 Painting is taking a more and more significant place in the life of the modern society. It is possible that it is by virtue of a higher level of urbanization when a person requires to have a spiritual image with positive energy. An artwork creatively impacts the spiritual and emotional state of a viewer. That is very relevant in our complicated time, as it is important to preserve a living flow of healthy mental attitude because there is a departure from the traditions and traditional moral standards.

The word «painting» itself comes from the notion of depicting something true to life. Graphical canvases show images of people and animals, city and countryside landscapes, historical events, mythological subjects, scenes from the modern life. An artist can simply depict a composition without a subject, an allegory or his own imagination. The pictures of different genres and styles are always much in demand in the interior. A picture can find a place for itself anywhere: in the sitting-room, in the dining-room, in the office, in the children's room, in the lobby. A picture will not only ornament the living quarters with its meaningfulness and decor, but it can also make public space or business environment more decorated. A picturesque painting will always be a concise and prestigious gift for any person of any age because anartwork gift is unforgettable memory about the person gifting it.

Social painting as a field of something spiritual is able to praise the Absolute in its creations. An artist sees and personifies what a regular person cannot see, making a viewer stop to see all this beauty opening in front of him. That is how the world view sharpens — the person starts seeing beauty around him, and the picture builds up the cultural space. The creation itself is born inside of an artist as an act of co-authorship. Painting the picture, the artist puts a part of himself into his creation. Not every master can easily say good-bye to his creation; he is worried about the fate of his favorite project. A painter constantly observes the nature retrieving new impulses from what he gathers. The world view of an artist dictates his personal painting manner and a way to select images. An artist thinks about the composition and the color scheme of a future picture, finalizing his decision in the future, making sketches, drawings and drafts. An image or an idea that is materialized on canvas prevails. It is possible to depict a moment or the state in the artwork that can never be repeated in life. An artist can repeat special favorite moments many times over.

When creating artworks, modern artists use different artistic materials: canvas, carton, paints, varnishes and choose them in accordance with their individual method and technique of working with paints to achieve the most picturesque effect, to preserve a multi-colored painting better. Each artwork brings its own mood, calms down or excites, attracting the eyes and directing them to move along the canvas. Creating a portrait, an artist analyzes and combines, and by doing that transforms nature expressing his understanding of the model and the attitude towards it. The complex composition story makes viewers think, and a simple story brings in enjoyment attracting with the beauty of painting, lively transmission of color and light natural features, the sonance of paints.

It is possible to buy art and surprise your family on a family celebration or for the New Year's. Psychologists note that the depicted landscape favorably impacts your children, especially if the composition is calm and is shown in soft tones. The pictures with animals and birds, illustrations for fairy tales will be always interesting for children. It is known to everyone that the culture around us forms us from the childhood. It is in our power to nurture taste in our children having surrounded them with high quality paintings. Before you buy paintings for a children's room, you need to think about what you want to achieve: a smile of a child who looks at a joyful animal, a thought of a teenager who looks into a multi-figure composition or whether you are setting your offspring for a certain career, putting a portrait of a musician, a military figure, a teacher, a sportsman, etc. If the child is a bit older and gives his own preferences, it would be worth it to buy artwork giving him several options to choose from.

Sometimes it happens that an oil painting can compensate for our nostalgia for nature and the warm summer that is gone, it transfers us to beautiful reality. Some people prefer to buy paintings and to decorate their walls with bright colorful spots of red poppies or white lilacs that immediately attract the attention of people who enter the room and create a feeling of a celebration. Others, to the contrary, think that an unassuming monochromatic painting built on close tones is more preferable in the interior. When some people decorate their residence, they choose posting favorite oil painting reproductions by famous artists. Good artwork copies of famous painters can be valuable and will decorate any space. Modern artists-copiers are usually highly valued. When guests come in, the owner gets a bit nervous showing his new acquisitions that his online gallery has added in by that day.

When you have money and time for it, it is possible to acquire paintings to order exclusively for you. A family portrait with a grandfather and a grandmother, children's portraits, couple's portraits of spouses or a whole portrait gallery. A landscape with the view of your cottage or your favorite places of rest: a blooming apple orchard or some lilacs next to your home. A stilllife of fruits that you grew yourself: a plate with apples or strawberries, even with apricots or pears. The animalistic genre will present your pets. There are a lot of connoisseurs of art now who want to buy abstract art because then they receive a unique image where every viewer can see something unique, and which in the majority of the cases cannot be reproduced making it especially valuable.

Choosing artwork for a public place, it is necessary to think about the correspondence to the type of activity and the interior decor. For example, the walls of a minimalistic modern office will look stylish with abstract compositions, and a meeting room of a large corporation will be improved with panoramic landscapes. When buying artwork for an office space, a reception hall, an office room one needs to ensure that this artwork does not have any ambiguous meaning and does not insult the feelings of your visitor, does not push away a possible client.

It is not always easy to choose a picture for a specific interior if you are doing this by yourself and you are not using the services of a specialist, but the main thing is for you to like it and bring in satisfaction. Even a perfectly suitable for the decor artwork can create discord with the mood of the owners. It is necessary not only to buy artwork but also to choose an appropriate spot for it. If it is necessary to find a place for this picture in the apartment space or house that has already been formed, the picture will give a hint itself where it would look better.

It is better to have the color scheme, the size of the canvas, the texture of the surface and the character of the decor of the artwork frame correspond to the walls and objects around. For example, when hanging a small picture over a big sofa you will optically make the sofa bigger. And hanging a large artwork in a big frame over a small table, the table will seem even smaller, and the picture will be more monumental. Everything depends on the wishes and tastes of the owners. The frame is an important element, it gives artwork completeness, it limits the illusory space of the artwork from the real. A small artwork can have a wide massive frame, and, to the contrary, a large artwork can have a modest frame. Some artworks are already sold with frames.

The light plays a great role in the perception of an artwork in the interior as morning and evening sun rays will play on the painting's surface. It is not advisable to place dark artwork in badly lit places, it will not look good there. And, to the contrary, light palette in a brightly lit room will lose its colors. When putting artwork under glass you should ensure that it does not glare under artificial lighting.

We should talk about painting preservation as well.Paintings for sale that are presented by the majority of painters are done in oil on canvas. Oil painting as a living organism requires close attention and careful treatment from the owner. Even more fragile water-color painting has to be put under glass. Artwork cannot be hanging under direct sunlight, over heating devices, in humid space or in draughty space. During the season of heating, the air inside needs to be humidified but not with hot steam. Dust from the surface of artworks and frames can be eliminated by using wide soft brushes. It is clear that the ideal conditions of the temperature moisture setting are maintained only in museums, but still, we should not forget about painting preservation. If an artwork is damaged, it is advisable to consult a professional art conservator. When one has valuable artwork or collections of objects, one needs to keep a description, sizes, technique and a photograph of the artwork in case it is stolen.

At the present moment there is an opportunity to sell uniquely designed prints on canvas at the gallery. The idea was born when we noticed the polygraphic options of the gallery itself, as well as after getting quite a lot of orders for copies of the pictures that were already sold.
In many cases the creation of a copy of... an artwork is practically impossible (see, for example, the Abstractionist section). A lot of such artworks are in the status of «sold» or «not for sale». The new opportunity will help you to implement your intellectual right for your work. If in the process of selling work no special agreement about the transfer of intellectual rights to the customer has been signed, all intellectual rights, particularly «the right to sell the image» will still belong to the artist.
The opportunity to sell a print on canvas is also possible for artwork in the «for sale» status.
When uploading the image, the system can offer all available options of prints that can be printed for the uploading image. The artist sets the price for the image and the number of prints. For the artwork that has already been uploaded you can also use the option of selling a print on canvas. All you need to do is go to the section «Edit» located under each published artwork and find the phrase:
Would you like to sell  print on canvas for this work?
