Experiencing something beautiful without feeling the need to show it off makes it even more wonderful.

Just over a year ago, I compiled this personal list of artists registered here on Nostr. Almost half of them haven’t posted anything new for a very long time and, as a result, have disappeared. How do you explain that? #asknostr View quoted note →

I came across this piece by Max White and just had to give it a go. This is a study of the original, to understand how light plays on the water. Work in progress. Credit: @MaxWhiteartist https://imginn.com/p/DbxZGhDFz-E/

Highly recommended TV series. A must-see.

Furious on Bingers

A determined FBI agent delves into a female killer's history while partnering with a seasoned investigator to track her down.

I don't know if those who've been following me for a while have noticed that since January of this year, sales of my paintings have stopped. I have. My name is Carlo, I'm 56, I'm an Italian painter. I used to work only as a graphic designer, now I dedicate much of my time to painting. I built my reputation on Nostr over recent years, selling works to buyers worldwide without ever having issues. I always worked with transparency and efficiency: Bitcoin payments, well-protected packaging with tracked shipments, no intermediaries, direct communication with updates at every stage. But the new audience arriving today doesn't know this. And they're right to be wary. Bitcoin doesn't offer automatic protections like Amazon. With direct payment, if something goes wrong, you have to trust that I'll resolve the problem. It's a real risk, which I understand better than most because I take it too every time I buy something directly in Bitcoin. Here's the truth: I don't want to convince anyone. If you follow me and feel I can be trusted, good. Otherwise, it's fine too, I understand. Some people chose to trust and I thank them infinitely. Read in these posts what they say, their satisfaction and how the paintings arrived:

The most important thing is the reputation I have here and that you know who I am. I've been here for years. I keep painting every day. And the fact this board of satisfied buyer posts exists means many others already tried. Thank you for your attention. 🙏🫂🎨

Non so se qualcuno che mi segue da tanto si sia accorto che da Gennaio di quest'anno le vendite dei miei dipinti si sono fermate. Io ovviamente sì. Mi chiamo Carlo, ho 56 anni, sono un pittore italiano. Prima lavoravo solo come graphic designer, ora dedico gran parte del mio tempo alla pittura. Ho costruito la mia reputazione su Nostr negli ultimi anni, vendendo opere ad acquirenti in tutto il mondo senza mai avere problemi. Ho sempre lavorato con trasparenza ed efficienza: pagamenti in Bitcoin, confezioni ben protette con spedizioni tracciate, niente intermediari, comunicazione diretta con aggiornamenti in ogni fase. Ma il nuovo pubblico che arriva oggi non lo sa. E hanno ragione a esserne diffidenti. Bitcoin non offre protezioni automatiche come Amazon. Col pagamento diretto, se qualcosa va storto, dovete fidarvi che io risolva il problema. È un rischio reale, che io capisco meglio di chiunque altro perché lo prendo anch'io ogni volta che acquisto qualcosa direttamente in Bitcoin. Questa è la verità: non voglio convincere nessuno. Se mi seguite e sentite che posso essere affidabile, bene. In caso contrario va bene ugualmente, vi capisco. Alcune persone hanno scelto di fidarsi e le ringrazio infinitamente. Leggete in questi post cosa dicono, la loro soddisfazione e come sono arrivati i dipinti:

La cosa più importante è la reputazione che ho qui e che sappiate chi sono. Sono qui da anni. Continuo a dipingere ogni giorno. E il fatto che questa bacheca di post di acquirenti soddisfatti esista significa che molti altri ci hanno già provato. Grazie per l'attenzione. 🙏🫂🎨

PRIMROSE 40x30cm, oil on board - June, 2026 A light that exists before words. It doesn't illuminate things — it wraps them, softens them, brings them back to something very old. The boat still on the water seems suspended, as if time had stopped along with the light. Painting this subject made me feel the need to meditate. A sought simplicity, where every element has its weight and nothing is unnecessary. Available here 👇
