The Birth of Highdellic: How Art and Friendship Created a Unique NFT Vision
In the world of digital art, opportunities are endless—but for a group of friends from various art colleges and universities, a shared dream brought them together to create something truly unique. This is the story of how Highdellic was born—a collective vision that turned into an NFT art platform, built on creativity, collaboration, and an eye for the extraordinary.
🎨 From Passion to Passive Income
As students and emerging artists, we were always exploring ways to turn our creativity into a sustainable source of income. Traditional art sales were competitive, and making a living solely from artwork required a strong presence in the industry. That’s when the idea struck: What if we combined our skills and built a digital space where our work could thrive in the NFT world?
Instead of working in isolation, we joined forces, each contributing in different ways—some focused on creating digital masterpieces, others on marketing, storytelling, and the technical side of running an online marketplace. Highdellic.com was born not just as a marketplace but as a movement to showcase innovative, one-of-a-kind digital art.
👁️ Why Eyes? The Infinite Possibilities
In the early days, our art styles were diverse, but we needed a unifying theme—something never done before, something that carried meaning and limitless creative potential. The answer was right in front of us: the eye.
Eyes have been a symbol of mystery, perception, and expression across cultures and history. Every eye tells a story, holds emotions, and connects with the viewer on a personal level. More than that, the possibilities were infinite. We could craft surreal eyes, mechanical eyes, cosmic visions, fantasy worlds within irises, and much more. No two pieces would ever be the same, and that’s what made it special.
🚀 Turning Vision into Reality
Creating Highdellic wasn’t easy—it took months of planning, refining ideas, and overcoming technical and creative hurdles. From brainstorming designs to setting up our online store, every step involved passion and dedication.
We also realised that producing and publishing digital art wasn’t just about creating the piece itself. Each artwork had to go through a rigorous process: refining, rechecking details, transferring files, creating mockups, photography, writing descriptions, and preparing email promotions and marketing materials. It was more than just ‘upload and sell’—it was a full-fledged creative production.
🔮 The Future of Highdellic
Now, with Highdellic live and evolving, we are on a mission to bring eye-themed digital art to collectors and enthusiasts worldwide. Our journey is just beginning, and we’re excited to see where this vision takes us.
⚡ The Challenges We Faced
We were going well, then the pandemic hit, forcing us to put everything on hold. With everyone struggling to balance personal and professional commitments, we had no choice but to close the website as none of us had time to maintain it.
Last year, we decided to revive and relaunch Highdellic.com, hoping to pick up where we left off. However, we soon found ourselves facing a new challenge—the rise of AI-generated art.
