Sacred Layers
What SuperRare curated, what Faith Love posted, what Exchange Art banned — and whether Gradient Horizons #9 was part of the steal.
The artists are MireyitaStudio (@MireyitaStudio) and Faith Love (@Izzyalright). SuperRare did curate the Spanish artist through summer and autumn 2025. Then, in four days in December, a traced drawing, a manager drop, a 16-work Exchange Art dossier, and a SuperRare-adjacent comparison landed on the same name.
Three stories got flattened into one. Only one of them is the Faith Love drawing. Only one of them produced a platform ban. The Gradient Horizons landscape — this file’s object — is a third object.
Bottom line for this token
Not the Faith Love trace Not in the 16-work EA packet Same artist, later stained
No public side-by-side identified Sacred Layers as a copy of another artist’s composition. SuperRare did not pull Gradient Horizons. Exchange Art banned her for other inventory. A different SuperRare 1/1 — Lost Connection, on the SPECTRA contract — was the piece researchers flagged on SR.
The two artists
Mireyita (b. 1991, Spain, Madrid). Self-taught painter and textile artist; full-time from 2022 after leaving a family real-estate COO job. Public narrative is medical and maternal: strabismus surgeries in 2023, color as visual therapy, C-section scars in Healing Threads, seven months pregnant during the October SuperRare drop. Web3 since November 2021. Site: mireyitastudio.com.
Faith Love (@Izzyalright). Chicago. Minimal iPad line work, mental-health themes, some embroidery. In web3 since 2020; previously Coinbase CX. Site: faithloveart.xyz. Larger X following. Her language is spare figures, not candy landscapes. They were never stylistic twins. The first accusation is a composition steal, not “they paint alike.”
What SuperRare actually did
SuperRare did not “maybe show her once.” They onboarded her and put her on the house calendar.
She announces official SuperRare artist status. Genesis: Gradient Horizons. Post
SR: Gradient Horizons Phase 1 live, 0.1 ETH reserve, 5 paintings. Contract 0x0bea74…24a7 — the contract this token lives on. Post
SR posts Phase 2 as a curated release. Bidders named include @pengwinpants. Sacred Layers (#9) won 5 Sep. Post
September curated-releases graphic names @MireyitaStudio. Post
SPECTRA (6 × 1/1s) goes live. Official October calendar lists SPECTRA on the 22nd. Post
Healing Threads announced sold for 0.5 ETH to @pengwinpants, plus another physical at $7,900.
SR copyright rules require original, non-infringing work and allow later takedowns. Policy: Community Guidelines. No Mireyita-specific SR enforcement post appeared in the public record. Homepage archives: web.archive.org → superrare.com → Oct 2025.
Story 1 — Faith Love, 3–4 December
This is the explosion. It is not Sacred Layers.
On 3 December Faith Love posted her December 2024 drawing next to Mireyita’s “The Color Study / The artwork.” Same hands-over-face composition; Mireyita added a gradient fill. Ignition post
4 December, 01:51 UTC: “This is literally my work TRACED??????” — roughly 16k likes and 600k views. Thread
Mireyita’s account of that file: found on Pinterest, painted a physical, added gradients, one mistake, already apologized privately, did not mint that composition as the sold NFT. Faith’s account: two days of DM denials, a promised timelapse that did not arrive, the copy looking AI-processed, pregnancy used as a shield.
That afternoon @Hildabroom7 / Hildabroommgmt dropped her and apologized to Faith. Statement
Faith is an exceptional artist who's work towers on its own… we’re making the difficult decision to move forward from managing @MireyitaStudio.
That is the only “official” web3-adjacent institution that moved on day one.
Story 2 — Exchange Art, Bosmans, Johal
By 5 December @UnknownCo123 argued it was not one Pinterest accident. Google Lens hits on Jerry-Lee Bosmans and Angela Johal. Claim: the Color Perception series on Exchange Art looked like those works recolored, rotated, or pushed through AI. Thread (~110k views)
8 December @DD_ArtPulse filed about 16 works to Exchange Art. “Original artist is always to the left.” Report
Jerry-Lee Bosmans — Nijmegen designer. Daily gradient experiments since 2020. Commercial work for Apple, Amazon, Meta, Google. “Geometric Landscapes.” Behance
Angela Johal — Bay Area hard-edge painter, BFA San Jose State 1985. Hand-taped acrylics she calls “chromesthetic geometrics.” de Young, SFMOMA Artists Gallery, Bender Gallery. Not an NFT native. johalgeometrics.com
10 December Exchange Art banned her after “formal review.” Ban post
we have confirmed that this artist engaged in unauthorized use of another creator’s work. As a result, their account has been permanently removed from the platform.
That ban is the cleanest institutional finding in the file. It is about EA inventory. It does not automatically adjudicate every SuperRare 1/1. Community posts also said an objkt.com account was restricted; objkt did not publish a matching named statement in this sweep. Objkt policy does allow feature restriction without burning the chain. Guidelines
Story 3 — SuperRare after the fact
10 December DD posted a SuperRare-specific update: the Bosmans case “is known,” plus a second SR file. Left = @posterlad original. Middle = an EA piece already pulled. Right = Lost Connection, a SPECTRA 1/1 sold on SuperRare in October, minted via Transient Labs. Update
SR listing still live: Lost Connection. SPECTRA collection: series page.
9 December artist/curator @edouard: SuperRare “still sells these ‘curated’ counterfeit artworks.” Post
7 December @PKhazaeee aimed the anger at SR gatekeeping. Post
10 December UnknownCollector’s “Masterclass in Deceiving Everyone” — useful as a mood document, not as a forensic exhibit. Post
No SuperRare takedown thread turned up. SPECTRA and Gradient Horizons pages stayed up.
This collector’s two works
Sacred Layers — Gradient Horizons #9
- Vault: along7gallery.xyz/works/gradient-horizons/9
- OpenSea: token 9 / 0x0bea74…24a7
- Minted 27 Aug 2025 by 0xee228833…5193
- Auction won 5 Sep 2025 on SuperRare (5 bids, 3 bidders)
- File 2395×3545 jpg · sha256 f868f96c529d43307ef3d723f4e5c430a3ec05c924c90337b420ad918608e537
- Text: Andes / Cusco terraces, Inca suns, textile color
along7.eth / @pengwinpants also appears in the Phase 2 bidder list SuperRare published, and is the named buyer of Healing Threads. The along7 vault later archived #9 (entered vault 30 Nov 2025; archived 10 Jul 2026).
Healing Threads — Mending Series physical
Announced 28 Nov 2025, 0.5 ETH, collected by @pengwinpants. Stitched painting about surgical scars. Different medium, different story, not in the DD 16-work EA packet.
Mireyita, 6 Dec 2025, to a collector: “the artworks you collected, and all my recent work, are not plagiarized!! neither the physical pieces nor the digital ones. My Gradient Horizons series and everything I’ve been creating lately come purely from my own process… Only a very small part of my work from 2024 was affected.” Post
That is her claim. It is not a lab clearance. What is true: nobody published a “Sacred Layers = Artist X” plate the way they did for Faith Love and for Lost Connection.
| Test | Faith Love drawing | EA Color Perception | Lost Connection (SPECTRA) | Sacred Layers (GH #9) | Healing Threads |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Named original | Faith Love | Bosmans, Johal | Posterlad (per DD) | None published | None published |
| Platform action | Social + manager drop | EA ban | Flagged; SR silent | None | None |
| Match to viral comps | Exact composition | High, per grids | High, per 3-up | No | No |
| Artist admission on this file | Yes, as “the one” | “Small part of 2024” | Not specific | Called GH original | Called physicals original |
Genre note: smooth hills + orbs + neon suns was a crowded 2023–25 digital look. Overlap is not a court-ready copy. Private test if wanted — reverse-image the full file:
Afterlife, 2026
Mireyita kept posting studio and family work. January 2026: “Web3 was never my priority. I made mistakes, owned them, learned, and moved forward.” Faith Love kept making work; the December thread remains the receipt. SuperRare kept curating other artists and never posted a named apology. Exchange Art used the case as a zero-tolerance example.
On-chain the token is still a SuperRare-auctioned 1/1. Off-chain the artist’s name carries a documented IP mess. Both can be true.

What this file still cannot settle
Whether an unpublished reference or model sat under Sacred Layers. Whether SuperRare privately reviewed GH after 10 December. The exact objkt restriction, if any — only community mention, no named objkt post found. Any collector refunds. Those would need wallets, DMs, or platform staff, none of which are in the open record used here.
