An NFT artist can be any visual or performing artist (painter, photographer, video designer, musician, etc.) who makes a tokenized version of their digital (or sometimes physical) creation.
The recent hype surrounding NFTs has resulted in a flurry of modern-day artists leveraging blockchain technology to redefine art as we know it. However, not all NFT artists make it big, and those often tend to make the headlines. In this article, let’s dive deep into the market’s top 5 best-selling NFT artists.
