Topic: Original Artwork for BTC (Read 203 times)

ok no problem, I'll do that. But do not think I have any wrong with the people on the forum or the BTC. It's just my opinion.

That's a vindictive way of seeing things. Just because people find your artwork extremely expensive (something I very much agree with) you then proceed with attacking the very philosophy behind this currency.

Yes bitcoin is volatile and prone to fluctuating rates and as such the price can rise and drop unpredictably. Why would you advertise your artwork here in exchange for bitcoin if you see no security and stability in it? If you don't believe in it, then you should approach Sotheby's or Christie's and ask them to auction off your artwork.

You are deluded if you think art always gains value. "Always" is the wrong word. Some artworks are worthless and might command a few dollars at most. Some do have value but they are those created by some renowned artists.

If you see your art as one so valuable, you shouldn't sell them. Keep them because, in your own words, they always gain value.

There is no need to mock people who find your prices absurdly high. It may not be a Van Gogh or Picasso but it's still expensive, given they are unknown artwork. Try selling them in Bucharest at those prices. Update us here if or when a buyer actually gives you that much money.
 

So, as I was saying  , BTC has no security and stability. how much the price has fallen  .

now I'm not sure I would sell art for bitcoin. Art always gains value, currencies only for a while

good luck 

Hello there. I personally have no need for physical are, but have you done or at least considered the possibility of creating and selling digital art? There is a bigger market for it on the internet as it can have many more uses than just showcasing and decorating physical things. For example, you can use digital art as wallpapers, screensavers, backgrounds, website headline, etc. I personally buy digital art rather often from artists for some of the websites I manage as well as for my own personal use in the aforementioned ways. Also, depending on whether you are selling a copy of the art or the license to it you can even sell the same piece for a lower price to multiple buyers. While I am not a create myself, I still believe you should consider this possibility. There are many art portals you can start selling at online.

http://artindex.ro/ acest site romanesc  a creat o platforma unde apar toti artistii din romania, just that there is an update to the latest activities,exhibitions
http://artindex.ro/2013/09/15/cirstea-dionisie/ you need to translate the page because it appears only in Romanian

As a fellow artist, I respect your confidence, but you have to understand that people here are looking at art as an investment, so more proof of the value can only help you - do you have a website or a link to a wikipedia page to show your experience, or maybe some press links about the exhibition in your country?

Thank you for the appreciations 

I love art and work a lot in this field, it is my universe.
Maybe you will have the opportunity to see the next project in the country to you, I'm preparing a large exhibition.
But I'm not trying to get famous, some auction houses speculate on my work.
My art is for everyone.

I just want to give an example, artist Piero Manzoni, he sold a 30 gram of cans containing his excrement for the equivalent of 30 grams of gold
https://s31.postimg.org/c72ru86yj/a98781_worst-art_1-artist-shit.jpg

How much does gold cost now and how much it costs to conserve "Artist's Shit"

That's why I value my work, I want to grow naturally going from one point to another, not to be stimulating from outside

I draw/sculpt as well, and I like the idea of offering a possibility to exchange my work for coins like btc, ltc, eth...
But, honestly I think amounts you're expecting to get are too high. I know this is subjective thing, and I have zero intentions to devalue your work, in fact I like the Mannequin piece but $110k is crazy high unless you are extremely famous and people will pay not only for artwork but for the prestige to have your piece in their collection.

Anyway, nice work and nice idea. Good luck with it.

I see the bitcoin as an instrument, he can grow in value or fall, or even disappear.
In other words, it is a virtual instrument that has so far gained a fairly large value.
Nobody knows what's going to happen with bitcoin any further.
Art, regardless of its form, can not lose its value, because it is an idea. It is not only part of our life, it is life itself through the idea and imagination  of each  artist, which feeds us spiritually.

 I am the artist Dionisie Kyrstea and presented you my artwork

but you've heard about auction houses speculation, and other schemes ? see this " the great contemporary art bubble " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36VrSN0iGZ0

So by comparison with some artists who sell the art of millions, for various reasons, I have formed a fair price for my art

Its impressive art, but the price is..really high...

I'm not famous, but I have the status of artist, by certifying art studies and active participation in international exhibitions, salons and biennials.
Today, no longer true to become a famous artist after death, because every artist is an entrepreneur of his activity, famous artists have a back team working on promotion and image.

It is very complicated to make a fair price for an artwork, many people wonder why it costs so much or who you are.
I'm besides being an artist, I'm also an entrepreneur, I'm not just selling the image, selling the idea, involving the talent, the technique my style ...

I believe in what I do, I believe in my talent and my ideas. Any investment in my artwork will help me grow and develop projects that will make me famous

Are you famous or something? I have a hard time believing art made by anyone non famous can just command over $70k. Many artists work didn't even have value til long after they passed away

Mannequin
This art installation comes as a continuation of the ”Odalisque” project, which was designed and created so as to bring into wiew different social issues and aspects of life in which it concentrate moments and experiences in their variety of expression.
”Mannequin” came into being while observing the world of modelling, a field that is barely or wrongly understood by some people. The concept represents the outlook on this problem, which takes shape through various elements.
The woman’s bust and the erotic don’t mean to suggest one gender (masculin or feminin), but the mannequins’ sensitivity and their beautiful side involved in this activity. The prominent traces of welds  have been created to suggest the negative aspects which take place into the modelling world, exploitation and defilement of the body and soul, for chasing fame.  
The black colour implies better this aspect, representing the extreme gestures which some of the actors of this environment recur to. The warm area of the bust’s interior is not there by chance; we want to outline the warmth, the light and hope which exist in each of us. In other words, even after many sufferings, we should look  deep within ourselves and  not allow the beautiful and hope to die away.

Functional Art

The Sovietic gas lamp from 1977, partially refurbished, suffered some changes, which represent my own perspective of how this object can be brought back to life, even more, to have a new feature and also to find its place in the homes of every art and beauty lover.  
The gas lamp was changed into a lighting body with an on/off switch applied on the small lid which once was used to access its gas tank.  Another change, namely adaptation, is represented by the fact that a potentimeter was applied to it, and the action way is found again on an element which is part of the lamp, therefore it is on the small wheel  which once was used to adjust the flame, higher or lower. Now it has the same usage, but in change of the flame there is an edison light bulb which can be used up to its maximum capacity or at a soft light.  
All of these changes were made so they can use the lamp’s own elements, therefore its identity was not at all dented.  The only element modified through a hole on the lateral part of the body is a double socket with USB , slightly visible, but which blends into the concept in a harmonious way.
The lower part made of metallic elements (washers) applied on a cast design, previously sculpted and then welded together, is aiming to create, apart from support and harmonious continuity, also the ambiance. Ambiance suggested with an LED component furthermore.
The upper area, the bust which is the main attraction for the eye of the viewer in the first instance, was created from metallic elements (washers), applied and then welded together on a cast design, carefully carved into the smallest anatomical details. This body, besides washers, also has a mechanical chain applied to the spine so as to imitate the mannequin's position more accurate in this hypostasis.
Through the shape given to this body, the neckline and the upper free zone, the position of the shoulders and breasts, the dynamics and harmony have been outlined.
The presence of the metallic elements (the washers) in the artwork is based on the fact that the main purpose, through the holes that it presents, was the flooding with the light flow, which the holes easily make way to it, regardless of the environment in which this artistic concept appears.
