I believe in transparency when it comes to pricing. Buying an original artwork can be quite an investment, and no one likes surprises. That’s why every piece I create will have a set price. #art #artstr #oilpainting

The final study in this series. This ornate frame works really well with the stateliness of the bust. Lucky I have a bunch of these frames in different sizes. #art #artstr #grownostr #nostr #nostrart #oilpainting #oilpaint

I really enjoyed painting this bust. With a limited palette, the focus shifts entirely to values — light, shadow, and form. It turned into a perfect study and a stepping stone toward the final piece in this series. #oilpainting #stilllife #art #artstr #oilstill

Study with AirPods (2025) - Oil on panel, 40x30cm #oilpainting #stilllife #contemporaryrealism #art #artstr

This piece brings together everything I love to paint: the organic flow of roots, the play of light in glass reflections, and the sharp, structured contrast of AirPods. Sharing some close-up details, hope you enjoy them as much as I do. #rootstudy #rootpainting #glassreflections #paintedglass #art #artstr #oilpainting

And another framed oil painting. #stilllife #realismart #oilpainting #art #artstr

Framed and finished. Seeing a piece in its frame always feels like the final touch. #mariestellamaris #contemporaryrealism #oilpaintingart #modernstilllife #fineartpainting #realismartists #artcollectorscommunity #framedart #originaloilpainting #realistpainting #artpresentation #panelpainting #oilpaintingoriginal #fineartoftheday #paintingdetails #artseries

The tricky truth: shells like this are often easier to paint than a plain white cup. Complex shapes give clear shadows and edges, while subtle surfaces demand far more precision. This is the 5th piece in my practice series—proof that “complicated” isn’t always hardest. #oilpainting #oilpaintings #stilllifeart #gallery #fineart #art #traditionalart #realism #painting #stilllife #seashell #shellpainting #practicepainting #realistpainting #classicalpainting #realismart #fineartpractice #artistsoninstagram #artprocess

I’m building a Photo Booth / workstation, including a neutral light lamp for painting. Progress so far. #artstr #painting #build

If schools were designed around the premise “use it, or lose it”, 70% of the curriculum could be scrapped.

In less than a month, my safety net disappears. No more steady paycheck. No more fallback plan. Just six months of full focus on making a living from painting. Scared? A bit. Excited? Hell yes. Wish me luck. Or don’t. I’m doing it either way. #art #artstr #nostr #grownostr #fineart

Why is it the people in finance specifically who can’t wrap their heads around Bitcoin?
