It took #wisp to shake up the apathy on Nostr.

No new brushstrokes today. Only protection. A transparent layer to seal everything: attempts, corrections, and visible decisions. Two different paintings, born from the same need: to slow down long enough to see what remains. Now they’re ready to leave the studio. And find a place where they can be admired every day. #art #painting #artstr #isolabellart

GM #Nostr As an Android user, which client would you recommend to a friend who isn't familiar with Nostr? Amethyst, Primal, Yakihonne, Wisp or others? View quoted note →

A small curiosity about Italy that few people know: for centuries painters learned by copying the masters. It was not considered a lack of originality. It was respect. Even today when I paint I often start from a painting I love and let it pass through my own eyes. It’s the oldest way to learn. GN #nostr

Some developers release Nostr clients as previews exclusively for Premium and paying users, whilst others make them available to everyone for free. Wisp, fortunately, is one of the latter. Thanks @utxo the webmaster 🧑‍💻 🙏 View quoted note →

Perfect: finally a social network where I can be ignored in a fully decentralized way. View quoted note →

Foreign painters have been coming to Italy for centuries. Not for fame. Not for money. For light. The same light that touched the walls of Venice or the hills of Tuscany hundreds of years ago. When I paint I’m still chasing that same light. GM #Nostr

If you have an opinion on everything, you’re an expert on nothing.

Sometimes the most beautiful colors in Italy are not in paintings but on old sun-burned walls.

Tell me something in Italian without using a translator. A few words or phrases that you already know. 🇮🇹 🤌

I had a strange dream in which Nostr no longer existed and I was trying to sell my paintings on Instagram to people who didn’t know what Bitcoin was, and I got banned for inciting criminal activity.

ECSTASY, Oil on board - March, 2026 I didn't paint this from a photograph of a real place. I started from an image I had in my head — a sky that could be dawn or a sunset, a beginning or an end. A beach with no people, no animals. Just a small strip of land and the loneliness that doesn't make you feel alone. I worked on it until it became exactly what I wanted. That doesn't happen often. This time it did. ---- The paintings needs 3 weeks to dry, then it will be available. Your purchase will be safely packaged and protected from damages and humidity. 🚀 SHIPPING with tracking number!

Whoever is moved by my paintings quietly passes through the same fullness that lived within me while I was painting them. This is the small miracle of art: an emotion born in solitude that finds another soul in which to keep living. - Carlo Isolabella

GM #Nostr A strange reality about Italy. You can spend your whole life here and still never see all the art.
