Silence is a sound some can’t hear. That’s the whisper guiding visitors through the virtual museum of Mad Lips 21, a digital artist from Montréal who’s redefining the landscape of contemporary art and Web3 expression.
Inside this metaverse gallery — immersive, intimate, and accessible to all — Mad Lips 21 unveils a world of quiet echoes, visual poetry, and digital transformation. This is not just an exhibition. It’s an experience of awakening.
A digital museum with a soul
Built entirely by the artist herself, the Mad Lips 21 Museum is a deeply personal space. Every floor, every pixel, every emotion has been shaped by her hands — and her pain.
The museum unfolds in three symbolic levels:
Level 1: Nature and Awakening — A visual dialogue between Earth and silence. The planet speaks here, through mouths and textures of green. A call to remember what we’ve ignored.
Level 2: Chaos — War, loss, broken love, inner storms. A necessary dissonance before rebirth.
Level 3: Transformation — Where sorrow softens into light. The ego fades. Hope takes form.
Each space includes audio whispers, scattered like secret messages. Put on headphones and let the artist’s voice guide you through silence, vulnerability, and inner growth.
A rare artistic achievement in the metaverse
While the concept of metaverse galleries is emerging, fully personalized, emotionally layered, and self-built art museums remain extremely rare, even in the most experimental corners of Web3.
Most artists in the space focus on minting NFTs or participating in group shows hosted by platforms. Very few take the time, energy, and technical risk to build an entire world from scratch, let alone one with a coherent narrative, immersive audio design, and custom visual elements such as a transparent looping video that plays inside a virtual gallery space.
The Mad Lips 21 Museum stands apart not only as a creative feat, but as a statement: Art can be deeply emotional and still technologically advanced. It can be accessible and avant-garde. It can live online and still touch the soul.
This makes Mad Lips 21 one of the few independent artists today to push the boundaries of both artistic storytelling and metaverse engineering, securing her place among the innovators of the next digital art wave.
Why lips?
The collection is made entirely of lips. Some are serene, some monstrous. Some mourn, some scream.
“The lips chose me,” says the artist.“They came to me after I lost my father. I wasn’t speaking much to anyone. I was grieving in silence. And lips became my way of expressing everything I couldn’t say out loud.”
Through every artwork, lips become more than a motif — they become a language for the unspeakable, a reclamation of power when the voice has been lost.
A tribute called Cancer-Free Lips
One of the most touching pieces is Cancer-Free Lips, a tribute to the artist’s father, who passed away from leukemia.
“Sometimes we don't get that miracle,” she says. “Cancer breaks families. It’s cruel. If I could erase it from humanity forever, I would. That piece… I created it for everyone who’s ever wished for healing and didn’t get it.”
A pioneering Web3 artist
While many artists are still discovering NFTs, Mad Lips 21 went further — she built her own gallery in the metaverse, using OnCyber as her base.
She even overcame technical limitations to integrate a transparent video, a feat rarely seen in virtual exhibitions.
“There were no tutorials. I had to figure it out by trial and error. But I wanted something that lived and breathed inside the metaverse — not just a static loop.”
The result? A poetic, living museum that anyone with a browser can enter — no ticket required.
Art as a responsibility
For Julie, art is not just for show. It’s a responsibility.
“An artist reflects the world they live in. If you’re not doing that, you’re not really an artist. For me, it’s natural — I can’t ignore climate change, suffering, or beauty. I have to speak about it.”
Her artworks, scattered like seeds across the three levels, echo themes of love, death, and transformation — a trilogy that defines the human condition.
A future in bloom
This museum is just the beginning. In September, Mad Lips 21 will release a new NFT collection called X Lovers, a poetic series on the scars of past relationships. She’s also working on a graphic novel scheduled for 2026.
Still, this first museum holds a special place.
“If I could have one person visit this museum, it would be my father,” she says.“He was my biggest fan. He loved technology. I wish he could see what I’ve built — I know he would’ve loved it.”
