One of the questions I wanted to find the answer to was why some weird artists sold for thousands if not millions of dollars, while the majority of artists were not of interest to those top art collectors/investors. It’s shocking and sad and frustrating but it is what it is. It took me a while to convince myself to make it public. I was afraid to be misunderstood, explaining shady money laundering schemes.

Andy is a self-taught Australian artist who established his art business in a home garage in 2013. Now he produces artful skulls in 4-6 releases a year and manages a crew of 15 people to make and ship art globally! He sculpts his original pieces by hand combining various materials such as clay, acrylic paint, and cinema-grade urethane resin to resemble various surfaces and textures that include skin, bone, steel, and stone. Andy borrowed the term ‘Jack-of-the-dust’ from the Royal Navy of the 1800s. These were ship’s assistants who worked in the dusty bread storeroom. In the interview the artist explains his connection to the term and how it relates to his brand name and work. The vanitas theme was one of major topics explored by artists throughout art history. The depiction of a skull, coffin, hourglass and dying flowers often illustrated the impermanence of human life in paintings. The skull served as a reminder of inevitable death in art. Yet, it has another meaning for Andy, which he eagerly shares in this interview. The artist gives his reasons why art is important. He also shares his views on AI art.

Or you feel drained after visiting a party? Most artists I know are highly sensitive people including me. Our sensitivity lets us feel deeply to create beautiful art but it can also devastate us, bring pain and suffering. Instead of looking at this personality train as a weakness, let’s explore the advantages of being sensitive. We’re going to do a deep dive into the psychology of sensitive people and how we can calibrate our gift of sensitivity to be the best versions of ourselves. Video: https://youtu.be/XTcOvjqkyWo Highly sensitive people: who are they? Written by Mariya Shiyko, PhD, creator & owner of Joyful & Creative Living | Instagram & Facebook Definition: Highly sensitive people (HSP) are those who feel everything deeply and have a very deep inner life. They: · Can’t watch violent films or shows and they avoid reading or staying informed about the violence · Get tired when they spend a lot of time in noisy and high-stimulation environments · Can’t live without self-care. If deprived of it, they can have a break-down or engage in unhealthy behaviors · Enjoy art and often are very creative themselves · Get overwhelmed by stress and, in fact, try to avoid stressful situations · Feel deeply and tend to be more spiritual, philosophical, and empathetic, caring about the world The upsides: There are many upsides for the HSP. In many ways, they are gifted — and can be spiritual, creative, smart, and charismatic people because they can sense the situation without any words. Imagine that someone knows what you want without you even telling them. They care about the world, feel its pain, and want to improve it. They often go into caring, teaching, and serving professions. The world is a better place because of them. There is about 20% of HSP in the general population, and they are equally likely to be men and women. Although, for men, it might take longer to discover that, since there is still a very high stigma of sensitivity and emotional depth. The macho culture is dying very slowly. Differences: There are physiological and neurocognitive differences between HSP and non-HSP — information is processed differently, the stress response is activated at a different rate, and emotions are accessed in a different way. If you are interested in learning more about HSP, you can read this book by Dr. Elaine Aron “The Highly Sensitive Person: How to Thrive When the World Overwhelms You.” There are more reading recommendations in references, at the end of this blog post. I want to discuss, however, four topics relevant to HSP: Self-Esteem & Self-Acceptance For HSP to develop high self-esteem and self-acceptance, parenting has to be uniquely tailored to their needs to “be heard and be seen.” This is unlikely in many situations. Given that emotional intelligence has been only on the rise in the last decade in the USA, and most of the world is still lagging behind, the likelihood that HS children were acknowledged and not judged for their emotions is very low. In fact, they might have been shamed for feeling in a specific way and not given an opportunity to express themselves if their experience deviated from the “expected” or the “norm.” In such conditions, HSP might grow up with feelings of ‘SOMETHING IS DEEPLY WRONG WITH ME,” trying to fit in into the normal way of being and not fully finding comfort there either. Solution: · Understand that you are not alone. 20% of the population is a substantial number. You are not a minority. Normalizing the fact that HSP exists is part of the solution. · Self-parenting would be a big component of your healing journey. You will need to learn how to self-parent yourself while being an adult. This means: recognizing your needs for extra time off, quiet time, self-care, and anything else that your nervous system needs to feel safe and, more than that, — flourish! · Educate yourself to recognize needs, desires, and mostly strengths because you have lots of unique strengths that other people don’t have. · Express your needs in relationships but don’t expect that people will remember them forever — you will need to keep reminding yourself and others about your needs. · Forgive — your parents, bosses, and others who might have not recognized you as an HSP and created unbearable circumstances in your life. This will bring your peace and sanity. Emotional intelligence is still on the rise, and mental and spiritual health awareness is still in its infant stage of development. The general population will need time and education to catch up. Relationships It is fascinating that HSP might fluctuate between really enjoying social interactions because they bring them joy, depth of experiences, and an opportunity to contribute to this world. On the other hand, the sa

In this podcast episode you’ll meet with a family of two art collectors – Steven Alan Bennett and Dr. Elaine Melotti Schmidt who established The Bennett Collection of Women Realists® in 2009. They focus on collecting art of a specific art style. Their collection consists of figurative realist paintings of women by female artists. By amplifying voices of the female artists, the art collectors hope to bring balance to the art world. Steven Bennett and Dr. Schmidt established the Bennett Prize and gifted $12 Million in art and cash to build a new wing at the Muskegon Museum of Art in Michigan dedicated to the female artists. What’s truly admirable about this couple is their will to go against the art market trends. They’re carving out their own path in art collecting that has clear purpose and social impact for generations to come. Art to collect: gender equality If you think that women artists are equally represented in the contemporary art market, think again. Art history is dominated by male artists with very few female artists presented in the permanent collections of art museums today. (This is in part due to the absence of education for women artists before the 20th century. Women artists of the past were educated by their artist fathers only). In the past decade, only 11% of all work acquired by the US’s top museums was by women according to the New York Times report in 2019. Women artists represent only 2% of the art market & only 13.7% of artists represented by commercial galleries in Europe & North America are women according to Repaint History website. “Just 11 percent of all acquisitions and 14 percent of exhibitions at 26 prominent American museums over the past decade were of work by female artists. According to a joint investigation by Artnet News and In Other Words, a total of 260,470 works of art have entered the museums’ permanent collections since 2008. Only 29,247 were by women.” (Museums Claim They’re Paying More Attention to Female Artists. That’s an Illusion. Artnet, September 19, 2019). “Work by female artists born between 1930-1975 accounted for just 5.3% of the $16.7 billion in auction sales in the past five years.” (Young female artists are finally getting some art market traction- but their predecessors remain scandalously undervalued, Katya Kazakina, July5, 2022) “Artists of color, female artists and members of the LGBTQ+ community have been historically underrepresented in the traditional art market. A white male artist will sell more works, for higher prices, in more exhibitions than his less-represented colleagues, and he will have less of a challenge obtaining gallery representation. The system is decidedly undemocratic and arbitrary and appears to be run by an elite who are, primarily, white male painters. Just one comparison out of many possible examples demonstrates the problem very well: when Jenny Saville’s Propped sold for $12.4 million in 2018, it became the most expensive piece of art by a living female artist; Jeff Koons’s Rabbit sold for $91 million. So far, so similar, in the NFT space…” (Magnus Resch, “How to create and sell NFTs-a guide for artists,” book published in 2022). These stats are improving at the top tear of the art market only in 2022. Artsy has just published what sold at New York’s Spring 2022 Auctions, which includes sales of Anna Weyant (the protégé of Gagosian himself), Maria Berrio, Ewa Juszkiewicz, Flora Yukhnovich and more.

Do you know the difference between fixatives and varnishes? I invited Ed S Brickler, Technical Consultant from Chartpak, Inc. to explain the common mistakes artists make varnishing their paintings. Visual artists who do acrylic, watercolor, pastel, oil painting and drawing will learn how to varnish and protect art from UV light and deterioration using proper techniques and materials. This episode is available in a video format on my YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/1hRe8VYLres If you’re confused about using your materials or don’t know which ones to buy, a good rule of thumb is to contact the manufacturer. There are many brands that produce both fixatives and varnishes – Golden, Winsor & Newton, Grumbacher, Gamblin, etc. Also, many companies keep their own art blogs and educational videos about the use of their art supplies.

Colored pencil drawing by Tanja Gant I’ve been following Tanja Gant’s art for many years. She is one of the top hyperrealist colored pencil artists working today.

In this episode you meet with a beautiful soul and amazing realist artist – Michael Hlousek-Nagle. Inspired by nature, classical music, Roman civilization, Egyptian art and archeology, the artist depicts personal space of solitude, quietness, introversion and hope. His canvases are female portraits set against dark, mysterious landscapes. Moody, solitary figures are caught up in self-reflection, yet embody strength and intelligence. Beautiful and often sensual women live in a quiet, dark space. Michael’s realist paintings exhibit masterful color harmony and visual balance. The artist lives with his wife and two children in England. Michael Hlousek-Nagle, Sibylla, charcoal and chalk on paper, 29x42cm We chatted late in the evening in the beginning of November 2021 with a 4-hour time difference between Florida and England. The connection was really bad and parts of the recording were lost in space for good. However, salvaged parts of the interview were beautiful. Michael is a very kind human being who opens his heart up talking about the oil painting technique, his world view and how his creativity flows to produce art. “Since mankind began making marks we have used art to tell the story of what and who we are, and of the world in which we find ourselves, and however fragmented and distorted our world may now be, however many innovations and techniques painters have at their disposal, it is still essential that artists use their work to allow us to see ourselves, to tell the story of us, and not merely the story of art.”Michael Hlousek-Nagle Michael Hlousek-Nagle, And I Alone was Saved, 60 x 76cm Born in Cambridge in 1971, Michael Hlousek-Nagle grew up in a small farming village in the English countryside near Oxford, and spent most of his childhood exploring the fields and forests. His early interests did not include drawing or painting, instead he wanted to pursue a career as an archaeologist and was drawn especially to ancient Egyptian history. His first foray into art was an attempt to turn his bedroom into an Egyptian temple by decorating it with life-size figures of Osiris, Isis, and Anubis. The artist studied and graduated with a BA in Theology and Religious Studies at the University of Leeds, but did not know what he wanted to do with that qualification, and after drifting aimlessly for a while he was forcibly pushed into studying Art by a friend who apparently knew him better than he knew himself. He received a William and Mary Armour Award studying for his BA degree at the Glasgow School of Art in Scotland, and won a scholarship to study at the New York Academy of Art for his Master’s degree in 2002. His work has its roots in the techniques and strategies of the western figurative tradition, drawing inspiration from the paintings of Balthus, Goya, Paula Rego, and Zurbaran, among others, and contemporary artists – Amaya Gurpide, Jordan Sokol, and Rasha Alem. In 2004 Michael was a set-designer for a new ballet, Shambards, by New York City Ballet’s choreographer-in-residence Christopher Wheeldon, which premiered at the Lincoln Center in New York on May 4th 2004, and has also been performed at the Saratoga Festival. In 2005 Michael produced a set-design for a new ballet to be performed by the Royal Ballet, Covent Garden, London. Since 1998 he has received many commissions from private collectors, and his work is currently in private collections in New York, Seattle, Geneva, Paris, Vienna, London, Edinburgh and Glasgow, as well as the permanent collection of Glasgow School of Art. Between 1998 and 1992 Michael was commissioned to produce cover artwork and photography for a series of 7 CD releases of the music of internationally-acclaimed composer James MacMillan. One of Michael’s paintings has been used as the cover artwork for an Italian edition of the international bestseller “While My Eyes Were Closed” by Linda Green. The artist exhibited art at Galerie Kohler in Geneva, Blackheath Gallery, Three Colts Gallery, and Medici Gallery in London and in a number of galleries in Glasgow. The artist is represented by 33 Contemporary art gallery in Chicago. Contact the artist: https://www.instagram.com/michaelhlouseknagle/ Reach out with questions or topic ideas @ Veronicasart.com .

Each of us sees the world through unique lens and that’s why we all have varied perception of reality. Limiting beliefs and negative thinking are based on our past experiences, social conditioning, family habits or painful memories that override positive experiences. Usually limiting beliefs run inside us when we interact with others. Limiting beliefs can be very loud in our head altering the conversation, emotions and choices we make.
