Teaching people how to draw has been fascinating, I'm amazed of what practice and will can make in a few sessions 🥹 You really can learn anything you put your mind into!

A new day, a new opportunity to paint 😌

In a world full of pictures, flooded with images that you never go back to look... choose to preserve memories with a painting.

Painting in my workshop... it's been a while since I painted completely alone. I was a bit anxious about it, but turned out so fine! I enjoyed this session so much. I'm practicing a specific method here: I work covering everything that is not skin or hair first. The idea is to work everything to a certain level, no need for details. Then I'll start working on the skin. Colors work in context, so this logic helps to build the faces with way more accurate color shades. We'll see how it goes!

Satoshi’s first gift was creating Bitcoin. The second was staying anonymous. The third was disappearing. El Regalo stands in that lineage: a cloaked figure with no face and no crown, offering a heart made visible. The cube in its hands beats with the rhythm of real blocks, a reminder that there is at least one system on this planet that refuses to counterfeit your time. This first edition is limited to 21 pieces. Some already found their homes. Others are still waiting for the right rooms, the right people, the right blocks. If you feel called to live with this rhythm, reach out by DM to ask about the remaining editions. @Rebel Money #ElRegalo #bitcoinart #proofofwork

This is El Regalo — The Gift. A work about time, created by @Rebel Money & me. Time was the first gift. Bitcoin was the way to protect it. El Regalo is how you see it. We built this piece around a simple question: What does it look like when time refuses to be faked? The world we live in runs on extraction. Your hours. Your focus. Your future. Money can be created from nothing. The time you traded for it cannot. Bitcoin introduced a different rule set. Blocks arrive only when work has truly been done. No ruler. No schedule. No permission. Just energy turned into truth. El Regalo takes that invisible rhythm and pulls it into the room. A cloaked, anonymous Satoshi stands without face or crown, offering a cube like a heart held out to the world. Inside, a light that never fully sleeps: a soft heartbeat that tightens as a new block approaches, then bursts into color when it finally lands. You don’t choose the moment. You only choose whether you pay attention. For us, this is not “Bitcoin decor.” It is a physical reminder that your time is finite, and that there is at least one system on Earth that refuses to counterfeit it. El Regalo is a collaboration between me and Rebel Money, now quietly pulsing in @FractalEncrypt ´s gallery at @BTC Prague . Edition 1/21 is live for bidding: 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

If something can be scheduled, can it still be meaningful? If something can be printed endlessly, can it still store your life? Time can’t be printed #ElRegalo @Rebel Money

What if the most important moments are the ones no one controls? Moments that belong to no authority, no system, no issuer. The unseen made visible #ElRegalo @Rebel Money

If a moment cannot be predicted… does it become more valuable? The things you can’t control are often the only things you can trust. Time answers to no one #ElRegalo #Soon @Rebel Money

Your time is constantly being measured. Tracked. Optimized. Sold. And your money? Printed. Expanded. Devalued. Same game. Time is stolen. Take it back #ElRegalo

If time is your most valuable asset, why is it the easiest thing to lose? Because it’s hidden inside everything— especially the money you trust. Own your time #ElRegalo

What if not all time moved the same way? What if some of it could be stretched, diluted… while other moments stayed absolute? A quiet pulse of the invisible #ElRegalo #Soon @Rebel Money

You know the exact price of things. Do you know the cost of your attention? What you call “money” is stored time. What happens when it’s quietly diluted? Don’t trade life for noise. #ElRegalo

Yes, I’m working on something new. And yes… it’s worth seeing first.

When did someone else last set the rhythm of your day? Consider who profits when your minutes are spent. #ElRegalo #ComingSoon @Rebel Money

I'm trying out something that connects directly with my first Bitcoin related works... I have no idea if it's going work, the good thing is that I love to feel challenged... no room for boredom 🤪
