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:

Conteart Art News-Your resource for the contemporary fine art

Subdomains under conteart.com are planed to provide art advices, tips and tutorials for artists and art lovers.

There’s a lot of great resources on the web, but they are not always easy to find. We will try to merge them here under the sky of ConteArt.

I had this great idea, to live where I live, in to work what I love and like-to paint, and to provide my living by selling my works of art. How to manage that? I’ve decided to make my personal page, at the space provided by my dial-up (what was that?…) internet provider (3MB), and after few months, and sleepless nights, my first website was ready. I was ready to go internationally. I can remember, that night when I have uploaded my first website my girlfriend and I have opened bottle of wine and cheer…

That was the beginning of something or my presence online, before social websites.

Did I sell anything via that site? … NO-simple as that!

… but thanks to this site I have begun to make websites for my friends.

This first website was great beginning, for some new opportunities in life, great introduction in capabilities of internet…

I have made my second website www.topalski.com, and this site was, and still is… great project, totally hand made, without any base (sql), but still have more than 360 html pages, 314 artworks, and real links about 800! But… when I count links at the side-bar (member off,…) it has more than 20.000 links!!! First page at the moment has google page rank 4! For some art related searches it is listed at the top of major search engines!

I design websites, because it gives me freedom, like painting, freedom of artistic creation, freedom to play, freedom to explore,… also possibility to earn some $.

Currently I’m working on this blog, main conte website (www.conteart.com), several other blogs, as well as some websites for my friends.

Oh yeah, not to forget, when I make some website for my friends, after that, they share with me they money friends

I you wish, we could share and be friends!

When I have fall down of creativity, or when my wife thinks my creativity needs support, here is what she’s preparing for launch.
She claims that’s some recipe from Sardegna!?!

Anyway… art is all around us. Isn’t it?

Darko Topalski at TV Studio

Yes, I’m presenter at the regional TV station Panonija here in my hometown Novi Sad Why?

I’m constantly working on myself, on improvements, to achieve better artistic technique, or to try to catch happiness in life.

To be news presenter good look and voice are not enough! You need something more to be completely here in that single moment. That’s easy someone would say, but it’s not! You are almost never here, in your mind you are usually somewhere out there, with your family, ideas, problems, hopes,… Everyone should learn how to clear mind, how to be completely here. Only than you will be in the possibility to work with 100%, to finish it, and to proceed further. Some of the philosophy schools are teaching us that to be present now, here, at the moment is the key, or one of them. If I say don’t think about the elephant, what’s in your mind… elephant. Clean your mind, clean your self, and at the end try to catch that tiny moment between breath in and breath out! That will be then only the beginning.

Just spread your wings, and fly.

"Would you Dare?" Oil on canvas by Topalski

It gives me freedom, when I paint I’m in my own world and I have a freedom to paint what I like and what I want in that particular moment. That is the main reason why I have a lot of experiments. You can shock in art someone in many ways, and we were witnesses of that through history. I prefer more to produce art that will emerge your feelings, your thoughts, artwork to which you will come again and again and again. That particular and special type of art I call OPVS EVOLVZIONE and they are mine special (or I think so), something specific and personal!

In my case and my painting, sometimes inspiration is some photo, sometimes it’s the artwork of some other artist (because of theme or technique), I have also these special moments when I practically see finished painting that I have never seen before.

Sometimes I dream it and sometimes it’s that moment between dream and reality! After that I made a drawing, but the most difficult thing is to paint that painting as I “saw it” sometimes during the process of painting something new emerges up, something I haven’t expected faces that you see in one moment and faces that you’ve never seen before at this work in the next moment!
