Invest in Art
“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” ~ Thomas Merton
Art reflects the world, our inner worlds and captures a moment in time.
Perhaps this is why it’s so valuable to the creator, the owner and society as a whole. A reflection of another perspective, a moment captured and immortalised in a variety of formats as a human expression. It’s a condensation of one’s imagination, a message wrapped in a riddle, a window to life bristling around us or the worlds that exist in our wildest fantasies.
When an artist releases a piece of their soul to the world, this momentary expression becomes frozen in time, a singular snapshot of their being… bestowed upon the here and now. How can you possibly put a price on a piece of art that captures one’s essence? That’s why artists strive, sometimes never fully realising the magnitude of their expression much like van Gogh, to create to express and to push the bounds of self-expression. This is why the artwork you buy has value – not only as a never-to-be-repeated time capsule, a snapshot of true talent, an emotive resonance but as a contribution to arts and culture.
Cherish Memories
“The object of art is not to reproduce reality, but to create a reality of the same intensity.” ~ Alberto Giacommetti
A photograph sometimes isn’t enough.
When people return from grand overseas adventures, they often bring back a treasure trove of photographs to record and document their exploration of this green and blue marble floating in space. It’s to say “I was there” and to help us remember moments from our lives, times when we were free to roam and dream up bold new adventures. This speaks to the power of nostalgia, the gravity of life and our desire to commemorate the highs of living mindfully and enjoying new life experiences.
Whether your photo album includes shots of The Eiffel Tower, The Grand Canyon or Zambezi wild water rapids… nothing quite captures the emotional texture and living memory of an event like an artwork. Whether you’re wanting to celebrate someone’s life, adore a pet or commemorate a wedding anniversary, cherish a family home or special occasion – art conjures up expressive visuals, environments and moods beyond the limitation of words.
Beautify Your Living Space
“The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.” ~ Pablo Picasso
Your space should calm the senses and provoke your imagination.
Furniture and décor can say a great deal about a person, yet art says so much more. What we choose to hang on our walls speaks to our hopes and dreams. Art can inspire us and help us decompress. Our lives have become hectic with social media, constant communication with a wide array of ways to keep us off balance. This is what makes art so powerful in its ability to centre us, return us to the mindful moment and create a familiar scenario anywhere we call home.
Art has a way of grounding us but can also create an atmosphere of serenity, easing our troubles with its aesthetic qualities and reconnecting us with what we hold as important. Finding the right piece for your environment is important to help draw the room together.
