Ekaterina Lestienne

Ekaterina (Eka) Lestienne is a trailblazing French digital artist whose work seamlessly integrates augmented reality, generative code, AI, and code-based art. As a pioneer in these cutting-edge mediums, Eka creates vibrant, layered compositions that spark joy, inspiration, and connection.

Since 2023, Eka has been focusing on art inscribed on Bitcoin. She views Bitcoin's on-chain structure—rooted in satoshi numbers and digital rarity—as a mirror of reality’s true essence. This philosophy drives her passion for creating art that is both immutable and deeply meaningful.

An intuitive creator, Eka blends digitally transformed images with generative elements, producing unique works that radiate energy and vitality. Her art has been called "energy powerhouses" for its ability to inspire and uplift. She believes beauty exists everywhere and uses her creations to spark conversations about optimism, transformation, and the future of humanity.
