#### *Hello my dear Steemians and Art Fans,* * *You probably noticed that these days I am regular posting and may wonder why? There is no big secret behind except the fact that I am on Holiday and while on and off hiding indoor from the heat (by the way it is going to be +34 today with no clouds) I am trying to catch up on the other stuff like keeping an eye on Cryptocurrencies, sharing our thoughts about what is happening around and what do we think in our posts on Steem blockchain and evenings to do some painting.* *The same time I was thinking about the good time on Steem blockchain when previously Art was really good supported by many projects and because Steem is our cryptocurrency, there were many projects like @creativecrypto and @sndbox who promoted Art to create the combination of Crypto and Art where I often took places too.* *Looking through my CryptoArt I thought to do a post about Cryptocurrencies as they are having another Peak and accompany them with my CyptoArt collection.* * *** ***Welcome to @stef1 Crypto Gallery.*** *** *BITCOIN* *I will start with one of my first work dedicated to Cryptocurrency and of course it was Bitcoin. That time there were a lot of chats about what is Bitcoin and even my mother approached me with such question, thinking about investing her saving into it. Therefore I have created this work and combined my favourite topic -Sails with the strongest and oldest Crypto -Bitcoin and called it:* ![Bitcoing2.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbtzq9wb9aDWN33YUDLP5GZ3Ury39nG8fr8NJcjNDWrEu/Bitcoing2.jpg) *Acrylic Cryptoart "Bitcoin: ...Never stop dreaming..." by @Stef1* *** ***There were some more Bitcoin motifs and here they are.*** *** ![Bitcoin1.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPVwgjqF7nFSfC2ZUxKYPi6tX7S1fJm3JvPCLDa5nMkv2/Bitcoin1.jpg) *Acrylic Cryptoart: "Bitcoin for ice cream" by @Stef1* * *"Melting Bitcoin" was the work that I was inspired by Salvador Dali, he was a prominent Spanish surrealist born in Figueres, Catalonia, Spain. I love his works as they are really unique, to create them one has to have great fantasy and great skills. My favorite one is “The melting watch”, I saw it when I was a child and that time I could not understand why the watch is so soft and bent.* ![Bitcoin.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUDZwep5bmk1KQd7xzxeFAu4dqn6v6j9WfNKjEA2ZmT3A/Bitcoin.jpg) *Oil Pastel Cryptoart: “Melting Bitcoin” by @Stef1* ![Trenner groß.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQVjUTweTEM2sUDbVAZT8fnim9trUp5cQ474QMYJC7fAe/Trenner%20gro%C3%9F.png) *** *NEO* *** *While talking about Dali I wanted to present you my other work that was also inspired by Dali and that I created for @sndbox contest about the Cryptocurrency NEO* *Looking at the logo of NEO I immediately thought about Stonehenge, the prehistoric monument and of course Dali and his work from 1933 Archeological Reminiscence of Millet's Angelus.* *I love it because it is a bit different from his other works, it contains in my opinion the human figures as an ancient monuments, in his original work you also see little figures of human at the bottom of those monuments, that makes them gigantic. When I saw then first time as a child I always was thinking how those monuments might look when you are at feet of them.* ![Neo.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYqNd1nCD2Lg6AKSDXgkrfw9BtdGH9ur6etFzUzD1z5M4/Neo.jpg) *Acrylic Cryptoart "Dali meets NEO" by @Stef1* ![Trenner groß.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQVjUTweTEM2sUDbVAZT8fnim9trUp5cQ474QMYJC7fAe/Trenner%20gro%C3%9F.png) *** *ETHEREUM* *** *The next painting was inspired by another well known Artist-Pablo Picasso* *What I love the most in Picasso's painting is the theme cats, therefore I wanted to use it for my Cryptoart. It was not difficult to find the crypto that would be suitable for his style it is Ethereum.* *Two great people Dali and Picasso have two different styles, if Dali has smooth lines, no sharp corners, soft color that flowing one into another. Picasso has sharp angles and corners, he is like a mathematic you can recognize many geometric figures, that not following the rule of biology or nature but mathematic. It is like Water and Fire, people can not ignore them they either love them or hate them and this is the feature of genies.* ![etherium1.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSZNJK4gnmVKYmdWdun6SGd75A6ExEJzeMS6Ak3msYRhF/etherium1.jpg) *Acrylic Cryptoart “Ethereum Cat” by @Stef1* *Another inspiration to create CryptoArt for Ethereum was the the topic of Artificial Intellegence, love both AI and Ethereum, especially now when it goes up.* ![Etherium.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeWfMhNTHjaokiuYW1DQsAMknjtbV5xrsoKRs2Hk1GJmQ/Etherium.jpg) *Acrylic Cryptoart "AI-Ethereum" by @Stef1* ![Trenner groß.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQVjUTweTEM2sUDbVAZT8fnim9trUp5cQ474QMYJC7fAe/Trenner%20gro%C3%9F.png) *** *RIPPLE* *** *While talking about my favourite Artists I can't miss Vincent Willem van Gogh, who was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art. I love his works because I love impressionism, the colors of van Gogh are impressive and my favorite one is a “Starry Night”, that inspired me to create my "Ripple Night"* *So, what is Ripple, exactly? Ripple is both a payment network (RippleNet) and a cryptocurrency (Ripple XRP) created in 2012. RippleNet connects banks and other big institutions and allows them to transfer money and other assets through the network. All transactions are recorded on the decentralized XRP Ledger.* ![RIpple.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZJb4uairzTt4anwJQioKo3ygbWWXa4p23NhqFf3iwSDU/RIpple.jpg) *Acrylic Cryptoart: “Ripple Night” by @Stef1* ![Trenner groß.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQVjUTweTEM2sUDbVAZT8fnim9trUp5cQ474QMYJC7fAe/Trenner%20gro%C3%9F.png) *** *DASH* *** *Somehow looking back I saw that my two CryptoArts for DASH I associated with women, is it coincidence? Or is it because people say "DASH, digital cash" and thinking about cash I always think about shopping and spending money like every women, that is why my hubby is not a fan of my shopping tours.* *Dash (formerly known as Darkcoin and XCoin) is an open source peer-to-peer cryptocurrency and it was launched in January 2014 by creator and lead developer Evan Duffield. On top of Bitcoin's feature set, it currently offers instant transactions private transactions and operates a self-governing and self-funding model that enables the Dash network to pay individuals and businesses to perform work that adds value to the network. Dash's decentralised governance and budgeting system makes it a decentralised autonomous organisation (DAO).
