Introduction – Our Home, Our Art, Our Personality

Our home is our safe space, a space we always wish to come back to, a space where we see ourselves living forever, a space which we want to make a certain way, to reflect who we are, to build who we are and be comfortable where we are when we come home. Don’t we want the best for our homes? The best house, the best built quality, the best view, the best paint, the best furniture, the best décor and the best paintings for home in Bengaluru or anywhere else in the world.

As an artist, I understand that homes always have immense power, on energy, in enigma, in personality and in experience. Why? It is because the people in the home make the house a home and each element in the home cherishes a meaning holding a special place in their hearts. This is exactly what will also encourage them to pick up the right, suitable art works for their homes too!

Why we need to be present and open while viewing art is so that we get to experience it and realise that when for example an abstract painting in ana rt gallery resonates with us, it becomes a potential player to buy paintings for home. What we resonate with, becomes something we experience and therefore our relationship with that abstract painting for sale evolves over time whether it is corporate office paintings or paintings for homes in Bengaluru or around the globe.

Choosing the aesthetic and theme if any

When it comes to curating a collection for paintings for our home, it becomes a personal endeavour, a personal collection which we are curating for, which is very important to plan, pick and put-up. We can plan the aesthetic or pick the alignment based on firstly what we want to put up on our walls and what are the colours in our space or natural elements in the space, for example indoor gardens with lots of plants or one feature wall which we choose to keep in one colour or a particular texture. All factors influence how we feel in a space and so, we must find it important to prioritise the art either aligning with it all gracefully or standing out if not the former, with dignity and appeal.

The aesthetic need not be tangible and physical in its facets alone it can also be a thematic or concept-based aesthetic running across the home or as one wishes to have it in the space. This is where the thematic depth of spaces enriches the narrative even further to create a deeper sense of meaning beyond the perceived on the surface. This could include very simply, for example a rainforest theme, or a space theme or a metal theme, a natural theme, or a geographical aesthetic such as a Kerala style Home or a Japanese style minimalist home or a Boho style Santorini style home and so on.

The important thing is that the paintings for home be present with harmony in the space or a good break in aesthetic in the room to artistically complement the rest of the room if to stand out. The features we give the home such as the ceilings, windows and  doors or stairs in a space can play an important role. The furniture in the space plays a very important role in the space, the sort of lighting, the general interior decoration of the home as well as the personality of the people inhabiting the home makes the home a living amalgamation of all these thoughts being present.

Aspects of Self

There is for sure a biographical mindset associated when we are curating a collection of paintings for home because we would be visiting many abstract painting art galleries, art studios in Bengaluru because we want to explore paintings to buy in Bengaluru. Exploration and Experience is very important in order to Embed a memory in our head about any painting we like, dislike, buy, sell, anything. It is about looking at the abstract painting from our lens at the end of the day and finding that magical moment in which we realise. Apart of us is in there in that canvas painting too. That’s the magic! The magic we all live for, to resonate and experience it and buy the abstract paintings in Bengaluru.

The biographical mindset need not just be associated to one painting. A collection is curated to may such similar and diverse experiences and buying various artists and art types too, such as an upcoming artist, an eminent artist, a landscape painting, a surrealist painting, an impressionist painting, a fauvist painting, a futurist painting, a Lichtenstein painting maybe, a pointillism, or maybe even a classical royal portrait painting. As long as the personality links and enriched or enhances the space with a presence that is projective or resemblant or rather just reflective of one’s personality is much of an awesome offer to any art collector, buyer or enthusiast.

Therefore, just to reinforce that when we buy art, we often maybe consciously or subconsciously don’t see that in a personal collection there is a part of you in very painting which you resonate with, cherish with, emote because of or even weep in front of with gratitude or sadness or feel immersed in or busy of. They’re all functionalities along the same parallel of human perception and human feeling. The abstract painting for sale is just a trigger or the painting for home is just too special.

Aspects of aesthetics on a deeper level

 Diving a little deeper into what people often perceive as just a visual medium with visual language alone, abstract paintings can mean much more intangibly behind the elements technically created. In curating a collection of paintings for home, many factors can come into play such as, lines for a first. As lines have no definite beginning and no definite end like we learn in school, they can be beyond lines in an abstract painting for sale in Bengaluru or anywhere else.

The essence lies in gaining more exposure to viewing paintings with different kinds of lines for example in an abstract art gallery in Bengaluru or going to fairs or flea markets or art festivals to see paintings for sale in Bengaluru. Thick lines can hold weight in our eyes, feel heavy while light lines organically feel lighter, though they could feel sharp too. Lines shorter like hyphens have more potential with density and movement rather than that of medium or probably longer lines in scope and space.

What comes next in curating a collection of paintings for home is, textures. Textures play monumental roles in conveying a feeling and creating a narrative with levels of relief, flow, focus, movement and rhythm exactly like how lines for the same just in a very differently unique way. There can be no looking back once there is an active texture engaging a viewer and connecting them in a sensorial way where it is so appealing that they keep focussing on the nature of the texture and enjoy the experience of feeling with the eyes.

When it comes to colour next in curating a collection of paintings for home, there can be a spectrum of thoughts as there are for colours. Some prefer monotone, while some prefer monochrome, while some prefer gradient and some, strong solid colours and so much more in terms of colour preferences. Technically there can be any aspects of temperature that are not only elements to be felt in temperature physically but also in an inherently cohesive manner room to room.

Let’s take an instance of a home where each room features one colour and its variants. One blue room, one mustard room, a green coloured room, an orange room, a maroon room, a white room or a beige room for example – each room needs to be given that character be it the furniture, be it the lighting, the décor with objects, artifacts and same for paintings. When the room have navy blue walls, a sky blue painting would look gorgeous and still appeal along with harmony whereas probably a splash of bright lemon yellow on a white canvas would put one off the foot and keep it flamboyantly out there in catching one’s attention. It is all in a preference – personal preference.

That is exactly why colour becomes one of the most powerful ways to reflect your personality in the home, a way to create comfort, a way to create ambience and energy for sure in a space so special and sacred. Scale too plays an important role in determining how art reflects one’s personality because in a small room, a painting as big as a wall can be extremely immersive and at the same time a small painting on a big wall like a series of miniatures for instance can be a beautifully intimate, close-up viewing experience.

Next in curating a collection of paintings for home is A style for the home is more to do with the uniqueness of the space and all in a a space, any objects or the architecture or the art. There could be quirks and characteristic features involved in any way in order to create that memory for people visiting and that recall value. This fully depends on a sense of personal style that stems from the people, in order to shape ethe home. That is only the most authentic way to choose a style based on a personal taste rather than going with say a temporary trend or a certain rulebook aesthetic to stick by and so on.

Quantity of paintings or Quality of paintings or both?

After we look into these aspects and have an idea of what we want, what comes next in curating a collection of paintings for home is the battle of quantity and quality of art that we want in our personal art collections of paintings for our home whether we are picking it up at events where abstract paintings for sale in Bengaluru are available or in an abstract art gallery in Bengaluru.

Investment is always about whether with say a thousand rupees I want to buy ten things worth a hundred rupees, twenty things worth fifty rupees, five things worth two hundred rupees or two things worth five hundred rupees or just one worth a thousand rupees. It is really as simple as that once we know our purchasing power, our tastes and preferences, our inclination towards more quality or more quantity or a middle ground between the two at an economical bridge price for investment.

Having said that, on a tangible front as far as the consequential facets of quantity vs quality go, let us map out some scenarios. There can be one where in one room I want a wall full of paintings that are small in size each but go upon the wall as a series to be immersed in and close-up engaged with. While probably for a double height ceiling living room, I would want one bog painting that immerses and binds the space together harmonising with the colours of the space. It depends, even on the artists we choose to have, the price point we are willing to buy at as well as the type of art we are planning to buy such as abstract paintings or realistic paintings or sculptures and so on.

The aim or objective of what the personal collection of paintings is going to do for the home therefore becomes very important which is why there is an emotional disparity until the end, about where to stop for many collectors or art enthusiasts as usually, more art makes them more happy. Curating a collection of paintings whether assisted by an abstract art gallery in Bengaluru or picking up paintings for sale that is paintings for home in Bengaluru or globally for that matter, is about planning placements of the work, foreseeing the fundamental vibe or energy that they will create in the space is crucial.

The consequences of placing art or putting up art in the right places makes a world of a difference when planned fully with accuracy and insight because it ties in the way the person wants it to, to bring out the energy needed adequately.

Exploration and Value

Knowing more to choose form more becomes very exciting whilst curating abstract paintings and art in general. Art exhibitions in Bengaluru, where paintings are for sale in Bengaluru in abstract art galleries in Bengaluru can be of immense value both in investment and impression. As we see more artists’ paintings in Bengaluru for sale, we realise there’s much more than we thought, to view, experience and understand then resonate and choose form to put in our homes or offices.

As we go to more exhibitions, interact with more artists, art lovers / enthusiasts, collectors and many more creative or knowledgeable people, we learn more and get to know more about why art impacts people so much and how it means so much to people who are so invested in the abstract paintings. Attaching meaning to something we make or something we see can become increasingly special as time goes by since it is always a memory we think about or remember and there is an impact and reflective quality an art work comes with especially in the case of a non-figurative form such as abstract painting.

The multiple ramifications of meaning and memory continue to matter most to us as a people and when curating a collection of paintings for a space so special as our home, it is only natural that we will want to put up paintings that resonate with us so much that we will willingly look at it and feel the energy on a day to day basis. Evolving with time and deeper relationship in dialogue established.

There can also be an amalgamation of historic periods in an art collection for example an impressionist painting in one room then a cubist painting in another, an abstract expressionist painting in another and then maybe a contemporary art work mixed media in another and probably an upcoming artist with an absolutely new sensibility in another to create a diverse, chronological as well as a mixed variety of art styles in the art collection.

The evolution of a collection and a space too happens over time and impressions for visitors too will change over time when they see the relationship between the people and the art get deeper and more special over time. As a contrary to planning and placing works in specific spaces, there can also be the case where one may want to change and rotate the works across the space in a home to experiment with how the paintings feel in different spaces for diverse experiences and maybe an experimentation works out for the better with the abstract art galleries paintings for sale as well bringing in new works into the collection from time to time.

Personalities are not only of people therefore, paintings too have personalities and when the personalities meet at a point which mostly in non-verbal in nature, the sensibilities align and find a place in eachothers space. The nature of art that one invests in is highly telling of the people that they are and what they connect with. That is why empathy when we like the same artists be it in any field is easy as a point of connection.

There is a certain purity and sanctity that arises from the aspects of what we feel about a work of art that finds a place in our home. That purity in the personality of the equation between the painting and person only gets to a deeper thriving stage as the engagement increases and the aspects remain non-verbal for the most part anyways which is what makes these impressions and impacts even more special.

Abstract art galleries provide great lens to find out what abstract paintings are for sale and also paintings for sale in general be it landscape, portrait, semi abstract, still life and so much more. It is important that we take informed decisions when it comes to curating a collection of paintings for home as paintings for home are the most precious paintings we will ever choose or buy.

Paintings for home therefore can be of many types and can service varied preferences across a plethora of creative options. It is therefore super important to remain diligent in choosing the most suitable paintings for home and taking as informed a decision, as possible about paintings for sale in Bengaluru after exploring everything possibly suitable for us on our own as well as through exhibitions in abstract art galleries. So let us explore, experiment and curate a collection for our home with special paintings for home
