on their screen everyday? What about transforming a steady rise of Bitcoin and Ethereum numbers into appealing artworks? As Michelangelo once said "I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free", as @288kart saw price actions, lines, averages and colors in TA tools. He wanted to set them free into a proper eternal artwork.
November 2021
ITERATIONS
Many Machine Learning tools were available to carve and mould price actions: CLIP, VQGAN and StyleGAN to name a few. After several iterations and brainstorming with @iamonchain, the decision was made to only use the same tools as Technical Analysts have, thus to be in interrelation with traders. Cryptowaves of different styles were unified under "The Art of Cryptowaves" as a reference to "The Art of the Fugue" from Bach. Every Cryptowave shows a variation of a single principal subject: Ethereum or Bitcoin.
January 2022
LAUNCH
We are looking forward to January to launch the minting. Stayed tuned!
