However, there is also a less known or traditional but very special and unique way to please those we love the most, and that is: giving the gift of art.
Art makes us more sensitive to the world and, here, I am talking about a book, a photograph, a movie, a play, or even a painting or print. Art adds a lot to our lives and often marks an important event that we will never forget, because through art we can express our deepest passions and concerns, and if the work is good, it can trigger a wide range of feelings in the viewer, as well as shock, reflection, and analysis. Before giving the gift of art, consider the following:
IT IS UNIQUE
Giving an object that only you or a few others enjoy is a special feeling.
IT IS A GIFT THAT LASTS
Others get spent, broken from use, or end up being thrown away the same day you give them because they are probably food or drinks. However, a work of art will be in your home forever and you can even pass it down to future generations.
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT YOUR GIFT WILL APPRECIATE
Yes, you never know if you bought from the artist who will be very famous tomorrow and who will go down in history. A clear example of this is Van Gogh, who only sold one painting in his lifetime. Well, his Portrait of Doctor Gachet (inspired by a doctor who treated him in his final days) sold for $82.5 million. Today everyone is fighting for one of the 2000 works he left behind. What luck for the person who bought his only painting back then!
IT IS A SPECIAL GIFT
Giving the gift of art is not an easy gift because we have to think about what we are doing, think about the person we want to surprise, the colors they like, in short, it is a gift that your partner will know you took the time to go, think, and buy that special gift.
IT HAS MEANING
You can find artists who have a lot in common with you or the person you are giving a gift to. For example, the artist may be from the same city as your partner, and that will make them feel at home when they look at the artwork.
IT CAN BE PURCHASED ONLINE
Nowadays, it is very easy to acquire almost everything online, which makes things easier for us. It is no longer necessary to go to physical stores, especially now that we are going through the pandemic. With just one click, you can choose the artwork you like, buy it, and wait for it to be delivered to your home.
