The Epitome of Fine Arts


Wall painting still remains as the most patronized among artworks for sale even with contemporary art and this of course is limited to fine arts alone. Even a paper machete created by grades school children is an art and can be sold for fund raising purposes. However, painting remains as the epitome of attraction for people who possess exquisite taste.

Wall painting among artworks for sale started as a symbol of one’s status quo and which impression remains as it is until now. A fine amateur artist will catch the attention of exhibitors. She has now the opportunity to be known until such time businesses would elbow each other to carry her works for corporate art. Time will come that her name reverberates to the art world and her wall paintings will not speak for her alone but it will be her popular name signed to each of her works. And truly, this is where possessing her works become a signature to people who are after status symbols.
High grade wall paintings are appreciated only with people who have the means to afford at least the cheapest one. This is based from the presumption that people who have money are people who know the value of money. The more one has, the more the need arises which does not necessarily mean a confinement to basic necessities. But all the more, people want something that will cost them higher than the usual things they had when money seemed elusive. In this case,  it is just but logical that wall paintings that are more costly than ordinary wall art we see in the mall or in furniture store attract even people who are still in the onset of stuffing their wallet with greener Pasteur.

Artworks for sale can be anything from a doodle to coloured-paper cut outs but there is what we call fine arts that make the classy drool. A wall art in the house is a reflection of the taste of the homeowner for fine things.  However, many know the value of such art but lack to have it because of budget scarcity for the investment which only implies that more than taste it is money that speak when we talk about owning a high grade wall painting. The value of wall paintings grew overtime and is relative on the growth of the value of the artist a person who will spend for wall painting usually checks on the other works of the artists. Buyers may not look at the name of the artist in a glance but surely would determine if the master creator of the artwork for sale has potential to grow in the art world just by looking at the consistency of his excellent pieces.

Landscape Paintings—artists’ favourite style


Landscape paintings are artists’ favourite of whether yester years or with contemporary art There will be no doubt about this fact the moment you look through the online galleries of many artists all over the world. You can assume then that the general observation of landscape art propagating the internet is valid just by checking on artworks for sale.

Artists derive their inspiration to what they feel which most of the time is based also from what they see. The things within sight plus the emotions such panorama create is a wonderful subject to paint. What else can trigger moods of melancholy, nostalgia, and bliss but the nature around us!  Creative people reflect on nature. There is something with natural resources that make creative ones make a sigh of regret or relief, not to mention landscape paintings are challenging to create. Of weather we speak of linear or painterly art, these paintings project a soothing and relaxing feeling. It is the same feeling exuded to both the audience and the master creator of the pieces. If so, then this explains as to why these arts are the most patronized among artworks for sale.

Speaking of the challenge in creating landscape paintings, making a replica of one’s surrounding is not as easy as it may sound. There apply the technique to make a piece something that looks like a spot people want to go to. Depth is what makes landscaping painting realistic. Some objects need to look farther than the other foreshortened items in the image. Highlighting and shadowing plays a major component in creating landscape painting. It adds drama to the totality of the composition.

No wonder why among artworks for sale, landscape art hits it big time because having one is a combination of many painting styles.

Revisiting the Classic


From contemporary art, let us now revisit the classic. Originaloil paintings that caught the attention of many scholars are no doubt originated from the art genius themselves who lived during time where knowledge was most sought and geniuses from different fields arose challenging the traditional views of religions, most especially as that of Christianity.

Leonardo da Vinci in the field of Arts while we name Newton in Science as few among the geniuses in the old times whose names are until now carried on not to classroom lessons alone but even in films and books.  The famous Da Vinci inspired novel which was adopted by a catchy film that grossed to millions of dollars cannot deny the fact that people became obsessed with Newton’s code that led the way for the heir to reveal herself.  Among the many high grade paintings that this Earth has ever produced, Mona Lisa claimed the fame in this modern time. Yes, it was famous before but who would ever thought that during these years where contemporary art is expected to overshadow what is classic, the original oil painting of Mona Lisa reclaimed its fame once again. We are not so sure if it is the Draconian Devil that triggered its revival in this contemporary time or the code from the Petruvian Man or just simply because it is Da Vinci’s Feminine Sacred and nothing else can beat that.

Traditionally, wall paintings are expressions of faith. As we know, they became renowned as artworks from the reign of Roman Catholicism. So mostly, during those times, you would see depiction of heaven and all the figures that dwell in it like angels fighting over good and evil. And because this faith also believed in the presence of Satan trying his best to conquer what God has created, many wall paintings, as well, revolve around related subjects. And yes, all these high grade artworks, even those that may seem very anti-Christian in meaning were unquestionable. The depiction was subtle and message was yet to be discerned as opposed to what at present is considered art that is vulgar, blatant, and message that is too direct where no underlying meaning in depth is to discover.
Can contemporary art revive the depth of the finest of fine arts when it comes to depicting good over evil or vice versa, faith and religion, or the presence of evil on Earth without disrespecting the belief of others? If an artist created Mary Magdalene as a romantic companion of Jesus Christ in is original oil painting, then we can just credit it to imagination, fiction, or just simply creativity. But if out of an artwork created is a male genital stuck in the face of a religious icon, can we still call that art? If the answer is yes, then society needs to exert too much effort to revisit the progress of what is art now? Art is not a direct representation of something.  There needs to be an underlying meaning that has to be discerned. And by the way, to say that it needs some decoding to come up with a meaning can be too much, on the other hand.

Wood for Art


Many people who have a fine taste for furniture are willing to have their plastics ripped off for real wood. There are few that are well-known but there are lot more that are considered rare and exotic and mostly are manufactured as Asian arts or contemporary art and these are real treasures at home. Wood when stained, varnished and laminated makes a simple house to look very elegant.

Yes, there are steel frames where you can have glass over it. As this might look contemporary, this remains second best when we speak of expensive wood with glass stop. Use steel or bronze metals as accents and you just created a sophisticated furniture with bling bling. Sounds hip, right? Western countries brag of their woods from oak, walnut, beech to pine. Country style of interior design is no doubt adopted from United States. Their furniture which can go very white from stained real solid hardwood matched with foams covered in blue-shaded upholstery is America’s very own. This style is identifiable to Western countries.

White furniture is not common to Asian art. No matter how easy they are on the eyes, it is not just wise or practical to maintain white-stained wooden furniture in countries that are not surrounded with snow but dust which when moistened becomes close to mud in appearance. With Asian art, wood frequently goes natural retaining its dark colored, not unless the furniture is laminated or covered with glass then maintaining white- colored furniture will not be a challenge at home.

These wood that are common to most Asian art and furniture are Cherry Blossom of Japan, Malaysian Rubberwood, and a lot more in other Asian countries and the Philippines. And by the way, when we speak of Philippine wood, we talk about luxury. Think of sofa set that are not upholstered. It could even be damaged with scratches already, not laminated, and stained, yet still expect that getting one of these pre-loved furniture will cost one an arm and leg.  How much more if these are polished, brand new, and designed to contemporary style or a collection of antique ones! Narra, for instance, is not just rare nor exotic but can only be found in the Philippines. Furniture and artworks made of narra are exported and patronized by the wealthy outside the country.

These classy and elegant wooden furniture when placed inside the house with wall paintings as sole company and well selected appliances that are contemporary or latest model in style, features, and design will comprise an elegant minimalist touch in the home interior. Artworks for sale that you see online of whether contemporary or classic can be matched to even the most antique of these luxury set of wooden furniture. Antique ones do not necessarily mean that the home interior has to look creepy and aged. The key is combination of classic and contemporary.

Furniture and Wall Paintings for Women with Exquisite Taste

Furniture and modern wall paintings are two of women’s love aside from her wardrobe and diamonds. Maybe because aside from that these are used for beautification, both are of value when it comes to price. As we know women fell in love with anything that comes with high price although not as pricey as men’s car but don’t worry we have house to match that.

The value of wall painting gets higher when appraised overtime. This goes the same for furniture of rare real wood and not those that use particles or ply. The more it ages like wall painting all the more it becomes very dear which is far from possibility to afford by average-income earner. Wall paintings that quadruple its value years after are equivalent to antique furniture that is passed on to generations to generations as part of inheritance.

Furniture however compared to wall painting is not easy to maintain. This is why the more it looks like aged, all the more its price shoots up. Wall paintings are displayed on the wall whereas sets of furniture are used. They are set on the ground where people are in motion as opposed to an artwork hanging as home wall art. Yet despite of the a priori mentioned fact, wall paintings are much more delicate than furniture made of real wood where you can just simply sand it down for wood staining and re-varnishing as part of its makeover. Wall paintings’ re-touch, on the other hand, devalues the artworks. Wall painting is more valuable when it is untouched which means it is well-preserved and maintained and requires no repair or clean up because even minor clean-up can tarnish its dry pigment.

Valuable wall paintings and high-end furniture are eye candies to women, at least to adult woman who has upgraded her wants from shoes, bags, and clothes. These two sets when put altogether in a room or space undoubtedly give a feel of elegance and nobility. The furniture nowadays is not just a flat surface where artworks are placed. Furniture as almost all will agree are now works of art and the last thing the owner wants to do is to hide it under linen or put art crafts over it lest that it will scratch its well- crafted and smooth surface. This is evident when you visit a well-designed home interior. You see furniture as the home’s major artworks and the rest that are purchased from shops that display artworks or sale serve as accents only. This is why prior to being attracted to little details in the home interior, women usually eye for furniture first along with its window covers and a well-selected wall art like wall paintings.

Furniture and Paintings are Women’s Collection

When you buy art online, it is not really investment that first comes to mind most especially if it is not modern wall painting. It is always for the reason of aesthetics or simply collection. People have a habit of collecting what interest them. It is like jewelry. Do you think women panic-buy for diamonds set in platinum for investment when the last thing they want is to lose sight of them?

This goes the same for art. Art lovers cannot resist artworks for sale posted online or art sold somewhere in the mall and this is because for mere collection. Although there is this justification for the money spent that one day the collection will be resold, doubling or tripling what was spent on them. This can also be true but there is nothing truer than the satisfaction collecting gives. People have different interests that fascinate them. Collecting becomes a hobby that aside from making the collector satisfied, psychologically speaking it becomes a good stress-reliever, too.  Although, it cannot be denied that art like wall painting is a big money- back after sometime; the guarantee of course comes along with good maintenance or preservation of the artwork.

Furniture made of rare hardwood is another collection among women. These are like wall paintings, too, when it comes to amount that needed to be spent when one desires to have a piece. Women drool over furniture just like how they want diamonds all over her. In collecting furniture, those that are made beautiful but of no value is waste of money. These are the ones that are made of ply or just wood particles. But furniture just like artworks for sale that we see over the net can be cheap or very expensive depending on the materials and on how well they are crafted. With wall paintings on the other hand, it is very seldom that we see ones that are cheap in price. And If we bumped into one, it would not necessarily mean that the materials used in painting are cheap but most probably, the artist is just beginning in his or career or simply put, the creator of the artwork has not made a name yet as opposed to furniture which a piece can cost an arm and leg without considering who designs and manufactures it.

These two, wall paintings and furniture, are women’s collection and fascination for home use. It is innate to women to create beauty wherever she goes. How much more if we speak of her own dwelling!  She will not collect stamps or Hasbro toys just like men do. She makes sure that her collection benefits the home front and making your surrounding comfortable, conducive, and beautiful is for women never a luxury but a necessity. This is why men who cannot respect this fact about women should better live somewhere else.

Furniture is Art

Furniture is considered as art. It is not just modern wallpainting or music that can be tagged as art. Wooden furniture, in fact, mostly is intricately designed with carvings while those with contemporary touch of glasses are shaped and printed or painted.

Those that are posted over the internet as artworks for sale should not be limited to wall paintings and other crafts alone. Major furnishings in the house that largely make up the interior are dining and sofa sets, bedframes, and display cabinets to include TV rack. The rest of what is tagged as artworks are minor accents only although they are considered as valuable items when it comes to price. These are wall paintings, for example. Accents, however, are major determinants of whether the style of the interior is European or that of Asian art. But it would be best too if the furniture will blend with the theme.

If one thinks of Japanese-inspired home and would want to go all the way Japanese to its set of furniture, then you can expect to see tables and chairs that are relatively low as compared to the standard height of other furniture like tables, bed frames, and chairs. If Filipino style is what a person is up to, highly crafted wooden furniture can be best recommended. We talk of aging hardwood here and are indeed very pricey. Those typical Filipino sets of wooden furniture that are pre-loved, damaged with scratches, discoloured would still cost thousands. Have the ones that are upholstered,  licked-finished, and laminated, then you are already asking for an item that will cost you an arm and leg.

When before tables were just meant to be a flat board-like surface with four poles, now they are made to look very stylish yet elegant. The last thing the owner wants to do is to put covers on to it hiding the intricate and artistic details of this piece of furniture which is now a piece of art. We remember our old house with our old dining table which was made to look stylish by putting embroidered or printed covers, not to mention we needed to put a flower vase on the top. And it was only then it was considered as art. Check department stores and furniture boutique or even on websites where people buy art online and imagine the items there placed in your house. With these choices to mix and match, everyone can be an interior designer in their own right. Just put the pieces you grab from the store together and before you know it you already came up with a dressed-up unit without internalizing the fact if you have just created an Asian art inspired house or otherwise.

Shopping for Furniture is another Woman’s Challenge

Canvasing for furniture and modern wall painting can be very exhausting. This is because wherever you look, of whether it is online or in physical store, you have more than thousands of choices. No matter how you categorize your need depending on the space allotment, theme like Asian art style, price, color, etc., choices are just tons and equally enticing.

Furniture makes up the interior of our home.  Almost all rooms in the house need furniture and not just for aesthetic purposes but for its practical use. If there is one space in our home that does not have an urgent need for furniture, then it must be our bathroom. But when it comes to interior designing, bathrooms nowadays have bigger space allotment for furnishing and furniture as well like cabinets or TV rack. The thing is when we speak of furniture, we do not mean small items or objects because even small side tables or console tables consume too much space in the house.

The most confusing part of shopping around for furniture is that most of the time, you will shop for the one that looks good neglecting if it suits the theme or style of your home. ‘ Say you have a house that is Mexican-inspired but when you went online or you went to visit different boutiques, you saw this beautiful Japanese dining table and choosing the one  that fits the theme of your interior would mean buying the second best. No people would want to buy the second best. We want to get the first choice that fits our budget. 

So for homemakers or for homeowners who do not hire professional interior designer, it is very seldom that the house interior theme is strictly followed. Most of the time, you’ll see collection of art pieces from different locations. And when we say art pieces, we also mean to include furniture. It could look like this: on the top of a lazy boy is an Asian art wall painting just very close to rich drapes which prominently look Victorian. Yet overall, the interior still looks great.

This is what makes shopping around for furniture exhausting not unless you will limit the number of boutiques to visit. If the home interior is Asian, might as well visit Asian art shops alone. This could be wise, practical, and time-saving, but not very womanly. As we know, women get attracted to an item they initially saw but they have this attitude of canvassing for more until there are no choices left. After exhausting all the options, they go back to what they first saw. This is where interior designer comes to front. They are attached to their project more and less to the owner whims.

Oriental Window Treatment aka Wall Paintings

If you are looking for modern wall painting online, better give the art piece a second to third glance because before you realize it, it could be oriental window treatments that are posted in the internet. This is true. Window covers to be mistaken as wall paintings are not far from possibility anymore, especially if we are talking about oriental blinds.

As we say, window covers are not anymore considered as shield protecting us from the intrusion and scrutiny outside the home front. They are not just security of our privacy when we want to just stay inhibited or relaxed at home; neither their sole purpose is to protect us from ultraviolet rays of the sun but are now more descriptive to give our home interior a more pleasing view.  Browse through the net and find Monalisa, if not laid on a canvass, on a bamboo or sticks closely knit together to create a surface. If you are tired of her on your wall, you can just roll it up and roll it down once again if you are in the mood to meditate on DaVinci’s piece. Monalisa is not the only renowned work of art you see painted in oriental blinds you can even have Vitruvian if you are lucky enough to secure one.

What the above-mentioned are just examples of window covers aka wall painting for windows. You can find different designs from portrait to landscape for less than 20 bucks each. But for one who is not up to anything like this, nothing is better, classy, and stylish than to just get plain, plaid, stripes blinds with real wall paintings as premier wall art décor at home. The point is window treatments are not just covers but works of art, too. Your wall art and curtain, drapes, or blinds should blend together to give your desired effect of beauty at home. If you want your home interior to look busy, you can have printed or painted blinds plus wall paintings and stylish mirrors set above your console table.

Oriental mini blinds can be of bamboo materials, matchsticks, or shoji paper roll up. From the sound of the materials used, we already know for a fact that these blinds are of no doubt Asian arts, Chinese to be specific. This can be patronized by western or Caucasian people who crave for Asian culture in their own home setting. Those along with Asian wall paintings can be good contributors enough to create an oriental feel at home. Even non-Asians cannot deny the fact that Asian ambiance at home exudes a unique feel of relaxation.
