Consistency is key... to success! There are probably many other keys but this is the one you can bet on that feel within reach for now. Consistency and reliability. But there's room to grow, "you haven't reached your full potential yet" - said Steven Manolis, owner of Manolis Projects Gallery, where I work as a Managing Director. I do mostly Marketing and PR.
This week I need to focus on Instagram Ads... Enough with work, we said this is going to be about Art. Well... It's an art gallery, so it is related. But I probably meant about art in terms of paintings, artists, techniques...
We started working with Rom Agam recently. Magnificent work. He is the son of Yacov Agam (he probably will hate that the second sentence of my description of him is the fact that his father is a major artist. Big shoes to fill). But he is excellent and I don't know the story very well but I think he did something else before and discover himself as an artist later in life.
He does opticals that are playful and intricate. They are captivating and somehow humorous at the same time. Humorous in a very serious, almost obsessively meticulous way. Steven advised him to do something that requires less time so he can sell more. I thought for a second that this strategy will make his work less interesting but clearly there are many ways in which an artwork can show the potential of the artist.
Here's a picture of two works from him, one from 2015, Untitled?. And another one from this year; make specifically for our art gallery.
This is an interesting subject but I don't have to much to say except little chismes from the gallery for now. I am hoping to learn more about art so this blog turns into something educational or at least the opinions have more foundation. Why judging my self already and apologizing in case this is not good? Insecurities. Screaming insecurities... But they have calmed down a little. I am getting confidence in business and in relationships. And it pays off!
It might be something that we develop as we grow and get rid of characters of ourselves that we pick up in childhood and tenagerhood. So many different personalities for one life. "Half of our life already passed", said Aaron. So true and what a painful thought.
I have thought about how much I have grown lately. Please correct that in your head. I think I have learned to trust in me, to trust my talent and establish limits. The coach has been so good at teaching me about myself. Also the other coach, the astrologist (MiaAstral) that pumps me every morning with little nuggets of self esteem that are podcast little episodes. What a genius marketer she is.
I just found a podcast called "The Art Marketing Podcast"... I'll let you know next week if its good. I want to become an expert selling art. I love the environment, the products and everything about it. Can you tell? Jaja (what a weird letter: J, it looks like an f) but anyway. I still wish my english was better and I knew more about art. I promise you I will get there. And I promise you one blog entry a week.
