Gallery M&Art agents history begins with a physical private gallery in Lund in 2012 and later in Ystad, Sweden that Marcus Carlsson owned for five years. Gallery worked with contemporary art and many talented artists asked about promotion because they didn’t know how to be more recognizable, to sell art-works, and to communicate with collectors and galleries. This is the starting point of his mission to help out other artists with promotion.

That's why I love working with art.”

5 reasons why choosing your clients will help you sell art

By The Artist Entrepreneur Club

©

Dear Artist Entrepreneur, People often tell me that I get results because I’m not selling art. But if I was trying to sell the membership of the Artist Entrepreneur Club to an ice cream maker, well, I wouldn’t get many results either. In the case of art, it seems a bit more difficult to target, because anyone might like art. Actually, when selling art, you must target precisely, because not everyone will be interested in your artworks. If you do not target precisely, and be clear about why you are helping these people by selling them your art, then you are going to waste a considerable amount of time, which you could spend creating art instead. Who would like to do that?

Identifying the clients you will target should be part of your strategy. When establishing a strategy for your art business, you will identify what has worked well in the past, and what hasn’t.

You will then decide to repeat the techniques which have worked and to leave the ones which have been unsuccessful. In the same way, you can analyze what kind of clients you have been selling to well, and repeat the action of selling to the same kind of people.

You should also leave the people who you have been unsuccessful to sell to. If no one has got in touch at all, it means that you need to be more precise or to change your target.

I think this is the number one reason why some artists are struggling to sell art. Because they are not promoting it to the right people. Being precise requires work, and it can be a scary thing to do. If it’s hard for you to go through this process, rather think about the result you will get by putting this work in.

All of this to say, I know it sounds like hard work to target your clients correctly, but in the end, it will bring you the results you are dreaming of. Let’s now get started with the 5 reasons you should target clients precisely.

1. That’s the fastest way to start a strong sales conversation Targeting clients doesn’t mean changing the art you are creating.

It means promoting it in a way that highlights well why the clients you target will be attracted to your art. All business owners have values. That they are right or wrong is another subject.

As an artist, your values are present in the artworks you create, so it might actually be easier for you to identify them. There are two ways business owners can connect their values and their clients. The first option is that a business owner could decide if he wants to serve a certain type of people, and therefore identify how they can help them. Or, a business owner, like artists, can have a product ready and then find who it will help. In any case, what you are selling and who you are selling it to are not separated subjects.

For example, if you are creating colourful paintings, you cannot try to sell it to someone who likes their flat all white and black (good luck trying to sell a colourful painting to my grandmother whose flat as white as a dentist cabinet - although dentists are always looking for paintings to make their cabinets look more colourful, FYI! But not my grandmother.).

Therefore, if you are not promoting your art precisely for the clients you are trying to sell to, and if you are not selecting the right clients for your artworks, you might be wasting your time trying to sell art to people who love having their flat completely white.

The thing is most artists think that showing the art is enough.

It’s not. It was enough in the 19th century when you couldn’t get known another way than letting an art dealer take care of the talking. It’s not the case anymore. You have to say that your paintings are perfect for people who love colourful paintings, and you have to explain why as an artist you are creating colourful paintings.

Buying, in general, is related to emotions, and in the case of art, you can make this double. You have to share with your audience what emotions your works are shaking in people, so your clients can identify with them. Your art isn’t about all kinds of emotions. It’s about specific ones. Because people have different ones, people who share these specific emotions will relate to your art. The good news is that there are enough people on earth sharing similar emotions for you to make a living from it.

Therefore, make sure that you are addressing yourself to people who can relate to the themes present in your art.

On certain types of social media platforms like Instagram, you can’t decide who will follow you. But you can make sure that the information for the right buyers is present. On LinkedIn though, as we said in this week’s challenge, you can identify who you connect with, so it’s very important to make sure you select people correctly, so you don’t waste time connecting with the wrong people.

2. You are not narrowing possibilities, you are creating possibilities I have mentioned in the previous paragraph that people feel all very different emotions. There are billion of people on the Internet. Billion of people who might visit your website. Billion of people who might see your profile on social media.

However, you have probably noticed that not all of these billion people are actually coming onto your website or social media

©

gallerym.se

accounts. Neither are they visiting mine, that’s not a critic!

That’s because although we’re all online, we’re still all very different and we need very different things. If you are not getting interaction or visits to your website, it might be because you are not targeting precisely enough.

By targeting precisely, you are avoiding the possibility that no one recognizes themselves in what you are proposing. It is scary to fully reveal what you intend to say through your art, because you feel it might repeal someone. But when you feel that, it’s a good sign that you should highlight this information. The people who are more likely to understand your art, will relate to the values you are sharing. And you don’t want the people who will disagree to listen to this anyway. If they disagree with your values, it probably means they were not going to buy your art anyway.

Let me give you an example. Your art could be about homeless people and how scary it is to be homeless. You would then decide to target people who have been working in associations, or maybe people on charity boards. The values you will highlight would be solidarity, friendship, loneliness, despair, hope. The themes would be homeless people, proving food and a roof, and as a result, you might be creating dark abstract paintings. I’m making up this art practice, but let me know if that makes you think of a specific artist! There might be people who do not care about homeless people (yes that happens), but they love dark abstract paintings or the value of friendship. Although they do not correspond to all the themes and values in your practice, they will be interested in some of the themes and values you have clarified.

See what I mean? By being more precise, you create more possibilities for people to connect with your artworks.

I’d like you to take a break and do this exercise: identify and write down what are the values and themes in your art.

3. You are helping your Facebook and Instagram ads to target better By targeting people correctly, these people are going to spend more time on your website and on your social media accounts. If you install a Facebook pixel on your website, your Facebook ads manager will make a note of the kind of people visiting your website. Therefore, when you create an ad on Facebook or on Instagram through your Facebook ads manager, the ads platform will know what kind of people are visiting your website and spending time on it. By creating a lookalike audience on your Facebook ads manager, Facebook will be able to identify what type of people have visited your website and will target more people like them to show your ad. So by targeting your clients precisely, and attracting the people who are more likely to buy from you, you are allowing Facebook to identify more people susceptible to buy from you when you send an ad out.

This is so important! How do I know this work? I make it work for my own business!

4. It will help you be more efficient when creating content That one’s simple! If you are targeting precisely and talking to that one person you know would be more likely to be interested in one of your artworks, then you are not going to talk about a million different values and subjects. You are going to talk about the values that matter to this specific person. I would advise that you list these values. Start with five of them. Then, think of one way of how each value appears in your artworks. Write a caption or a quote about it. That will create your content for 5 different days on your social media and maybe one newsletter.

By being precise and writing to one type of people, you also save time creating content and creating more chances for this potential client to buy. You are saving time when preparing the content, and

gallerym.se

you are saving some time to And I’m not even talking of the time you are saving which you would waste if you were not being focused. As we say, a confused client isn’t a buying client.

5. Creating content for specific people actually works: you should appeal and repeal.

This is how it works. You cannot please everyone and your artworks cannot please everyone either. It’s true in our real life, and the online world is no different. Therefore it is important that you identify who likes your works, and why. The why is the elements that you are going to highlight in your artworks, so the people who purchase it are absolutely clear that they have understood that this artwork suits them, and for what reason.

Being clear will also avoid wasting time with people for who your art wouldn’t be a good fit. If your values aren’t clear enough, there is a risk that people who are looking at your art and contacting you, are not understanding quickly that they are not a good fit. Witnessing that some people look at your art and are going away, is a good sign. It means that you are clear enough on who your art is for, and what it is about.

It’s important that you acknowledge that when you are selling art, you are not only getting money in. You are helping people who are looking for art. People are looking for art for different reasons, and you are providing them with art. So even though you are selling a product, remember to acknowledge this, because you can use it in your marketing: you are helping your clients. By knowing who you are helping exactly, you will know how to help them better, because you will know what they need. If you are offering a better service, you are way nearer to getting sales in, than by trying to sell to everyone, and not understanding why your sale was successful.

Oleg Nourpeissov was born in former Soviet Union; studied arts at the Design of Public Places Department of The Gogol Art School, Alma-Ata; entered the Monumental Painting Department at the Saint Petersburg State Academy of Art and Industry; employments: art teacher, designer of public places; grounded own enterprise in monumental design of public places in Saint Petersburg; grounded own enterprise in design of private and public places in Skinnskatteberg, Sweden; cooperation with Europe Art Selection, Paris, numerous exhibitions nationally and internationally; member of the National Artists Organization of Sweden, member of the Swedish Artists Association, The artist has studied and practiced art from his young years all through his life both in former Soviet Union, in Russia and nowadays in West. The base of his artistic approach is figurative art where all his knowledge and experience are coming to use. This is the instrument he possesses and uses to express himself. In his opinion there is a clear trend in the world’s contemporary art to put an idea before the ability to depict reality truthfully. He believes one part do not necessarily need to exclude the other.

His goal is to create an art where both parts are included and coming to their maximum expression. He learned and practiced plenty of different techniques both in painting, drawing and monumental arts. Nowadays he works mostly with easel painting and sculptures in official environment. His works were exposed in many countries and are represented in private collections and galleries internationally. He donated his painting "Johannes the Baptist's Vision in the Desert" to the Swedish church and a sculpture "Eternal Metamorphosis" to the city of Skinnskatteberg, Sweden.

The artist wants his paintings to contain all he can, everything he learned, all he achieved, all his thoughts, ideas, feelings, and desires. He wants his paintings to be a music, a haiku poem, a philosophical treatise. Then he put in all this a good pinch of humor. He loves when people laugh or just smile at his paintings or fall in contemplation. The artist wants people to see the divine in every smallest simple thing surrounding them for that is also a part of the Universe. He wants his every painting to delight and be a small long-lasting monument in the honor of Art, a little contribution to the cultural progress and prosperity.

A personal quote: An artist is one who can take a bit of mud and make of it something humanity admires for millennia.

What was your first experience with art? What made you want to become an artist?

While a child I was often alone at home. Reading books, painting and drawing were my favorite ways to spend time. Results of my creative passion generated numerous positive reactions in the surrounding. In my early ages it was clear - I was supposed to become an artist – a privileged and highly respected profession in the former Soviet Union.

Are there any key themes, messages or theories behind your work?

I want my every painting to contain all I can, everything I learned, all I achieved, all my thoughts, ideas, feelings, and desires. I want my every painting to be a piece of music, a haiku poem, a philosophical treatise. Then I love to put in it a good pinch of humor. Love when people laugh or just smile at my works or fall in contemplation. Love when people see the divine in every smallest simple thing surrounding them for that is also a part of the Universe. I want my every painting to delight and be a long-lasting monument in the honor of Art, a modest contribution to cultural progress and prosperity.

Anastasia Strizhkova, member of Professional Union of Artists, Russia and International Artist foundation. Owner of Alpen gallery, Germany and founder of ArtSalesMaster.

Once when I was a kid I got expelled from art school. I was interested in painting nature from a young age and my mother sent me to painting classes when I was 7 years old. However it revealed that I was absolutely not able to paint on a given subject. We had homework tasks to paint still-life with clay pitchers and apples and illustrate fairytales that I didn’t like. I stubbornly continued to paint landscapes and flowers. After 6 months I’ve been asked not to attend classes anymore.

Thus my artist talent has been forgotten for 25 years. Later I graduated as an economist and worked in an office as a financial manager for 6 years. On some level I had a feeling that it’s not my way. I just quit my last job without another job lined up and started my own plant business.

gallerym.se

It was more creative work, we performed phyto design tailoring our plants into existing interiors.

I used to manage sales, marketing and PR on my own. In this way I figured out exactly what things are really working in this field.

On the very first day of the PR campaign I got a call from our first big client and the following day we already signed a longterm contract.

At the time I was travelling a lot and kept on finding myself. I went down into wild caves and took underground photos, I was skydiving and even visited shamans in Peru to have a magic jungle drink experience. And at some moment I happen to be in Alpine in the summer indeed. I’ve fallen in love with mountains, green meadows and clouds laying low over the ground. I just knew that it’s my home and started planning to move to Germany.

First 3 months of resettlement goes in touristic mode when you’re getting excited about everything, trying local food etc. And then you face real life. My relocation coincided with childbirth, my education and my business experience had been useless in Germany.

Everything was different here. So I got really depressed.

And here comes exactly the type of divine providence. I remember that day very well, it was 15 January 2016. I came to the clinic and spotted an oil painting on the wall. It depicted mountains illuminated by the sun.

gallerym.se

I was deeply impressed with the artwork and I’ve just suddenly understood that I’m able to paint something like that. I took a photo of the painting, came home and started to google oil painting lessons. In this way I found my first teacher, Igor Sakharov, and began to study with his video lessons. Literally in two weeks after I came to Moscow to take personal classes in his studio because I found face-to-face methods much effective.

Back home I started to paint one artwork every three days. My neighbours walked by my studio that was located on the ground floor. Once my neighbour knocked on my door and asked if she could come in and look at my artworks. She wanted to buy one of my paintings. I set a price, 200€, and she agreed with no any hesitation and went to atm. This was how I realised that I could sell my paintings as my main work.

So I chartered a plan for one year. I considered selling paintings as a business process, figured out a marketing plan and sales plan. Main points of my plan were

1.

Participate 6 international exhibitions

2.

Set up solo exhibition

3.

Sell 20 artworks

4.

Get an art prize or win a competition

5.

Paint one artwork each three days and improve painting skills

6.

Reach out online selling in Instagram

gallerym.se

I set a specific timeline, started monitoring upcoming exhibitions and painted artworks specifically for it. I held my solo exhibition in a gallery on Chistye Prudy street, Moscow, Russia in August. I learned how to organise events and how to promote exhibitions. My artwork took third place in American international art competition and I received the cash prize. A bold and ambitious plan that everyone was laughed at in the beginning actually worked!

I opened my gallery in 2017. I was looking for a space with good traffic located in the city centre but it was worth it. As a result of this search a gallery was opened in the heart of Oberammergau, Germany. As it turned out I didn't have enough of my own artworks to fill a whole gallery. For this reason I started to sell other artists' artworks.

I write my story specially for beginning artists that mostly might have gone through doubts. You may get outstanding results in only one year when you have a detailed plan. Today’s opportunities have opened up a great many things. You can set up all processes online and even become world.wide famous with your Instagram or YouTube channel. This we’re going to talk about next time.

Why you start work has an artist?

From a very young age I liked to draw and paint and began to train in different disciplines related to art, then I studied design and later studied with some masters of the plastic arts.

What do you select your subject matter?

Observing nature and all the wonders it offers to our senses.

How do you create one of your works / What's unique or unusual about your technique / process?

I start from the observation of elements of nature and carry out a process of abstraction of them emphasizing color.

I work applying a lot of layers and glazes and sometimes I alter the color schemes in an unconventional way.

Did you begin with this style or was it an evolution?

In my artistic work there has always been evolution, which is manifested, not only in long periods of creation, but in the development of a work itself. When I work on a painting, a dialogue is produced with it, which generates dynamics that make the work evolve.

How would you describe your work?

Here I must differentiate between the painting process and the result; as I said before, when creating a work, I start from the observation of natural elements and carry out a process of abstraction with an emphasis on color; As for the result, it is there and it is up to the viewer to get an idea of it.

On the other hand, I like that my paintings awaken pleasant feelings in the viewer.

Do you learn from criticism of your work?

Of course, as long as it is a serious and argued criticism.

How has social media affected your work?

The creation process has nothing to do with social media; these can simply be a means of promoting the work and communicating with different actors in the artistic environment.

What's your future plan?

By the end of this year there are a couple of exhibitions in Europe and a solo show is being planned for next year; and of course continue painting.

Bianca Turner USA

Why did you start working as an artist?

I always had corporate managerial jobs which required a lot of work and dedication from me. My only way to recharge my batteries, to meditate and relax was through the painting process. Sometime, at the beginning of 2001, while I was also enrolled in a PhD program, I found the time to start to create. It was calming and peaceful.

How do you select your subject matter?

I am usually attracted by nature and everything that is colorful.

However, many times I get inspired by one single word, a catchy phrase, a quote or an article I read online. My paintings come from my daily life, societal issues and my surroundings. From all of the subjects/themes I pick, I try to extract the abstract ideas and reflect them on my compositions.

Explain how you create one of your works. What is unique or unusual about your technique/process?

I might be the only artist who starts painting on a canvas by writing down the story of the composition instead of making a sketch. The sketch

gallerym.se

is always in my mind. In many cases, I found myself making a quick graph (of functions) with two variables (x,y) to represent my abstract idea so I won't forget it until I would have the chance to create that painting.

I think that everything in my mind can transform from economics and science into some form of art because for me "art is the definition of infinity".

Did you begin with this style or was it an evolution?

My styles are continuously evolving. I can't say that I have a style, yet because I am still working at becoming better in everything I do. My modus operandi is to discover more and more of my artistic inclinations with every painting I make.

However, from the beginning, I was attracted by the bold colors and I stayed with a vibrant chromatic palette in the majority of my works.

How would you describe your work?

My work is lyrical abstract. In the past, my imagination was flowing on the canvas. Currently I live with a sense of discipline and I feel the importance of practicing hard. My creative

process has changed, moving into a phase of awareness and maturity. My work is extremely influenced by nature; the universe and biology interact with the spiritual and virtual world. I believe that society is greatly affected by the close relationship between people and artists or those who work in the world of art, not only for the legacy we leave to posterity but also because each artist can inspire and educate the audience, as well as the future generations, even those on power, by relying on issues that are affecting our society.

Do you learn from the criticism of your work?

Since I was a coach, a mentor, and a leader for so many years when I worked a regular job, I learned to take the criticism in a 'better way' and not in a 'bitter way'. Taking and giving feedback was one of my daily duties. Since I became a full time artist I was looking to receive feedback and criticism for my work. I welcome it and I appreciate it when

someone takes the time to browse my online gallery, to check out my work on social media and guide me, teach me and advise me with regard to improving my artistic skills.

How has social media affected your work?

Social media remains popular with artists because it helps us to show our art around the world. I personally use Instagram a lot because it was extremely lucrative for me in getting a lot of international exposure but also connecting with galleries, art communities, other artists and

potential buyers. Since I made a solid presence for myself on social media, my motivation as an artist was also boosted and I started to look at my artistic career from a different perspective.

What is your future plan?

Besides becoming a better artist and painting for the public's enjoyment and my own satisfaction, I am currently mentoring other emerging artists and I would like to continue to help as many people as possible to achieve their dream of doing what their passion is. In addition, since in our city (in Los Angeles) there are many children who are extremely talented but have limited financial possibilities, I would like to continue an art project that I started with them before the pandemic hit. Also, I am planning to get involved in working with several charity organizations where art can make a difference in the community.

In the future years, I already have several exhibitions scheduled around the world in art galleries and museums.

Tell us a little about who you are and what your origin is; how did you end up in Sweden?

My name is Kurdi Kara, and I am from Kurdistan.

I am a screenwriter, an actor and a stand-up comedian. I made it to Sweden in 1997 out of a misunderstanding. I was planning to move to Germany due to a lot of unrest that was taking place in Kurdistan; however, my dad changed the plans a week before my departure. He came to me and asked me if I would want to go Sweden instead. I was so happy with the news that I understood him saying Switzerland. I am Kurdish from the Turkish part of the country and Kurds have no rights to learn and speak their native language in school. I studied only in the Turkish schools and in the Turkish language, Switzerland and Sweden are very similar names. I knew nothing about Sweden and therefore, I misinterpreted my father's words. When I arrived in Sweden, I thought I was in Switzerland. When I was in school, I learned German as the taught foreign language. So, when I came to Sweden, I was a guest of one of my father's friends and his wife was Swedish; but I was sure that she was from Switzerland. I started speaking German with her, assuming that she knew the language but, to my surprise, she spoke a completely different language with me. Therefore, I thought that she might be speaking another dialect that is specific to Switzerland. I almost started judging her because she was living in Switzerland but did not know the language. It took me four days to finally understand that I was in Sweden and not in Switzerland.

What cultural areas are you familiar with?

I am a screenwriter, actor, writer and stand-up comedian.

When you write your scripts, what kind of message do you want to convey to the viewer?

I always write about past history. I mostly use a comedy language when I write movies and sketches. I came to Sweden all by myself, at five years old, as a hidden refugee without any family and/or friends. The message I try to convey to my audience most of the time, is to be strong to be able to fight loneliness, and even when you fail, because that can happen, you should always be capable to move on.

When you write your poems, is it just the feeling that you have for the moment or is it deeper and an afterthought?

The feeling is important, because you want to implement it to

the reader. But that is not enough. I get inspired quite broadly by everything, then I create a story and a character to the feeling. Sometimes I see the whole story of my poem in front of me, then it becomes very interesting to read the whole poem. Next, I get the feeling of the poem and the formation of a persona; then comes the life of the hero (the main character) of the poem.

Now that it's the Covid-19 Pandemic and almost all cultural activities are closed, how should one survive when working in cultural areas, such as painting, photographers, sculptor and more? Do you have any good advice for this?

These are really difficult times for all art workers. We became very limited due to the Covid19 pandemic. This virus has really shown us that we need a second plan to survive; we can sell or market our work through social media, or find a totally new area of employment that can provide us with an extra income if we are forced to stop creating. In the past, I have learned a lot about the stock market and now, those skills come in handy. It is a very important thing to have a broad knowledge in a lot of fields and disciplines because that adds value to everything we do.

On what kind of project do you work on now?

Currently I am working on a comedy series called Cafe B Latte. I am a screenwriter and actor in the series. I also write a feature film script called My Brother.

Carolina Jofré Pita Spain

Between artistic creation and “occurrence 2, there is as much difference, as there can be between the deepest knowledge and supine ignorance.

Since the reaction against the schools that imparted artistic teachings, and the non-distinction between object and Art, (Duchamp Villon "Advance of a broken arm", 1915) was raised at the end of the 19th century, a gulf has opened between this trend and the academicists, the two coexisting without confrontations, (Humberto Boccioni, "Unique forms of continuity in space", 1913).

It may seem incongruous that, to write about the art of the plane, it is exemplified with that of the volume, but the trajectory of the artists of both fields is parallel, although their works are developed in opposition.

Carolina Jofré Pita, is a solid artist, both: training, as well as personal and professional career, in short, we are talking about a serious painter, very serious, in short, an artist with capital letters.

Critics have described her sometimes as an orphist, other times as an expressionist ……. Personally, I think that her painting should not be framed within a certain style. Carolina is one of those unusual phenomena in the artistic field, her works should not be analyzed in isolation. There is enormous potential for study in her global trajectory. Her ideas are as clear as her work, speaking on one occasion about styles, she said: "abstraction is a logical consequence of every investigating artist", (Constantin Brancussi "Sleeping Muses" 1906-1910, "Beginning of the world ”, 1924).

From Carolina Jofré Pita's painting, we could highlight, The solidity of the direct drawing of her with the color-

©

gallerym.se

The charm of her compositions with a logical and unobstructed visual path, with incredibly beautiful solutions for their simplicity.

The sensitivity in the use of color and the cleanliness of her palette.

The security of her in the line, which encourages a vibration difficult to subtract.

The use of ethereal transparencies, which sometimes allow us to see the support of her work.

Her theme is based mainly on the female human figure, although she does not disdain still life and allegories.

From her extensive curriculum, we would highlight her recent exhibition in Florence and the “Oscar de la Cultura” award in that city.

In short, we find ourselves before a painter with a solid training, with an unusual, colorful, sensitive and studious command of drawing, where, observing her trajectory, she enjoys the progression in her work without influences or concessions.

The "occurrences" are left to others.
