For some
people artwork is just a pretty picture to hang on a wall. For me, an
artwork needs to make you feel something, engage you and draw you in. Transporting
you to another time or place and provoking feelings you otherwise may not have
felt. Artwork is a living, breathing
emotion!
When
choosing an artwork for a client I am always mindful of these things. Art is
extremely personal, meaning each person will have a unique take on how they view
a piece of art.

Above is an
artwork I have chosen for a newly renovated Victorian home. The client wanted
to keep the old world charm of the house and bring in some modern takes on old
classics to acknowledge the past whilst still being current.

Being the
focal point of the room the artwork needed to be a statement piece without
overpowering the room. This artwork was painted by the French painter Albert Charles Lebourg and will be a great investment piece for the client.

Framing
your artwork is another important element to consider. To enhance the artwork
and tie in with the period home, I have chosen a broken gold frame. It
complements the colors in the painting and will really complete their room.

The color palette and style of your home will also influence the piece
you choose. In some instances the piece of art may determine the entire look of
a house and become the inspiration for an entire style!
