Why consider original art when A.I. can produce an image of something that resembles a thing you are looking for? According to L.M. Sacasus, «The aura (we perceive when we view art created by the human hand) is not a property which adheres to the artifact, rather it is something that emerges in dialog with another person. The work of art is a medium: it mediates consciousness. The aura of a work of art is what we sense when our humanity, our personal nature perceives another speaking to us through their creative endeavor, however rudimentary or complex it may be. The aura is the echo of intention only another person can perceive.» I think the fact that another thinking, living person, with intent, desires, and unique creativity, decided it was worthwhile to spend time, our most valuable asset, on creating a message, is the key to why humanity is drawn to art. The message may not always be clear- and sometimes that is intentional. The message may be a suggestion like «See this beautiful tree; look at it with me, and just for a moment, share my delight in its presence.» When you purchase or win the auction for this painting you will also receive a Certificate of Authenticity, signed by the artist. Original art is a great investment but don’t buy my work for that reason- buy it because you love it and you want your house to look classy. My house is so full of paintings it looks like a museum and while I’m not saying the look is for everyone it does work for me. 🙂 This is a quality oil painting painted with traditional methods. It is an original oil painting and is sure to increase in value as my paintings become more difficult to acquire. Frequently Asked Questions When is payment due/expected?
