I've been slowly getting back to oil painting... I felt like I had lost all the knowledge, but it's amazing how it starts flowing back! I'm painting my favorite great uncle to recover my skills and learn more... I think that after this I might start painting memes for practice... which one should I start with?

Go outside to read, it's nice.

This collaboration means so much to me 🧡 Together with nostr:nprofile1qqsdrvflm8vxp7c0ujazpqsz8qz2tsztw2nclhtr6c7h3l85gd363jcpp4mhxue69uhkyunz9e5k7tcpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9us3rt03 , we set out to create something truly special: a limited-edition silk Foulard that brings art and Bitcoin culture together. I selected one of my most meaningful pieces— “BITCOIN IS LOVE: LOVERS RUNNING FROM FIAT STORM” (from a private collection!)—and reimagined it just for this. While I worked on the new design, the nostr:nprofile1qqsdrvflm8vxp7c0ujazpqsz8qz2tsztw2nclhtr6c7h3l85gd363jcpp4mhxue69uhkyunz9e5k7tcpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9us3rt03 team searched far and wide for the finest silk and best manufacturers to bring it to life. The result? 💥 Only 21 exist 🪡 Hand Stitched 🧾 Each is numbered and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity 🧲 And yes, half of them are already gone... You can grab yours at Panties for Bitcoin site 😜 pantiesforbitcoin.com #PantiesForBitcoin #BitcoinIsLove #LimitedEdition #BitcoinArt #SilkFoulard

WE NEED TO NOSTR HARDER.

Sunrise in The Andes

📍 Pichilemu, Chile.

Hey everyone – I have some sad news to share. I won’t be at the conference this year, and neither will my artwork. It’s incredibly frustrating and heartbreaking after so many months of preparation. Last Friday, at the airport, a staff member pulled me aside and informed me that my ESTA visa status had changed. Without any prior notice, I was told I could no longer enter the U.S. using the same visa I traveled with last year — which was supposed to be valid until 2026. They said the only way I could now enter the U.S. is by applying for a full visa — the kind that gets stamped into your passport. That process takes time and isn’t guaranteed. There was nothing I could do. I lost my flight, and all my travel plans collapsed. More than the logistics, it’s the emotional weight that’s hardest to carry. I won’t be able to see the show come together, to install my pieces, to share this moment with all of you in person. After months of hard work, it’s a painful ending to this journey. But the Art of Freedom Wall will still happen — and it’s in the best possible hands. @GusGrillasca, @ryrstudio & @zetra_art will lead the project on-site. They’ve been there since the beginning and know exactly what we envisioned. If you’re attending the event in Vegas, please take a deep look at the gallery, talk to the artists, get to know them, to feel the art. Find what you feel connected to. Appreciate the work and love. Enjoy it. Even though I can’t be there physically, I’ll try to share as much as I can online — including the ideas behind my pieces and the vision that shaped this project. I still believe art can travel, even when we can’t. My piece Hidden Tax — a hand-made screen print, bigger than anything I’ve done before — won’t be there physically. But I’d love to share it with you. If you’re interested in close-up videos or learning more about what inspired it, I’m happy to talk. To all the artists and friends showing at the conference: I’m wishing you a beautiful, meaningful experience. May you connect with your audience, find collectors, and enjoy the celebration of what we’ve all built together. 🫂🧡 https://blossom.primal.net/e3fe17083ff7a7885b07cb78e0331b6096f7a1715efe288f8a28fea8903b907c

SAY NO TO TIME THIVES. In this process of learning the technique of screen printing, I’ve discovered so much more. Textures, graphics, aesthetics… the planning, the unpredictability, the discovery of an outcome that goes beyond the picture I made up in my head… … the true meaning of time and scarcity, and the beauty behind this. Thank you Life, Universe, Satoshi 🙏🏼 This artwork will be displayed in @TheBitcoinConf’s Art Gallery.

HIDDEN TAX 70 x 50 cm Ink on paper Edition of 9 original hand-printed and signed pieces. Place your bid here: https://scarce.city/auctions/hidden-tax HIDDEN TAX exposes the invisible yet devastating consequences of inflation. The central image is a photograph taken in 2014 at La Vega Central in Santiago, Chile, one of the country’s most iconic and bustling open-air markets, known for its fruit, vegetable, and everyday food stalls. The scene captures typical price signs, once a common sight. But today, those prices seem almost surreal, a reminder of how drastically the cost of basic goods has changed. The image is intervined by adding irregularly shaped zeroes (organic, blot-like forms that suggest uncontrolled, even pathological growth). These marks distort the original prices and hint that things could still get worse. The color red, traditionally used in these signs as a cheerful and attention-grabbing hue, takes on a new meaning here. It becomes jarring, even violent, reminiscent of blood. A visceral symbol of the economic pain inflation causes. Accompanying the image is a playful yet ironic text, where I offer my own definition of the word “inflation,” with a tone that is both accessible and critical. Finally, the use of bright orange in the final printed layer acts as a call to action: OPT OUT. The piece shifts from critique to possibility. It invites the viewer to consider an alternative to this “hidden tax”: Bitcoin. Check out the PoW here: https://youtube.com/shorts/TRzD1WvX0_E?si=pb-s2bqP5dAY4I4j
