05 Apr Art as a gift! But what kind?
If you want to surprise your family members and friends on an extraordinary occasion, or special event, a unique photography can be a great choice:
it’s a personal gift, guaranteed to be rarely seen elsewhere, and it will be an eternal memory. But how should we choose a work of art that will truly win the liking of the receiver of the gift? In our article we collected some ideas to ensure the success of the picked photography!
Don’t try to suprise ourselves!
Although the temptation might be strong to choose according to your own taste when looking at the gallery of our offerings, we should rather try to imagine ourselves into the shoes of the future photography owner: if we love loud colors and dominant forms, but the giftee is more subdued and quiet, a sleeker, clean photography would probably be a better choice as a gift.
Think of the fact that the image is probably going to be seen every day, so it should reflect their own personality!
Will it fit the apartment?
Matching the atmosphere alone is not enough: we have probably been in the space already, so we know what kind of colors, coverings and materials are used around the future spot of the photograph. Consider them as well and try to align these parameters with our choice. A simple example: a room with yellow walls would harmonize greatly with a grey picture, but in a red room it would look overdone, garish.
Account for the space!
After finalizing the colour scheme and the form that we find appropriate for our family member, spouse, or friend, let’s continue to think about where the artwork would be placed! For example, if we fell in love with a huge 2×2 meter photo as soon as we walk in to our gallery, think about whether the receiver can provide such a large empty space for the gift, because if not, the interior will feel uncomfortable or crowded. The same can be true in reverse as well: if someone has large, empty wall surfaces, which are not yet covered with anything interesting, suprising them with a small image can also create strange, discordant results.
If you find the process descibed above too complicated, do not worry! Our gallery offers many opportunities: our skilled staff has been helping visitory for many years, and we are also happy to prepare digital renders on request.
