Advice for first-time buyers.
Original, direct art – especially oil painting – can make any space personal and emotionally valuable. If you're buying art for the first time, here are some practical tips to help you make an informed choice.
Every work should have its place. Are you looking for artwork for the living room, a peaceful painting for the bedroom or an effective accent for the office? Large spaces need bold works, while smaller spaces are better suited to a calm and airy composition. We are talking about a painting that you can live with, so to speak. A painting that you can live with is one that makes you feel good and energetic, that speaks to you. A painting that does not disturb or irritate you when you are in the same room, but rather lifts your mood and creates positive feelings.
Art is personal – don’t choose based on what you “should”, but what really speaks to you. Are you drawn to abstract oil painting or instead clear nature motifs or portraits? When you look at a painting, you recognize the clear truth. Trust your gut feeling. Of course, there are fashion trends that dictate styles and even color schemes. But fortunately, nowadays it is also allowed to be authentic, that is, be yourself.
Original oil painting carries the artist's handwriting, brushstrokes, and energy that no printed copy can convey. Original work is unique and often valuable. When an artist paints with his heart, he puts a piece of himself into each work.
Paintings Colors affect mood. Warm colors create coziness, cool colors calm down. Choose colors that support the function of the room and your personal style.
Flower paintings instead of real flowers. I use it myself in my home. Different flower paintings create a mood. They can be changed according to the season and mood. For example, tulip paintings in spring bring the fresh bright glow of spring into the room.
Artwork as a gift is deeper and more memorable than a mass-produced product. Think about the recipient's taste, home interior, and what emotion you want to give them.
Finally – right country It's not what everyone likes, but what makes you happy. good feelingIf a work invites you to stop and think, then you've found the right one.
