Buying Art Online – A First-Timer’s Story!

Picking up Vijit Pilla's work

My love affair with art comes naturally – on certain days it is love at first sight and a deep, nurturing love on other days. Having recently moved to our new home, my husband and I felt that the walls were lifeless without art adorning them. We began visiting local galleries to understand our personal taste better. We were also trying to visualize the look we wanted to achieve through these artworks. There are so many considerations when buying art for a particular wall – dimensions, color schemes, and the theme. We felt lost until Artflute stepped in with its customized options keeping our home in mind. The decision to stick with Artflute was made. We did our research by scrolling through the artists’ works and the price points of the art. My husband fell in love with Vijit Pillai’s works as soon as he laid his eyes on them.

Picking up Anupam Pal's work

Since then, these paintings have become a part of our home, along with Anupam Pal’s works, and we have only fallen more in love with them each passing day. Our friends and family love the artworks we chose for our walls. Art doesn’t seem like an obscure concept, far removed from our daily reality anymore. It seems achievable and interestingly, our purchase of art on Artflute.com was far more personal contrary to the notion of buying art online being an impersonal affair.

Last words from Karishma Walia

Our artwork reflects our personal style and we had the luxury of choosing from over a thousand works before we made a decision, without being clouded by factors such as the fame of the artist or the investment value of the artworks.
