Cierce (1998) – A hybrid artifact. 🖥️🎨
Born on a Pentium II using early digital tools, this piece from my Renaissance Series represents the bridge between digital memory and tactile devotion. Originally composed in Adobe/PSP and hand-translated into pastel on a 120x90cm wood panel.
Named after my daughter, it’s a serene reflection of my pioneering process from the late 90s.
Proud to share this journey with the #Base community.

Digital Archaeology: 27 Years of Provenance 🏛️🩸
Bringing 'The Woman Will Cry Blood' (1998) to @base isn't just a mint; it's an archival recovery.
🕰️ 1998: Created on a Pentium II (75.7 kB). 🌐 2004: Surpassed 100k visitors (Verified via Wayback Machine). 📜 2004: Featured in national press as a visual protest against geopolitical violence. 🎨 2026: Secured on-chain with a physical 1/10 hand-colored pastel included for the collector.
From a fragile G:\ drive to a permanent legacy. I’d love for the curators of history to see this journey.

"Following my conversation with @marlo about long digital journeys... 🏛️✨
Here is the evolution of the 'Dutch Angel'. Left: 2002, born on a Pentium II / Windows 95. 💾 Right: 2025, reimagined through a modernist lens for the blockchain. 🔵
23 years of digital soul, finally finding permanence on @base. It’s not just a file; it’s a lifetime of pixels. 🧘🎨

"Patience is a digital craft. 🏛️✨
Following a great conversation with @marlo about long journeys—here is a glimpse into 1998. Creating 'Mondrian's Window' on a Pentium II wasn't just about pixels; it was about finding structure in the early web's chaos.
27 years from dial-up to @base. Some art just needs time to find its permanent home. 💾🔵

new heart
oil painting on canvas, covered with over 10,000 individually hand-stitched glass miyuki beads
new heart is about innocence, trauma, and self-reclamation. generally, my work focuses viscerally on a sole desired outcome or state, but with almost 150 hours in creating this piece, it was a far slower and more personal process
every artwork is treated like a magic spell—a conjuring of more of what I want to feel and to see in this world. I meditate to achieve the desired state and maintain it while expressing the vision that comes through. for new heart, I knew this would be more of a challenge. transcending enough trauma to be able to feel the intended state—innocent, open-hearted, and light—is not something I could do in one session of meditation. even with more time, it felt like it might be impossible, but I needed to try
the beads are a representation of consciousness, of bringing things into the light to be fully seen—and there was much to see and to feel as I went along. while stitching each bead onto this painting, I felt like I was slowly stitching together a long-neglected wound. though physically complete, this artwork remains a work in progress until I can embody it. still, it serves as a reminder of the sublime beauty in healing, in opening, in letting go
to create this piece, the coloured gradient was applied to the canvas first, and approximately 10,400 translucent white glass beads were then individually stitched into it, creating a layer that feels much like ice, snow, or frost. there’s a beautiful purity to it, and coldness
should i make more of these?

Loved this Wayne Thiebaud exhibit at the Courtauld Gallery in London last week.
The vibrancy of the colours and the delicious thickness of the oil paint strokes creates an incredibly appealing and captivating effect.
