2024 Festive Art on Tezos
2024 has been a year of remarkable art and community resilience. The Tezos community continues to thrive, with art that shines brighter than ever compared to the traditional art world that has literally gone bananas. As we step into a new year, celebrating the triumphs of surviving and thriving together, let’s take a look at some of the festive creations that were minted on Tezos during the holiday season. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to everyone who has graced the digital commonwealth with their presence this year.
This ARTicle is not part of the monthly ARTicle series of spotlights, and features were not nominated democratically. I hope everyone enjoys my personal choices for this holiday special edition, and please continue nominating artists using the #TezARTicle hashtag.
Festive Spotlights for December 2024
“Happy Christmas” by Zahra
A digital painting of a beautiful woman attending a holiday party in Paris. When admiring this artwork it is easy to forget it is a painting, as Zahra’s immaculate attention to detail nearly takes you there. From the black cocktail dress and necklace, to balloon, presents, and Christmas tree, this painting truly stands out as a 1/1 celebration of the holiday spirit. Zahra is a physical and digital painter with experience as a fashion designer, which perhaps inspired the setting and attire for this piece. Find more of her work by visiting her linktree here.
“Cinema” by Dragevex
Depicting a couple sitting in their living room watching television. This hand drawn animation captures the joy and excitement we experience when we make the time to enjoy a movie or favorite show with loved ones. The popcorn and soda add that personal touch of nostalgia, and the animation brings it all into that very specific moment where the climax of the story makes us jump from our seats. An absolutely stunning artwork full of festive energy.
Dragevex is an illustrator and 2D animator with several stunning artworks available on Objkt which can be found here.
“Cheerful Santa” by HastiN_art
A physical drawing made by hand with colored pencils. The close up depicts the reflection of Santa Claus as he places presents under the Christmas tree. Expertly shaded and composed in a hyper realistic style, this artwork truly brings the viewer into this magic moment rarely witnessed in person. Only 5 editions are available for this festive gem at less than 1 tez on primary; a true gift to any art lover.
HastiN_art recently began minting on Tezos in November of 2024, with several amazing releases available on her Objkt portfolio. Visit her linktree here and follow her on Twitter to be ready for future drops.
“FXmas Trees” by Ten Twentythree
A free to mint collection on fx(hash). Each generative artwork is created on the spot based on a unique hash determined at the time of minting. The experience of watching your very own tree get painted by the generative code is exciting and festive just like Christmas magic.

“Golden Glow Christmas” by KrrishSRT 3D
3D artwork that brings the magic of a fully decorated Christmas Tree to your screen, with presents and sparkly lights included. Recently releasing 2 variations, each as a 1/1, offering a unique color scheme crafted by hand in Blender. The final compositions being placed over black and animated to perfection, truly bringing the viewer into a unique and festive moment of peace.

“Pinky Swear” by Kamaloverr
Joining the Tezos NFT community literally the day of Christmas 2024, we want to welcome this artist with open arms and congratulate her on the wise decision to include cats in her genesis collection, making it impossible for me to ignore. The artwork “Pinky Swear” captures the comical relationship between cats and Christmas Trees. We all know who knocked over that tree.

Get To Nominating Folks For January 2025!
Let’s move into 2025 with a strong intention to make ARTicle of the Month even more of a community effort.

So far we have released four monthly ARTicles, not including this special holiday edition. Those can all be found under the articles tab on Twitter as well as the Tezos Commons Medium page.
Happy New Year And Thank You Tezos Community!
We are grateful and look forward to discovering what 2025 has in store for us all.
