Beauty is in the Eyes of the Beholder
Greetings and Welcome to our on-line Galleries of Exclusive Fine Art Collections. Art is like Beauty and "Beauty is in the Eyes of the beholder" therefore, it appeals to each one of us differently. Most of us buying fine paintings because they impress upon us an emotional appeal in a most personal way that is uniquely different than it does to others. Therefore, no one can make a decision for us when buying Art because he or she may not share our same emotional or artistic point of view. On the other hand when we have partners who share these same values, it is such an exuberant and satisfying experience. Thus, to enjoy and to satisfy our emotional values for Art which has much long lasting effects upon us, we should listen to our own artistic instinct. It touches us uniquely so because it may teach us something invaluable, or remind us of a place we've been, an emotion that we have experienced or fond memories and fantasies that we once had....
Decorating Our Homes - Creating a Theme
I often heard similar comments from couples who just invested in some beautiful Oil paintings for their homes. They exuberated "after we have them in our home, we feel so good whenever we come home. We both feel as if our home has been "upgraded" with such beautiful and valuable masterpieces of fine art." As I often advised my Art students, "listen to your heart when it comes to Fine Art, but follow through with a theme of your own, one that suits your emotionally well-being, and accomplish this theme by fulfilling your artistic dream." While most Artistic people do have a strong inclination of what and how they want their home decorated, studies have found that up to 89% of married couples did not professionally decorate or know how to decorate their homes appropriately. Of the 11% that do, 8% of them hired interior decorating companies or feng shui designers which leaves only 3% decorated their own homes professionally (some of them no doubt are architects or interior decorators themselves). This may be a surprising statistic result, but when we think about it, it is rather a simple deduction. Since decorating a home beautifully takes a trained interior decorating professional and because most people are not trained in this field, they often don't know how to decorate their homes effectively. Secondly, hiring a trained interior decorating professional would cost them additional fund, therefore most couples don't even bother. They ended up just doing their best-effort jobs which often result in clashing styles and colors and left their homes without any themes.
Balancing Our Spiritual and Emotional Well-Beings with Our Surrounding Environment
What most couples don't realize is that their emotional and spiritual well-beings are the direct result of their surrounding living environment which includes everything in their homes and their workplaces. Secondly, they don't know that the cost of interior decorating services are partly offset by the buying power of the designers. Therefore, most homeowners often save on the cost difference between retail and wholesale pricing of materials bought for the house which most interior decorators would pass on to them (their service fee therefore is partly absorbed by the saving of the materials). However, the most profound and positive result is whether a design would bring a balance between your emotional, spiritual and your physical well-beings. These are the net effects of an effectively designed home that we should aim to achieve. The calmer the painting depicts the better solitude and balance one would experience.
As a full service Art Agency, we can help you. We consult and work with you in order to come up with a personalized and beautiful theme(s) for your home. We fulfill your emotional and artistic fancy that is an integral part of the architectural and interior decorating theme for your home. Our expert interior decorating designers are working hand in gloves with all the suppliers and our artists to create a personalized theme just for your home and/or your work.
In the course of our Feng Shui practice, we often visited many beautiful homes and to our surprises, we find that those half millions to several million dollar homes were often decorated without a specific theme or poorly executed themes yet with many low-price reproduced paintings or worse yet, glass framed posters of original Artworks that not only speak unfavorably about the values of the artist's work, but also degrade the value of the owner's estate. This huge disproportion in value between the low-price reproduced Art and the expensive home inadvertly degrades the owner's estate and works in reverse to the homeowners' wishes.
Therefore, whenever original Fine Art is involved, we should listen to our own Artistic emotional instinct, learn about the Artist and his work, and most of all, not letting the price dictates our decision (as the old saying "you pay for what you get"). It is nothing worse than hearing people remark "this couple owns million-dollar home but they decorates their home with cheaply reproduced Artworks."
It is perfectly OK when we can't afford Fine Art but it is another matter all together different when we settle for paintings that lack originality and degrade the value of our home. Therefore, let your emotional appreciation of Fine Art flows and consult an Art professional to provide you with ample collections of valuable Art. Experience tell us that because most couples couldn't visualize how things are going to look like in their homes because they lack of sample materials, they couldn't come up with any specific theme for their home. Therefore the results are often clashing designs under one roof. Read up about the Artist, about his works and let the experts help you in the selection of valuable Artworks and let them help design a theme for your home.
At AAI, we are committed to bring our customers and Art collectors artistically and emotionally-rich Artworks. As a courtesy, we offer our customers professional interior decorating consultation at no additional cost. We offer these services as a complimentary gift to everyone who invest in our Fine Art. At the same time, we provide free Art appreciation and training workshops to our retailers and wholesellers - we explain the techniques employed by the artist in the creation of his artworks, their impacts and effects on our soul and spiritual well-beings. Our main purpose is to escalate artistic appreciation values to our clients and to their homes. We allow the force of laisser-faire and open-market competition to bring down the cost of the Art, but we will not undersell the estate values of our clients' homes nor the artistic values of our Artists' work. This is the balance and harmony of our practice and we treasure our commitments.
Exclusive Original and Limited Editions - Oil On Canvas Masterpieces
This is our pledge to our customers and to our member Artists. The optimum choice for seasonal Art collectors is in original Fine Art Oil Paintings and Brush Paintings that connect us and provoke our own emotional values while at the same time mature gracefully and valuably with time. The best choice for customers with economic considerations is Artist Proofs and Limited Editions. And for feng shui values and gifting purposes, our special and unique Metallic Etching Art that not only reflect beautifully under different viewing and lighting conditions but also carry meaningful Feng Shui values (see eMotion Art). For example, the metallic etching Artworks that are in high demand are the Nine Kois, the Lady of Devotion, the Beach Garden, the Kiss of Gustav Klim, and the Guiding Light, etc. These beautifully reflective Artworks offer highly unique and quality Art at an affordable pricing for the mainstream customers and the commercial decorating channels such as interior decorators and high-end home decorating and furnishing centers.
As far as interior decoration is concern, we share a common belief of the Art Industry experts that "the value of a home or office is greatly enhanced with only a few paintings, each of significant artistic values instead of many of little value".
In the following pages, Take a Gallery Tour, we'd like to invite you to embark upon a personal tour of Galleries of Master Collections. We trust that you'll witness many artistic testimonials to this practice - exceptional masterpieces that enhance the flow of vital emotional and spiritual energies (hence, the "e" in eMotion stands for enhancement, while Motion is the flow and movement of energies) and symbolize Harmony, Strength and Serenity.
