As a young artist Alexei Zimin could sell their work

Paintings for many artists – daily bread and at the same time. Buyers are not always willing to spend on contemporary art of the amount in excess of $ 1,000. The young artist Alexei Zimin, meanwhile, successfully selling their work at prices prestigious auction houses, never having been in them. About the secrets of their success Alex will share with readers.

Determining the true value of the canvas

According to Alexey, the artist, first and foremost, must respect themselves, their time and costs on each job. The artist exposes for sale is not more than 1 picture per month, and buyers are quickly – but they are not and just choose.

That advises Alex in the formation of the price pattern:

• Determine the value of the week (or month, year) of his life. The amount you need for a specific period of time will be the benchmark price. Depending on how much time you worked on the canvas, adds to its value.
• Work on your name. Alexei Zimin – is already a well-known personality in cultural circles of the capital and Russia as a whole, he leads an active lifestyle, participates in exhibitions and attracts investors. Fame – your ticket to the contemporary art market.
• Count the costs of development and marketing. So Zimin determines the residual value of their work – that art has become profitable to consider is the slightest waste.

However, the main secret of success remains the popularity and the name of the artist, as well as to follow the current trends of art. Alex strongly encourages novice artists to raise the prices on his paintings, because paintings – not a necessity, connoisseurs might prefer the more well-known or cheap masters of the brush.

Zimin says that his first works he sold for a pittance, but through participation in major exhibitions and permanent appearance in the media and at meetings of cultural figures, Alex successfully earned the required status. Excessive overpricing for novice painters reduces the chances of selling paintings to almost zero, even if the work is talented.

This is not to say out loud

In the course of communication Alexey Zimin announced an interesting idea: selling paintings at auction price physically necessary and artists, and art in General.

“the Trend of devaluation of art has become especially acute with the development of high technology, photography, Internet. It's simple: young artists prefer to work for a pittance in advance, killing our future as a culture. In the future when they want to get a decent payment for their paintings and their customers will not understand and will not accept changes, and will be looking for cheap work, as before. And you will find. It's a vicious circle, there are always young talents willing to give the paintings for a pittance. In the future such gifts would have to quit painting, because you earn it, they can't. I recommend all the artists in the modern cultural community to unite and stop this shameless devaluation of our work, in which is embedded the soul», - says Alexei.

However, Zimin warns novice creators about the dangers of Commerce art. In most cases, clogging your head with thoughts about potential earnings, the artist deprives himself of the opportunity to build and create. To be able to maintain the balance between survival and creativity – this is a real art, according to Zimin.

Alexei Zimin now exhibits his work for sale, not understating prices. To see his work and buy one of them, contact him and his assistants via his official website.
