Nostr taught me a simple, hard lesson:
self-sovereignty is not an ideal, it’s a necessity.
For an artist, it means this:
if you don’t control your spaces, your audience, your work, you’re just renting your future.
Services that spoon-feed you look convenient, but they make you dependent.
And dependency always comes with a bill.
Rules change, platforms disappear, you get silenced — and you’re left standing still, even if you did everything right.
Being self-sovereign is harder, less comforting.
But it’s the only way to build something that doesn’t collapse when someone else decides to turn off the lights.

IL RISVEGLIO, Oil on board canvas
✓ ORIGINAL oil painting (WITHOUT FRAME)
✓ Size: 30x40 cm
✓ Materials: Oil on board canvas
✓ Completed July 18, 2023
There’s a moment, just before the day takes over, when the world holds its breath.
The shadows haven’t yet faded, the light hasn’t yet won — everything is suspended, fragile, new.
IL RISVEGLIO doesn’t depict a sunrise, but that quiet heartbeat when time realizes it is alive.

There's a map in my head now.
United States. New Zealand. Canada. Sweden. France. Germany. Madeira.
Places where my paintings live.
People I've never met, waking up to something I made.
That still feels unreal.
And every month, someone new joins that map.
Someone told me once:
"Your painting reminds me to breathe."
Not "it's beautiful."
Not "I like the colors."
"It reminds me to breathe."
That's when I knew I was doing something right.
Art doesn't need to be understood.
It needs to be felt.
Saturday mornings are sacred for me.
Coffee. Studio. Silence.
No clients. No deadlines. No graphic design work.
Just me and the canvas.
This is when the best paintings happen.
Not because I have more time.
But because I have more space.
"Want to see everything I've painted?"
The full archive is here:
Now it explodes with color.
Every painting here passed the test: I had to be willing to live with it before selling it.
Some stayed. Some found their homes around the world.
The walls keeps growing.

Barrow, Alaska.
This was the last sunset before winter.
The sun won't rise again until January 22, 2026.
Almost two months of darkness.
Imagine watching this sky knowing: This is it.
The last light for months.
No gradual fading.
No "see you tomorrow."
Just this explosion of pink and blue—
And then nothing.

Merry xmas!
**The best gifts aren't bought in a rush.**
A painting is something someone will live with.
Something that stops them, calms them, brings them back to themselves.
If that's what you want to give—
Now is the time.
**Oil paint moves slowly.**
It doesn't dry in minutes like acrylic.
It gives you time to think. To adjust. To breathe.
Every layer is a conversation with the one beneath it.
That slowness is why I love it.
You can't rush oil.
And you can't rush silence.
