Madame Satoshi and the Whitepaper Inspired by the work of Claude Monet and the painting "Woman with a Parasol - Madame Monet and Her Son", a reinterpretation with reference to the relationship between Bitcoin and current financial system.

I started drawing with ballpoint pens some time ago and have been making small drawings for a year now. This time I wanted to create a large work of art, an impressive drawing buy using only black ballpoint pens. My idea was to give Claude Monet's impressionistic work a different, more serious tone. My interpretation of his work is intended to show the seriousness of the situation and how corrupt and hopeless our financial system is. In my interpretation of the artwork, the sunny meadow landscape has been replaced by a swamp, with a bleak, lifeless wasteland in the background. I have replaced the bright blue sky with an reminiscent of a storm.

Madame Satoshi is holding a protective umbrella that represents the positive characteristics of Bitcoin. She is holding a letter in her hand that is actually the Bitcoin whitepaper. It looks as if she has read a farewell letter, the farewell letter of the current financial system. She is ready for the future. That's what her determined, deeply touched expression says. On her hip, she holds a book with the Bitcoin symbol on it. It is perhaps her diary, perhaps a guide. In the background you can find the BIS tower (Bank for International Settlements).

I live in Basel and see the building every day. Sometimes I wonder what the people on the high floors above us think about Bitcoin. It's a self-declared elite that goes in and out of there. Bitcoin is the tool to break up this self-crowning. In my artwork, the BIS tower is being caught up in the storm. The perfect storm called Bitcoin.
