My Statement like Artist.

Through my work, I seek to capture the ephemeral nature of human experience, translating fleeting moments and raw emotions into visual poetry on canvas. My practice is driven by an unwavering devotion to exploring the delicate interplay between light, movement, and feeling.

Working primarily in oils, I embrace the spontaneity of rapid, gestural brushwork that allows me to seize the essence of a moment before it dissipates. This intuitive approach mirrors the way we process emotions and memories – sometimes clear and vivid, other times hazy and dreamlike. Each stroke carries the energy of the instant it was created, preserving not just the visual elements of a scene, but also its emotional resonance.

Love, in its most expansive definition, guides my artistic practice. It manifests in my dedication to observing the subtle nuances of daily life, in my relationship with the materials, and in my desire to connect with viewers through shared emotional experiences. I find profound beauty in the ordinary – the way morning light filters through leaves, the subtle shift of expressions during intimate conversations, or the dance of shadows across urban landscapes.

My dynamic brushwork creates a vibrant surface texture that invites viewers to engage with the work both from a distance and up close, revealing different layers of detail and meaning. This duality reflects the complexity of human perception and memory, where impressions can be simultaneously bold and subtle, immediate and lasting.

I believe that art has the power to transcend language and cultural barriers by speaking directly to our shared human experience. Through my work, I strive to create spaces where viewers can recognize their own emotions and memories, finding personal meaning within the universal themes I explore.

Each painting becomes a testament to the beauty of impermanence, celebrating those precious moments that shape our lives while acknowledging their transient nature. In this way, my work serves as both a celebration of life's fleeting beauty and a meditation on the enduring power of love and memory.

Have you stopped your podcasts? Nostrrrrrrrrr

Still in the lap of the gods. April/may we will have a better idea. But it's a long time till November, anything could happen.

Ah, after 2 years of drought this is a beautiful sight. Nature is never beat, and we could do well to adapt as well to change so we can re-emerge stronger than ever.

Can't afford pesticides around here.

Most locals are pretty hands off for super nasty treatments but eco copper sulphate is used . Eco, Jesus!

They aren't shy with synthetic fertiliser when not sourcing local manure but other than that this area has very good olive oil.

Nothing out of a packet goes on our trees. They are healthy enough living with groundcover and the chippings from pruning time. Beyond eco, but without the damned certificate from the eco mafia you can't sell eco or bio labelled olive oil.

Funnily enough I couldn't even sell my olive oil yesterday. They thought 8€ a litre was too much. Ho ho, let them eat euros then!

Sorry to break your bubble but all IS lost in the UK, as that is not extra virgin olive oil.

The label says so!

it's second press olive oil cut with a bit of extra virgen first cold press.

EVOO would be plastered all over the label if it were so,, but it isn't.

Cold press is also a minefield as it includes from room temperature mid 20's, the average bona fide temp in the better mills, up to 60c.

Higher the temperature the higher the yield. It's the first question of the season when you look for places to press.

I believe the mills do between 3 and 5 pressings. Cold press, a second hotter pressing IE mostly your oil - and then various lantern oils.

Just have to buy direct from growers and not from a supermarket, at least not in a supermarket outside olive country.

Do I get a prize for never going on ticktock? I hear it is very good at what it does, which is probably why it is disliked by those invested in the competition. Nostr social media of course is in a league of its own.

The Guardian and Gates, a more warped combination of so-say reasonable influencers would be hard to find.

His foundation are in the Guardian rather a lot.

The journalists there are losing their way as much as the entities they criticise.

And Gates a philanthropic nice guy. He's just like all the pretender psycho billionaires. Follow what he does not what he says.

¿Alguien tiene experiencia con #xapobank? Estoy buscando un banco pro Bitcoin para autonomos en #España. Su servicio al cliente hasta ahora es fantástico. Envié un montón de preguntas específicas y casos de uso un domingo y el lunes a las 11 a.m. recibí una respuesta personalizada con cada pregunta respondida en detalle. Tal vez sea inteligencia artificial, pero funcionó.

Lo que no pueden confirmar sin embargo, es cómo los trata Hacienda. Es decir, están regulados en #España, pero ¿hay alguien que tenga una cuenta bancaria de autónomo con Xapo?

Is there a tactic to employ a 3rd party to run a business' Nostr accounts without giving unfettered access to the kingdom? #asknostr because I'm losing so much time trying to figure stuff out and it's sucking the fun out of creating content for Nostr.

Sort out sleep else you will go quietly mad.

If it helps...

opening my bedroom door stopped sleep apnea immediately. Who knew Uninterrupted breathing meant I stopped waking up through the night, obviously.

Not so obvious, all the waking up that I put down to needing to pee, typical sign of getting old.. was nothing of the sort. It was psychosomatic, joining dots that weren't there.

Back to young man 8 hour nights, I hardly ever wake up for a nighttime bathroom visit since working it out, by luck of course. Just need to work on waking up with the libido of a young man again :)

Need help, spent one hour trying to set up a wallet on #fountain and add new logo to #wavlake on android phone. Achieving nothing.

#asknostr

Fountain verification login links to email end in never ending loop unable to add to fountain, and wavlake image upload crashes Firefox.

Nostr compatibility has a long way to go if these are the flagship apps. My sosay v4v podcast is going nowhere at this rate.

#nature at its finest. Let's hear it for the #trees

I'm still here so it must have been a really bad post :)
