Why It’s Worth Ordering Directly from the Artist

Ordering a painting directly from the artist is an excellent choice for those seeking more than just a ready-made decoration.Such a work is created with a specific person, interior, and need in mind, making it truly individual and unique.

 

Personalised Approach and the Uniqueness of the Painting

 The greatest advantage of commissioning a painting from an artist is the ability to tailor the artwork to your own expectations. You can determine the subject, colour palette, format, style, and sometimes even specific compositional details. As a result, the painting harmonises with your interior far better than a randomly purchased piece. This collaboration also allows you to express your personal taste more fully.Instead of choosing from countless similar decorations, the client receives a work created specifically for them. A painting commissioned directly from the artist is usually one of a kind. It is not a mass-produced item or a printed reproduction, but the result of handcraftsmanship and creative interpretation. This is particularly important for those who value originality and wish to have something truly unrepeatable in their home.Such uniqueness holds not only aesthetic but also emotional significance. The painting can be connected to a particular story, memory, or intention, elevating it beyond a mere decorative element.

 

Greater Emotional Value and Direct Contact with the Artist

 Paintings ordered directly from the artist often carry greater emotional value than ready-made decorations. This stems from the fact that they are created in response to a specific need, idea, or occasion. They can serve as a gift, a memento, or a personal symbol. Such a work frequently remains with its owner for many years. Over time, it ceases to be merely a painting and becomes a meaningful part of everyday life and cherished memories. By purchasing a painting directly from the artist, you gain the opportunity to communicate with the person who creates it. This is a significant advantage, as it allows you to discuss details, ask questions, and gain a deeper understanding of the creative process. This direct contact builds trust and provides greater confidence that the final result will meet your expectations. For many people, it is also important to know who stands behind the artwork. Familiarity with the artist adds authenticity to the piece and makes the purchase a more personal experience. Ordering a painting directly from the artist is an excellent option for those seeking originality, quality, and a truly individual approach. Such a work can be perfectly tailored to your interior, given a personal character, and imbued with genuine emotional value. It is a choice for those who want something exceptional in their home — not just another decoration. Milena Olesińska

Surrealizm w Twoim salonie - rysunek pastelami na papierze

 Gdy w salonie pojawia się rysunek surrealistyczny kredkami pastelowymi, przestrzeń natychmiast przestaje być zwykła. Zamiast kolejnej ozdoby na ścianie, zyskujesz punkt centralny, który przyciąga wzrok, prowokuje rozmowę i zmienia charakter całego wnętrza.

Surrealism in Your Living Room

When a surrealist pastel drawing appears in your living room, the space immediately stops being ordinary. Instead of just another decoration on the wall, you gain a true focal point — one that draws the eye, sparks conversation, and transforms the entire character of the interior.
A surrealist composition acts like a window into another world. The delicate, velvety texture of pastels combined with dreamlike motifs brings mystery, depth, and a touch of artistic boldness into the salon. Suddenly, the wall comes to life — subtle mists, floating elements, hidden symbols, and fluid shapes create an atmosphere that is both calming and intriguingly mysterious.
Unlike typical decorations, a surrealist pastel drawing does not blend into the background. It transforms it. It turns an ordinary living room into a gallery of personal emotions and imagination.
This is a choice for those who refuse bland walls and instead want a space that truly speaks. Milena Olesińska

Jess Collins: The Mysterious Alchemist of American Art

 Jess (Jess Collins) – American Artist

Jess Collins (August 6, 1923 – January 2, 2004), known simply as Jess, was a distinctive American visual artist celebrated for his unique paintings, collages, and drawings. Born Burgess Franklin Collins in Long Beach, California, he later rejected his family name and became known professionally as Jess.

Jess grew up surrounded by literature and classical music. As a child, he read L. Frank Baum’s Oz books, Edgar Allan Poe, and Marcel Proust, while listening to Beethoven, Mahler, Sibelius, and Brahms. He also created scrapbooks with his great-aunt — an experience he later identified as the origin of his lifelong collage practice.

His artistic work is deeply influenced by themes of alchemy, mythology, the occult, chemistry, and male beauty. Jess developed a highly personal and symbolic visual language that stood apart from mainstream art movements of his time.

Notable Works and Series

One of his most important series is Translations (1959–1976), consisting of heavily textured, impasto paintings created in a meticulous paint-by-number style. These works reinterpret found images into lush, dreamlike compositions. Six paintings from this series were exhibited at the Wadsworth Atheneum in 1975.

Jess also created elaborate murals in the late 1950s for the Berkeley home of renowned film critic Pauline Kael. These fantastical, Romantic-style murals still adorn the walls today.

In addition to painting, Jess was a master of collage. He famously repurposed vintage book illustrations and comic strips — most notably transforming the Dick Tracy strip into his own subversive series called Tricky Cad.

His final major work, the large-scale drawing Narkissos (over 6 x 5 feet), is considered a masterpiece and is part of the permanent collection of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA).

Artistic Legacy

Jess’s art is appreciated for its poetic sensibility, intricate detail, and deep engagement with myth and mysticism. Though he worked largely outside the spotlight of major art trends, his work continues to influence contemporary artists interested in collage, symbolism, and alternative narratives.

Today, Jess is recognized as one of the most original and enigmatic figures in post-war American art.

Jackie Saccoccio

 

Jackie Saccoccio (1963 –2020) was an American abstract painter. Her works, considered examples of gestural abstraction, featured bright color, large canvases, and deliberately introduced randomness.Saccoccio's works have been displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, and the Museum of Fine Art in Boston. She received the New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) Artadia award in 2015 and was also awarded grants from the Fulbright–Hays Program (1990), John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation (2000), and the American Academy in Rome.Starting in the 1990s, Saccoccio was known for her vivid and evocative works of gestural abstraction, building on the work of artists like Helen Frankenthaler and Joan Mitchell. Her works, inspired by abstract expressionism and Italian Baroque art, were part of a movement which emphasized adding vitality to abstract painting through experimentation with randomness and paint handling. Jerry Saltz, reviewing a 2007 show in The Village Voice, noted Saccoccio's influences: "Saccoccio's paintings come dangerously close to looking like mid-century abstraction, particularly the work of artists like Joan Mitchell and de Kooning. Yet if you spend time in this show, the old-school quotient subsides and sparks begin to fly."Saccoccio worked with large canvases on which she outlaid "expansive waves and splashes of bright, luminous color", creating fragmented visual spaces.She introduced randomness in her works by pouring and splattering paint while tilting the canvas in different directions.She also transferred paint between canvases, pulled them across, and scraped through dry paint pigments to add onto the randomness.In what has been described as an intensely physical process, she would sometimes press together two large and wet canvases, apply mica for an additional layer of sheen, and at times have as many as 50 layers of paint on her canvas.These actions, and the added bright colors, introduced an additional element of spontaneity to her works.The outcome was highly layered, vibrantly colored, drip-networked, and had large shifting fields of color.

Heinz Trökes

 

Heinz Trökes (1913 –1997) was a German painter, printmaker and art teacher "I believe in the creative in the world and in people, that art will endure and that it is worth living in our century, despite everything. Don’t become timid, don’t let yourself be upset by big talk, doubt, smile, let yourself be surprised, even by yourself, experience our world with keen senses.The terrestrial zoo is large and has room for many species; the higher of them are our good fortune and our comfort. I would like to call them poets, who see our world in a new way, in colours, words, shades and equations, as we have not yet known it, who reveal unparalleled wealth."(troekes.com)
