Welcome back to the Tezos Tuesday Community Showcase! Each week, I ask the Tezos art community on Twitter to submit their latest piece of art that has been minted on the Tezos blockchain.

I pick my favorite 25 to feature (a daunting task), and I explain why I chose each piece. 

If you like a particular image, clicking on it will lead you back to the artist's Tweet where you can usually find a link to collect it as an NFT.

Please share this article, and follow all of the included artists on Twitter. It is up to all of us to create the web3 space we want to see. 

This post represents my personal opinions and is NOT financial advice.

"Karri Sunrise" is a fantastic example of intentional camera blur. The motion of this photograph recreates the magical feel of an abstract painting. 

This image is an explosion of activity and color while somehow maintaining a sense of peace. I could stare at it all day long without ever running out of new details to study. 

I am in love with the complicated lines of this piece. It reminds me of honey, of DNA, of tree roots, and cracked earth. This piece makes me feel a connection between humans, nature, and the infinitesimally small world of the molecules that create it all. 

"Cuarto" is a delightful study in contrasts. A digital art piece that draws on ancient art traditions. Blues competing with oranges, and green competing with yellow make this piece jump off the screen and demand attention. 

Gabriel's use of a vintage film feel for this image reminds me that the happiness brought by enjoying the simple pleasures of nature is a gift that transcends all generations of humanity. 

Zman's use of glitch art layered over photography illustrates the feeling of wanting to hold on to a memory while knowing that you need to let go of the power that it has over you. 

I love the animation, the darkness, and the foreboding presence of the crow in this wonderfully macabre gif.

"Delusion" is absolutely stunning in its minimalist simplicity. 

I am inspired by the mixture of styles, artforms, and languages that Marta used to create this unique piece. 

"Harmony" expresses so much feeling without much facial expression. I love the intricate details of the woman's hair and dress while the details of her face have been intentionally erased. 

"At the Mercy of Time" is a dramatic piece that stopped me in my tracks. How often, I have felt this sense of being trapped within the context of time. 

"Vanishing Hippopotamus" is a wonderful acrylic painting. Mad Mushroom managed to create so much depth, detail, and expression while only using shades of gray. 

Anastasia's compellingly mysterious piece draws the viewer in. Each layer uses its own distinct art style to add a hint of intrigue to the story of the image. 

"Absolute Truth" has me questioning reality. How do we know that our plane of existence is the only one? How do we know that are experiences are even real? 

"Into the Wild" is the kind of image that makes me want to throw my camera into a backpack and hop on a plane. The distant mountains, the reflection of the water, and the women's moment of connection with the flamingos makes me yearn to experience this gorgeous place. 

The musical quality of elegance creates a sense of possibilities. What can we create when we combine the powers of music and visual arts?

Sally's powerful photography collection explores the loneliness of power and the way our beliefs fundamentally change with life experiences. 

Saeed's photograph of calcium carbonate water from a travertine spring looks like a stunning abstract painting. The movement of the colors through the piece create a sense of peaceful flow. 

This image is delightful. The scene is alive with activity. Every time, I contemplate this picture, I find some new detail to focus on.  

Mehmet's macro photography is simply divine. Every time I see a new image, I am blown away by his ability to capture such sharp detail with the smallest of nature's creatures. 

Masha captured a romantic sense of motion and a joy of living life in the blur of the moment with this wonderful image. 

I love the magical realism in this piece. Irina is a woman, an elf, a peacock, and a rolling hill of wildflowers all at once. She encompasses the beauty of humanity, nature, and magic. 

Dikun's piece jumped out to me because it fired up my imagination. I was drawn into the scene, imagining myself enjoying a quick lunch before heading off on a grand adventure. 

Aida's gorgeous black and white photography expresss the raw vulnerability of being human. We are all born, naked and helpless into the world, and while we gain resources, knowledge, and confidence, we never really lose that vulnerability. 

I am a huge fan of Evveart's work. Her digital illustrations celebrate the depth of the female experience using only colors and linework. I am always thrilled when I am able to collect another one of her brilliant pieces.
