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.

At the moment me, blog, world…

Guess what,…??? I’m not paint at the moment…

I’ve been veeerry busy lately, working on this blog, my topalski.com, and preparing few art related blogs/website. My hard disc is full, and before I over pour it I plan to organize its content and move it online. Art related content, tips, advices, tutorials, will be ingredients of my future website dish.

In the meantime I’m trying to survive GLOBAL economic crisis of… GLOBAL pandemia, GLOBAL threats, GLOBAL lack of something positive,…

Most of my free time I have dedicated to my little miracle, miracle of life, creation,… my little baby boy.

This Blog I’ve made as a test of word press possibilities, and here are conclusion… Word Press is great, simple and easy to manage!

Since the constant development of the web and new abilities to create and present yourself on it, I’m working on the new version of my main website (www.topalski.com), it will be at the address www.conteart.com. Visitors will have the ability to rank artworks on it, and there will also be an art store, with order basket, checkout, and some new features.

Main new website at www.conteart.com will be finished soon (I hope) in a few months.

Purpose of this Art Blog is to present my ideas, opinions, my artworks in progress, latest news,… or Modern world from perspective of an artist.

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!

Artists paints artworks, finish it, make exhibition, offer them,… FINISHED, that’s the usual way,…

What if…

Here at this page you are in the possibility to see my longterm artworks in process of creation, in process of revealing them, and in every phase of creation.

When the artwork is finished? When artist say or feel it’s enough, but…
What if You think or wish it’s enough for that artwork in the current state of creation?!

If You are interested, I’m inviting You to post with Your comments Your offers also (I hear 1$, anybody else,… NO ONE #@?$!)

What if…Again?

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?

Drawings on paper.

"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!
