Art is so expensive!

Art should be expensive.


We call art expensive, but is it really?


Think about how much we spend on fashion knowing it's trendy and buyers are fickle.


We buy new furniture and technology even though we know most will need to be upgraded.


But with original art, we question the price.


Somehow, we started valuing convenience above craftsmanship.


Original art is more than decoration.


It's years.


Years of practice, creativity and seeing the world differently.


No two originals are the same.


Each piece exists once. No print can replicate it fully.


Its value isn't created by marketing.


It's created by hands, time, skill and individuality.


Mass production creates quantity.


Original art is created from nothing and can never be reproduced exactly.


Have we been looking at art the wrong way?


It's not just a commodity.


It's something you preserve, live with and pass on.
