John Pitre's "Ascension" is the arguably the first purely digital masterpiece of fine art in the world. Some call it the "Genesis Block" of digital fine art, but most simply admire this piece in awe as it's powerful depiction of the creation of life, captures our imaginations. Ironically, this digital masterpiece is the first to be made into a Non-Fungible Token (NFT) for eternal life on the digital blockchain.

The story begins representing the journey of humankind from our inception to our final voyage back to the Source. In the upper portion of the painting, the light and spirit essence of the universe is shown descending upon our world. On the right side, life evolves and gains consciousness to eventually becomes us. This light dwells within all of us; living in our world through us, in the Eternal Circle of Life. The beautiful female form in the center of the painting symbolizes humanity in the now. The glowing atom in her hand represents the sacred knowledge of the universe. Humankind now stands in judgment, to see what she will do with it. As we move to the left side of the painting, we are shown turning away from the physical world, as we transition into spirit, becoming more transparent as we go, leaving behind our Earthly ways of ego, selfishness, and physical desire ascending towards the Light, perfected greatly by our brief moments on this challenging physical paradise called Earth. — Ascension - the Genesis of Digital Fine Art

Dawn of Enlightenment Fine Art Mixed Media depicts the evolution of enlightenment throughout humanity. As people evolved, teachers among them appeared, telling of a supreme entity that was the spirit and essence of heaven, and Earth, and they call this God. These holy messengers also told of this beings desire for all people to live in brotherhood and spiritual and ethical harmony. Many believed them, and felt compelled to pay homage to this God. In His honor they created temples, adorned them with art and graven images, and worshiped Him in these places. In time, the grandness of the temples and the ritual of the ceremonies muffled the sound of the original message, but if one listens closely, the beauty of this message can still be heard - treat thy neighbor as thyself and do unto others as you would have them do unto you - and you will find great reward for the goodness of your works. — Dawn of Enlightenment Fine Art Oil on Canvas

The rider represents each and every one of us throughout the world.

The rider looks skyward with hope and optimism toward an image of himself, free and unencumbered, in the sky. — Restrictions Fine Art Oil on Canvas

John Pitre's "Explorers" is an Oil on Canvas. When Pitre lived in a beautiful town nestled in a high Rocky Mountain valley, he occasionally donned mountaineering skis and ventured as far as he dared into the nearly inaccessible interior to magical and alien places. One late evening on one of his ventures, the setting sun cast a rich warm glow onto the blue-green frozen landscape, creating an intense contrast of colors and an incredible display of crystalline light. Awestruck by the beauty of this place, Pitre imagined and created Explorers. The painting represents the adventurous spirit of man throughout the ages in his quest to explore the unknown, and his willingness to expose himself to harsh and sometimes dangerous environments, in search of adventure, profit and enlightenment. — Explorers Fine Art Oil on Canvas

John Pitre's "Politics" oil on canvas, is a satire on the folly of us playing political games in our quest for wealth and mightiness. The figures in the center represent a decaying government, hoarding wealth and power. To the left, military factions plot to gain power by a coup, while the to the right, religious groups attempt to spread their beliefs and influence. Everywhere, there are those who would deceive, steal and betray for a piece of the illusionary narcotic of power. In their selfish preoccupations, most are oblivious to the signs on the horizons, warning of what their pursuits could eventually bring; the meaningless destruction of everything they have come to know.

For the first time in history, we have the knowledge and mechanisms to cause ourselves to become extinct through our own willful acts. Let us pray that we are not the final generation, and the only one to have known the total history of humanity from our origin, through our final days.

The original oil on canvas of "Politics" is one of Pitre's last remaining original works, kept by him as one of his personal masterpieces of political commentary. — Politics Fine Art Oil on Canvas

John Pitre's "Dream of Flight" is a surreal illusion that depicts our fascination with flight and exploration throughout history, and our endless creativity for crafting vehicles to accomplish our dreams. Only brave souls capable of tremendous effort, willing to put themselves at risk, can venture where none of us have gone before. Sometimes they appear foolish and ridiculous in their efforts, but if they succeed, they are then viewed as magnificent, and will have enjoyed the reward of a very special experience beyond the grasp of those not willing to try. On the ground are those skeptics who declared the effort ridiculous, and the risk too great, declaring that it couldn't be done. They gaze upward at those who are willing to try and now soar high overhead. — Dream of Flight Fine Art Oil on Canvas

John Pitre's “Collateral Damage” was named from modern politicians to psychologically downplay the horrific mental image that the loss of innocent civilian lives caused by modern warfare burns into our minds. The beautiful warm glow of the setting sun is used to symbolize the end of time for many. Off in the distance the industrial war machine is seen as it all too often rumbles across the Earth in its relentless pursuit of power and selfish gain. Ignoring love, morality and compassion, it brutally destroys whatever opposes its dark will.

In the foreground, the beauty of a young child symbolizes the life of humanity itself. Upon a closer look, what is thought to be a child is nothing more than a mere wooden doll (an object of no real value). In its hand is a replica of our Earth, symbolizing the reality that we have the fate of our own existance, in our grasp.

During World War II, the civilian casualty rate was 50%. In more recent wars, it is now 90% due to the perfection of the weapon systems and their indiscriminate use. These casualties are called Collateral Damage. — Collateral Damage Fine Art Oil on Canvas Mixed Media

Icarus
John Pitre's rendition of the Greek mythological God, "Icarus", who is the son of the master craftsman Daedalus. Daedalus is known as the creator of the Labyrinth, or otherwise known as a maze. Icarus' father had constructed him wings built from from feathers and wax to escape the city of Crete. However, his father warned him of complacency and hubris, not to fly either too low or too high because the moisture of the sea and heat of the sun would damage his wings. Icarus ignored his father's instructions not to fly too close to the sun. The heat melted his wings and Icarus fell out of the sky into the sea where he drowned. This is the origin of saying "don't fly too close to the sun". — Icarus Fine Art Oil on Canvas
