Several years ago or exactly 3, I’ve stopped to paint. 3 years ago my wife revealed nice tiny baby boy, I was working as anchorman at local tv station, was web admin also. Part of my living room was my studio, baby vs oils… In the meantime I was also news editor, and then financial crisis & I quit that job (here some of the employers has the idea that you should work even without salary).

My boy got his own room & I space to paint. I’ve made a decision & start to sell my old artworks! Simple as that NO… I’ve decided to sell them no matter the price!!! I had my artworks in local galleries, without some significant success, I had them at my personal website www.topalski.com & at some other “great online places for selling art”… I’ve painted, painted and end up with walls filed with artworks, my walls & my artworks. It was nice in the beginning, after months they were like locked-up.

I’ve decided to sell them, or most of them. Purpose of art is to go outside, to the world, to customers walls, not to paint for me, myself, family, friends,…

Now I have dozens of satisfied customers, I have less finished artworks & more art in progress. Most of them are oil paintings on primed masonite (mdf) board. Masonite is inexpensive and it gives me freedom to paint whatever I like or almost any idea I have.

Every new artwork you can see at my facebook wall and at my twitter page.

At the end…

How to sell your artwork?

Easy… decide to sell it (if you sell one, you can always paint more) don’t overprice it, keep some of your works (made a collection best of the best).

Why to buy artwork?

Because you like it is the first reason. Second…Art investment… You can buy cheap today & some day have… Artworks are rare contemporary piece that have a potential to keep price & to grow.

Here some of my latest and sold artworks:

Oil on canvas, 80X120cm

This painting I’ve started few years ago!!!
Now I’m ready to continue with painting!

What it is about? By the bible first people on the Earth was Adam & Eve… you probably know the story.. Eden, snake, apple,…

And here my painting goes… Present day at the earth, or somewhere in the sky, in front of the gates of Heaven Eve is still young, and Adam is old, after all those years of healthy Earth life, with wrinkles, hair loss,…

What If he had this experience, or knows what will happen, consequences, … WOULD HE TOOK THIS APPLE?! WOULD HE HAVE THAT TEMPTATION? WOULD HE?

On my painting they are inforont of the gates of Heaven, Eves hand becomes snake, and in fact Eve/Snake are offering this apple again. In the middle is Holy Grail (represents eternal life)… Will he take in, will he grab it?
