Hello fellow aliens, my name is Barabeke, I am an Italian artist active in the cryptoart scene.
As many of you I have a feeling of "not belonging" in this hysterical hypercommercial world. Art for me is not just a happy refuge but also an attempt to transform the world by blowing the wind of change and inspire new times. How? For example with this, my new project 🙂
I won't get too much into details, I'd like to keep this introduction short and sweet.
I have been around, operating online only (or almost) since 2006, mostly doing "for art's sake", as a natural urge. I have only recently started to look into exhibiting and selling.
Most of my visual works consist in blending ordinary pictures I take with my iPhone in wild ways, without any hand drawing involved, creating with reality as we see it a new reality of psychic and archetypal nature. The essence of my craft can be grasped in my transmutations series, here is an example (available on knownorigin.io)
My Mona Lisa is also a transmutation. I have already used her on a cool installation in collaboration with El Geko, also a member of Alien Art Hive. Here you can see a video of it.
Visual art is just part of my craft. My three revelations are for me fundamental artistic acts which stand at the roots of my creativity as they are (at least in part) the source of my inspiration.
I am also a "very late beat poet", as I like to define myself. My poetry is mostly in Italian but my Ode to Iphone, defined as "a psychedelic zoo of digital antics", is available in English.
Last but not least I am also an intuitive healer. I have been trained in qi gong, reiki, shamanism, hypnotherapy (including past life regression and spirit release) and NLP, and had the luck to have some truly remarkable teachers. I also do tarot reading in the style of Jodorowsky, but I do none of these things as a profession.
I used to define myself as "obscure Italian artist", but the times are changing and are calling me to manifest more brightly. They are calling me to mingle, and to pursue luck in the world of art. My newborn son made me ask myself how I would like him to remember his dad. The answer was "as an artist".
Thank you for having me in your beautiful community, one of the few in the crypto art scene that is not mostly about commerce/selling. I like "different" people like you! 😊
Feel free to connect and get in touch, I am mostly active on twitter nowadays but I am loving Hive. It's so hard to keep up with all this innovation sprouting, but so exciting at the same time!

Thanks a lot James for the welcome and for the very useful introduction to hive!
Welcome aboard the Hive, and I'm glad to see your great artwork make it here! It looks amazing, and trippy... But in the best ways possible. It says that your monolith is 3-metres tall, but your body isn't actually 3m tall, is it? I'd hesitate to meet you in person then, for fears that it'll make me feel... Inadequate 😆!
Thank you Zack! I am quite tall, but not as much! 😊 In that image the size of the monolith in perspective is guesswork, if I manage to build a real one I'll make sure it's 3 mts tall! 🙂
A 3-foot tall monolith is just the perfect height! Tall enough to make the puny humans feel small, but not too high-up that it's overpowering. Just right 👌
welcome on board ... hive is just a place for everybody to have fun
Welcome to hive! hope you like it :D
