Oil painting on Canvas, 19.7 x 27.6″ (Olio su tela 50×70cm)

Here are photos of the finished painting and works in progress…

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:

I’m with my artworks, my art website online for past several years (~6y) & each day, every week, month,…  I receve a lot art related emails. That was one of reason to launch my latest “Art News” website. I’m currently cleaning and publishing content from my art related mails. Here’s just another one “China Oil Painting Manufacture”… and another one, and another one…

P.S. I will not let you the opportunity, and show links to their websites (If you wish to buy 25$ “art”)

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.

The best about blogging is easiness of writing and posting

Everything that’s in my mind that I think should be important to notice I can easily post it.

Modern world is world of contrasts, at one side we have problems with weight, at the other side we have hungry people. Someone will buy a car that is worth as a completely equipped house at the other side we have people living in a carton box,…

Then my favorite… Donations!
Ok you have some extra money, and you want to share it with world, or you with someone will say “you are so noble”, what will you do. The answer is correct you will make donations!

BRAAAVOOO! You will give US$ 10.000.000 to some organization to fight cancer, aids,… that is very nice

But, if you give 10M, someone else 15M,………..
What do you think will they find ever that cure=NO.

Q: Why not?

A: Search is better than discovery (better funds)
… and if you find that real cure for some diseases a lot of people will stay without US$ 100.000/year salary!

Situation is the same wit eco and cheap fuel.

Let’s back to art…

Last week here in my hometown was a charity auctions of artworks for Safe Children house. 800 invitations was sent! Eight hundred printed invitations, addresses, stamps,… Was it successful? NO!!! Why? No one has appeared (800 invitations!)

There is no benefit from safe house, buying art, sorry no tax deduction…

In past artists has patrons, sponsors, and they could live, create, paint and live proper like artists. These days we have auctions with millions of dollars for masterpieces of death artists. Imagine for example musicians, what if popular would be only classics, and music of death composers and performers and only several contemporary!?!  Or actors?! … or what if I die… and nothing no benefit, even for my grandchildren?!
I can only hope and pray that my grand grand children will have some benefit from my art and artworks.

What if, or what would I do with some extra $?

Rearrange my house, make some extra space for painting,… or go to some island first, on a whole month vacation, then rearrange,…

If you have some suggestions, how to profit now instead of in year 2118, please comment or send me a mail, as long as I’m alive!

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?

"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!
