I remember it well.
The first zap I received for a painting was 210 sats.
It wasn't the price I was asking.
It was a gesture.
Someone, on the other side of the world, had seen something that spoke to them.
I didn't sell that painting, but I understood something:
The value of art isn't in the price.
It's in the moment someone stops, looks, and feels something move inside.
Everything else β sales, collections, exhibitions β is just consequence.

My home is full of paintings. Everywhere.
Some have been in my studio for months.
Others for a year, or two, or more.
I donβt sell them because theyβre not meant for anyone yet.
I keep them because they havenβt found their person yet.
Art isnβt a product on a shelf.
Itβs a conversation waiting to begin.
Thereβs one painting I look at every morning.
I know that someone, somewhere, is waiting for exactly that sky, that light.
They wonβt find it by searching βart to buy.β
Theyβll find it when they stop and think: βI know this.β
All I can do is wait for that moment to arrive.
And when it does, itβs not a sale.
Itβs a recognition.

THE WAITING THUNDER
The silent tension. The suspended breath of what is about to arrive.
The second of SILENCE AMONG THE CLOUDS.
Not the thunder itself β but the waiting. The moment before. When the air holds everything and releases nothing.
Sometimes silence isn't the absence of sound. It's the presence of what hasn't happened yet.

SILENC...
Today, protective varnish on SILENCE AMONG THE FLOWERS.
This is the moment I wait for β when the colors wake up. The varnish doesn't add anything. It just reveals what was already there, hidden under the matte surface.
Blues become deeper. Reds pulse. Yellows glow.
These four have been drying for three weeks since I finished them in late September. Now they're sealed, protected, ready.
SILENCE AMONG THE FLOWERS β the second movement of the larger project.
Four paintings about fragility. About bloom and fade. About the silence held inside petals before they fall.
20Γ20cm each, oil on cradled wood panel.
Available as a complete quartet.

SILENC...
Someone asked me yesterday: βWhen did you become a painter?β
I said: βApril 2022 β I only lost thirty years from when I already was.β
Sometimes we donβt become. We return.
View quoted note β
Let me tell you something you may not know: I gave up painting for almost thirty years and only recently picked up my brushes again.
Was April 2022 when I start again. I painted a portrait of my wife.
I told myself: "If this works, I'll return to painting. If not, I'll walk away forever."
It wasn't perfect. But it was enough.
For years I'd worked as a graphic designer. I'd let art fade β the way you let something precious die: without a reason.
But art didn't abandon me. It waited.
That portrait reopened a door. And since then, I haven't stopped.
Sometimes you don't need a grand moment. You just need to decide to try one more time.
