The Shop - Why selling online opens new doors

Artists to date are faced a number of obstacles:

As an artist it can be pretty tedious to find a gallery that is willing to exhibit your work. We know how it is because we tried.

Artists spend a lot of time and resources to get access to galleries or further exhibition opportunities. Galleries also like to exhibit their themes and focus sometimes even on commonalities among artists they serve. Moreover some galleries ask for sign-up fees artists have to invest upfront. You, as collectors being interested in acquiring a piece, find a mark-up in the artwork price driven by marketing and public relation efforts.

Often, we made the experience that some galleries would like to get the artworks first shipped to them without a guarantee or an agreement. 

Hence, the idea was born to launch an Online and Accessible Gallery.

Moreover, having exchanged our experiences in publishing our works and how to best reach out to collectors, friends and business partners, this platform facilitates the relationship build directly between artist and collector!
