I paint in oil. Inspired by time, silence, and light. Each work is unique and for sale in Bitcoin. โ†’ https://isolabellart.it.com Paintings notes: #isolabellart Art gallery: https://gallery.isolabellart.it.com
EXTENDED It's my favorite feed on #Wisp, because it's nice to be able to rely on the choices of those you follow and it's a way to discover new people. image
Iโ€™m rewatching the TV series Lost, and I remembered it completely differently. Itโ€™s as if Iโ€™m watching it for the first time. image
Yesterday I startled a cardiac surgeon by talking about Bitcoin. He argued itโ€™s dangerous because itโ€™s intangible, digital. I pointed out that his euros in the bank are too โ€” with the difference that his can be frozen at any moment. There was that strange silence where neither side is really wrong. Then I thought about it more. Itโ€™s not just about freedom. Itโ€™s about weight. Bitcoin doesnโ€™t simply make you free. It makes you fully responsible. If you make a mistake, you pay. If you lose it, itโ€™s gone. If you sign, itโ€™s final. No one steps in. No one fixes it. No one forgives it. The banking system, instead, is a softer cage: it limits you, yesโ€ฆ but sometimes it also protects you from yourself. The truth is less heroic than we like to tell it: not everyone actually wants that kind of freedom. And not everyone is ready to carry its cost. Maybe itโ€™s not about choosing a side. But about knowing when it makes sense to trust othersโ€ฆ and when to accept being completely on your own.
BREACH is taking shape. The rocks are finding their place. The light is starting to come through the arch. There's still a lot to do. But the painting is starting to tell me what it wants. That's when I know it's going somewhere. Work in progress. #art #artstr #isolabellart View quoted note โ†’
I donโ€™t know how useful it is to talk, for an artist who paints like I do. Sometimes I think I should stop writing and let the paintings speak. Iโ€™d say a lot less bullshit. Like this. And maybe something more true would remain.
This is the harbour of my city. That tower in the distance โ€” the lighthouse โ€” is its symbol. I've seen it a thousand times. But never like this. Drowned in orange. Reflected in still water. Surrounded by masts that look like a forest on fire. I feel proud and repulsed at the same time, and I can't explain why. Maybe that's exactly why I have to paint it. New painting coming. #art #artstr #isolabellart View quoted note โ†’
Wisp is the bliss, a Nostr clientโ€™s kiss, light, sharp, and efficient, in the dataโ€™s abyss.
Iโ€™ve been a proud #Wisp user since version 0.1.0-alpha, and I say this as if months have passed, when in fact only three weeks have gone by. Wisp is the fastest-evolving and most efficient Nostr client Iโ€™ve seen so far, and honestly, in an ecosystem like Nostr, where many projects start out as experiments and remain in their infancy for a long time, seeing a client evolve so rapidly is almost disorientingโ€ฆ but also promising. I hope @utxo the webmaster ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ป gets all the support he deserves. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿซ‚
