Take a look at the inspiring Faces submissions arriving from artists around the world. Through portraits, abstractions, and expressive forms, these works uncover vulnerability, strength, culture, and connection reminding us that every face holds a story worth seeing.

Simplicity looks easy until you try to master it. Piet Mondrian did what most artists spend lifetimes chasing, he made simplicity profound. Born in the Netherlands in 1872, Mondrian began like many others, painting trees, fields, and quiet horizons. But somewhere along the way, he stopped chasing what he saw and started painting what he felt. His journey from representational landscapes to pure abstraction wasn’t just about changing styles, it was about redefining what art could even be. Mondrian believed that beneath all the chaos of life was a hidden order.…

Being an artist is already very hard. Between painting, managing your studio, and trying to get your work seen, it often feels like you are juggling too many balls at once. What if I told you there’s a simple formula that makes it easier to get your work done, handle the behind-the-scenes tasks, and actually see results? The 60/30/10 rule does exactly that. It’s a surprisingly small adjustment with a big payoff, helping you balance creative time, admin tasks, and marketing without feeling like you’re drowning in to-dos. Here’s why it…

Themes in art are kind of like walking a tightrope over a pit of opinions. Tilt too much toward what everyone else expects, and suddenly your work doesn’t sound like you. Lean too far into your own thing, and people might scratch their heads, wondering what connects it all. That’s the daily juggling act every artist knows too well, how to follow a concept without letting it hijack your voice. It’s not just about looking good on a wall. Galleries, residencies, and even collectors all have invisible “expectations” baked into what…

Before announcing our selected artists for “Birds”, we want to pause and express our gratitude to every artist who submitted their work. Each piece carried a story of freedom, change, and the quiet strength that lives in every act of creation. Your submissions reminded us why we create in the first place: to connect, to feel, and to share the beauty of being human. Every brushstroke, photograph, and sculpture reflected courage and care, turning this open call into something truly meaningful. Now, we are honored to introduce the selected artists whose…

They say even the sun needs to rise every day to be trusted. The same goes for artists. People start believing in your work when they see it show up again and again, not just once in a while. The artists who build lasting value aren’t always the loudest or the most hyped, they’re the ones who keep showing up, quietly, steadily, and with heart. That steady rhythm builds something money can’t buy: trust. Consistency is how people learn that your art isn’t just a lucky streak. It’s proof that you…

They say artists live forever through their work, but only if someone actually knows what to do with it. Too many masterpieces end up in storage units, dusty attics, or lost hard drives because no one planned what should happen next. That’s where a legacy plan steps in. It’s not a gloomy thing, it’s actually one of the smartest, most empowering things you can create as an artist. A legacy plan curates your story before someone else does. It’s a roadmap for how your creative life continues to have meaning long…

Remember that feeling when you’re standing on the edge of something vast, sea, cliff, sky, and for a moment nothing else matters? That’s the world that Caspar David Friedrich often invites us into. Born in 1774 in northern Germany, Friedrich became one of the key figures of the German Romantic movement.What he did differently was simple yet profound: he stopped treating landscapes as just backdrops and made them the main subject. Mountains, mist, sea, these were not just places, they were experiences.  His paintings were slower than many modern works, built…

Out of sight doesn’t mean out of story. The moment your artwork leaves your studio, its journey doesn’t end ,  it simply changes hands. Yet most artists stop thinking about a piece the minute it’s sold, as if its value or relevance disappears with the transaction. In truth, that’s when an entirely new chapter begins, one that can quietly influence your career in ways you might not realize. Tracking where your art goes and who owns it isn’t just record-keeping, it’s reputation-building. Every artwork that finds a new home adds a…

The gender gap is real. You’re not overthinking it. If you’ve ever looked around at an exhibition lineup or flipped through an art fair catalog and quietly wondered why there are still so few women, your instinct was right. The numbers back it up, and they’ve been doing so for years. But understanding how to read those numbers is where things start to get really interesting. Art market reports love clean charts and polished graphs, but behind those visuals are messy truths. They show that for every celebrated female artist, there…
