Idea for Nostr: What if every meaningful interaction helped a note propagate? Not just reposts, but also: โ€ข replies โ€ข zaps A reply shows engagement. A zap shows real value (skin in the game). Imagine a simple weighting: repost โ†’ strong propagation zap โ†’ medium (maybe weighted by sats) reply โ†’ light propagation Trending wouldnโ€™t come from a single algorithm, but from real circulation through the social graph. Could this work at the client level? cc @utxo the webmaster ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ป @YakiHonne @Vitor Pamplona
image VENICE, Oil on board โœ“ ORIGINAL oil painting (WITHOUT FRAME) โœ“ Size: 50x40 cm โœ“ Materials: Oil on board โœ“ Completed May 4, 2024 Venice has been painted thousands of times. Yet painters keep returning to it. Not to add something new to the city, but to understand what happens to light when it meets water. This painting was also inspired by the work of Fred Cuming, whose paintings taught me how much reflections, sky, and wet surfaces can speak. Here Venice is not crowds or noise. It is space, water, silence. ----- ๐ŸŽจ Available immediately! ๐Ÿš€ SHIPPING with tracking number!

Lately Iโ€™ve been taking much longer to finish a painting. I need to observe it more. I watch the colors dry and reflect the light differently. Iโ€™m not trying to paint something โ€œbeautiful.โ€ Beauty alone lasts a moment. A quick glance, and then the eye moves on. When I paint, Iโ€™m looking for something else. Something that makes you stop in front of the canvas for more than a second. A small friction. A feeling you canโ€™t explain right away. Something that keeps you there a little longer. If that happens, then the painting has truly begun to live. View quoted note โ†’
How do you decide the price of a painting? In my case, I chose a living painter whose work I really admire. With some self-criticism, I decided that my paintings were worth about half of his. I donโ€™t know if thatโ€™s a truly valid parameter. But it felt honest to me. Then I had a simple thought: I would let reality speak. If I couldnโ€™t sell any paintings, the price was probably too high for the market at that moment. If they sold immediately, maybe I was asking too little. If they sold from time to time, I was probably somewhere close to the right balance. And thatโ€™s exactly what happened. And itโ€™s still happening. The price of art is not an absolute truth. Itโ€™s a slow conversation between me and the people who look at my work. And some conversations can last for years. #art #artstr #isolabellart
I fall asleep and wake up with Nostr on my mind. Every new feature feels like a small Christmas morning. Maybe itโ€™s just dopamine. The same feeling when someone sends a few satoshis as a zap for one of my paintings posted there. A small signal. Someone, somewhere in the world, felt something. And the cycle continues. For almost three years now.
Many people tell me they find my paintings beautiful, moving, even inspiring โ€” and every word truly means a lot. But the truth is, turning that appreciation into actual sales isnโ€™t easy. If youโ€™ve ever thought, โ€œIโ€™d love to own one of his pieces,โ€ now is the perfect time! Buying one of my artworks is more than just owning a painting โ€” itโ€™s a way to support my work, my passion, and help me keep creating. Feel free to message me for details or just to express your interest. Every bit of support matters. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿซ‚๐ŸŽจ
image ECSTASY Just the beginning. A first layer, a direction. The sea is still uncertain, the sky is still finding its voice. For now there is only light opening through the clouds and reflecting on the water. Paintings often start like this: an intuition, a few gestures, and space for something to happen. The rest will come with time. Work in progress. #art #painting #artstr #isolabellart
Every time someone chooses to buy one of my paintings, something happens that I still struggle to explain. Not because I think my art cannot be appreciated. But because knowing that an image born quietly in my studio resonates so deeply with someone that they want to admire it every day still feels rare to me. Thatโ€™s when I know the painting has found its home.
image CLIFF REMAINS, Oil on board โœ“ ORIGINAL oil painting (WITHOUT FRAME) โœ“ Size: 40x50 cm โœ“ Materials: Oil on board โœ“ Completed: July 24, 2025 There are places that don't move. The sea hits them, the wind wears them down, the years pass. But they remain. I didn't paint this to describe a place. I painted it because sometimes you need to look at something that holds. Something that was there before you, and will be there after. ------- ๐ŸŽจ Available immediately!

image SILENCE AMONG THE WAVES (quartet), Oil on cradle wood panel โœ“ ORIGINAL oil painting (WITHOUT FRAME) โœ“ Size: 20x20cm each โœ“ Materials: Oil on cradle wood panel โœ“ Completed: October 11, 2025 **SILENCE AMONG THE WAVES** A quartet exploring what remains beneath restless motion. Four paintings. Four moments. One question: what does silence sound like when the sea never stops moving? --- **THE FIRST SURGE** The moment when the sea holds its breath, before everything begins to move. A tense silence, full of unspoken promises. The wave that hasn't risen yet โ€” but will. **THE BROKEN CREST** The wave that breaks โ€” free and fragile โ€” revealing within its roar another kind of stillness. Even in chaos, there is something that doesn't move. Not absence โ€” presence. **THE DISTANT SWELL** The swell you see from shore. Far enough that you can't hear it, but close enough to know it's coming. A line so thin it almost isn't there. Sometimes distance is the only way to hear silence clearly. **THE RESTING DEEP** Where everything settles. Where light sinks and reflects at once. The deepest silence โ€” the one that holds everything we cannot see anymore, but know is there. Where everything is quiet, but nothing is still. --- From surface to depth. From breath to silence. This is not one painting repeated four times. This is a single breath, told in four movements. ---- The paintings needs 3 weeks to dry, then it will be available.

image ๐ŸŽจ GOLDEN WITNESS, Oil on board โœ“ ORIGINAL oil painting (WITHOUT FRAME) โœ“ Size: 65x54cm each โœ“ Materials: Oil on board โœ“ Completed: October 31, 2025 This painting was born from a photograph by @Goldgraphy โ€” an artist on Nostr whose work I admire. I asked to use the image. He said yes, asking nothing in return. Just wanted to support my work. That's rare. So when this sells, I'm sending 55,000 sats his way โ€” not because he asked, but because that's what reciprocity looks like between artists. A single tree holding light in a vast valley. The moment before everything changes. Sometimes the most powerful compositions are the simplest ones. ---- The paintings needs 3 weeks to dry, then it will be available.
