Читать книгу How to sell your paintings? - - Страница 25

Monday morning. Scrolling through my social media feed. I come across posts from an artist who has put their paintings up for sale. I read his comments about buyers, the artist's dialogue with the audience goes as follows:

– "People who have money are not very smart or decent."

– "Many are. Fortunately, there are exceptions."

– "All exceptions will soon go bankrupt."

While the mind despises affluent buyers (yes, probably not just buyers, and they can only be considered affluent from the artist's personal perspective), selling paintings is pointless. Perhaps it's cool in the author's eyes to flaunt contempt for people and arrogantly pride oneself on being broke. What a shame. His works are good.

The author doesn't consider it worthwhile for himself or his works to be paid decently. And he humiliates not only buyers but also his own creativity. The problem is that when such an artist comes to me saying, "Come on, Galina, what do I need to do to sell?" my communication with him makes no sense.

Because as long as there's stinking garbage in his mind, all technologies and methods are blocked. Do you think you must always be a martyr? Everything is very complicated? Do you enjoy the closed circle of suffering? That's not our way. Because my work is aimed at making people more prosperous and happy. Have you encountered such artists? How did you feel afterwards?
