There’s a misconception that being an artist is all about splashing paint on canvas and waiting for inspiration to strike. But today, I’d like to invite you into the world of modern artistry, where every brush stroke is intentional and every artwork is meticulously documented.
Before the sun even shines, I’m already prepping my studio and my office. With a past in professional photography, my skillset proves invaluable as I set up to capture my artwork. The pieces are photographed with high-end equipment, ensuring every detail is discernible for potential fine art print collectors. These prints offer an opportunity for art enthusiasts to own a piece, especially if they are drawn to a larger representation of the work or if the original might be outside their budget.
But capturing the image isn’t just about the static visual. I often use neon uv light reactive paint and markers in my abstract gestural artworks. So, capturing the dynamism of the colors, the texture, and the unique glow is essential. Videos and images are taken to do justice to every nuance.
Once that’s accomplished, the creative process of naming the artwork begins. This is possibly my favorite step, as it encapsulates the essence of the piece. Following this, there’s the tedious yet vital task of creating an inventory number and recording the provenance. Details such as exhibitions the artwork has been part of, its storage location, and more are added. All this information is meticulously archived on my platform of choice artworkarchive.com . The system aids in streamlining the process, ensuring that no detail, however minute, is overlooked.
With the administrative work in place, I decide which artworks to list on various platforms like my personal shop and SaatchiArt ( use this link to get 15% off your first order). Decisions, decisions!
The day concludes with perhaps the most intimate act of an artist: signing the piece. It’s a personal stamp, an acknowledgment of creation.
Considering the work that goes into each piece, I’ve decided to elevate the prices of my original artworks. Rest assured, prints will remain at their current price. As I comb through my vast collection, cataloging and archiving, it’s evident that being an artist isn’t just a passion—it’s my full-time job.
In this journey, every bit of support counts. Whether you choose to bring a piece of my art into your life, follow my artistic journey, or simply share my posts, each gesture is deeply appreciated. Let’s continue to celebrate art, in all its forms.
