Iโ€™m Maria, the artist behind MaVi LAB in Venice, Italy. I paint quiet, contemporary botanicals ๐ŸŒธ: cropped branches, small blossoms, and kintsugi-like gold seams. balanced with generous negative space. The aim is simple: pieces that feel calm, modern, and luminous in everyday interiors.ใ€€ I am happy to join NOSTR for the first time :) I have a shop where I only accept lightning payments โ†’ https://mavilab.art

I still remember the smell of those first tempera paints I used as a boy, learning to paint on Fabriano paper.

Oil painting, back then, felt unreachable. Intimidating.

Even art school didn't teach me. It was all exercises: straight lines, proportions, copying plaster casts, little squares painted in watercolor or acrylic with perfect color gradations.

There was little space for imagination. I had to do exactly what the teachers said, no questions. Good grades, or the money my parents paid was wasted. They didn't trust my abilities anyway.

For my family, knowing how to draw landscapes or human figures was never considered real work. Even after I finished school, no one offered me a chance to express my art.

I had to find a job. Bring money home.

There was no time to learn oil painting properly. And no one ever taught me.

So I taught myself. With the first money I earned from a job I never liked, I bought canvases and paints. In brief moments of rest, I started experimenting.

That was over thirty years ago.

Today, I'm no longer afraid of oil painting. And even though my family still shows no interest or recognition of my abilities, through sheer willpower I've carved out a small piece of recognition here on Nostr.

The only place where my art is loved and appreciated.

The only place that's allowed me to sell my paintings around the world.

From the United States to New Zealand. From Canada to Sweden. From France to Madeira.

Everywhere, there are people who believed in me.

And some still support me.

Thank you. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿซ‚๐ŸŽจ

I recently purchased a piece of art from nostr:npub1y44g2f0ck3060dllrqxtfvynmpsae8qq79x9zl02x5fqfxadrzts67gama after discovering a beautiful painting in her shop.

Communication with Mavi was exceptionally kind and smooth, the delivery was super fast, and she even included a special Christmas note. ๐Ÿ’œ

And of course, I paid in sats, since Mavi runs her shop Lightning-only. โšก๏ธ

Because the artwork is a Christmas gift - and itโ€™s beautifully wrapped (also by Mavi) - Iโ€™ll post a photo of it after the holidays. ๐ŸŽ„

Check out Maviโ€™s collection:

It makes me so happy to read your words, thank you truly from the bottom of my heart. Iโ€™m thrilled to know everything arrived safely and that you enjoyed the experience ๐Ÿ˜

Itโ€™s always such a joy to prepare something knowing it will end up in the hands of someone who appreciates it so much.

I canโ€™t wait to see the photo after the holidays. And thank you for the sats as well ๐Ÿ’œโšก๏ธ

Reflections of light, Between gold and azure, the gentle breath of rebirth

This painting was born from my love for Japan. I imagined it as a walk through a garden of sakura on a moonlit night, where the reflections give the small flowers delicate shades of blue. The golden branches intertwine lightly, like thoughts searching for breath, while the blossoms, fragile and radiant, evoke the fleeting beauty of cherry trees in bloom. Every brushstroke is a suspension between earth and sky, between stillness and the longing for rebirth. A moment of balance that I seek, and rediscover, through painting.

๐ŸŽจ The quiet of the poppies, Thin whispers on the canvas. Acrylic in relief

I painted these poppies as if they were thoughts rising upward, delicate and a little shy. The essential lines help me express their lightness, while the soft background creates that sense of calm I feel when I paint. Itโ€™s a piece born to bring a bit of breath, quiet, and a small poetic touch to whoever looks at it.

๐ŸŽจ The Quiet of Spring, Flowering branches suspended in a deep sky

This painting tells the story of the simplicity of a blossoming branch, where small white flowers seem to dance against the deep blue of the sky. It captures that moment of peace that comes when nature slowly awakens. A small hymn to calm and to the beauty of simple things.

๐ŸŽจ Wisteria Among the Branches, Suspended flowers in silence 3D textured acrylic on canvas

This painting was born from the inspiration of a work I saw some time ago and instantly fell in love with. Against a deep black background, golden branches intertwine while the wisteria cascades with natural grace. The raised golden surfaces capture the light, creating an effect of movement and depth, as if the painting itself were breathing. In this silence of shapes and reflections, I sought a balance between elegance and stillness, where the grace of simplicity and the strength of calm come together.

It happens to me too, and every time it leaves a bit of a bitter taste. I realize, with some sadness, that weโ€™re losing our connection with nature more and more in all its forms. And yet nature, with its colors and endless shades, still knows how to give us incredible emotions.
