This four walled space that you call home seems emptier by the day and is closing on you as we speak. The only way to bring it to life is to add colours, layers of character and expression. Something needs to speak to you the moment you step into your home. How about a painting(s)?

Wall-hangings and limited editions are great, but nothing would do a job like a beautiful canvas painting. How long do you intend on keeping the barren walls as they are? A change to add colours to your space will be a fresh start. A much needed one, indeed.

Why should you buy art? Why should you invest in art over other purchases? Let’s find out below.

1. Makes your place a happier place

First things first, happy walls make happy people. A room with just basic furniture and empty four walls standing tall neither appeals to the eye nor does it help with your mood. Adding artwork to these confiding spaces has a positive effect on the people within the environment, which makes life inevitably enriching. What’s the fun of waking up to plain and barren walls each morning?

2.      Supports the greater cause

Secondly, purchasing art directly supports the artist, helping them even further to continue their craft and expand their horizons. The world without art and artists is not a good place to be. After all, the earth without art is just eh!

3.      Exclusivity

Nothing compares to owning an original and exclusive piece of artwork than one of those generic mass-produced ones out there. A piece of art exclusively owned by you. Haute couture applies to art as well.

4.      An investment that appreciates

It never hurts if a piece of art you bought five years ago has increased in value with time. One of the biggest upsides of an investment of artistic nature is it’s ability to appreciate with time.

5.      Ozone-friendly

Paintings are ecologically sound forms of enjoyment. The art on your wall has a zero-carbon footprint! Sustainability should be the way of life. If your entertainment choices deplete the earth, then its time to move to art. One big step towards saving the earth for sure!

6.      Expression and Character

Personal expression and personality is reflected more by a person’s taste in art. You can tell a lot about a person through his choice of art. Art communicates far better than the use of a vernacular can and is simply understood by the means of colours, textures and strokes.

7.      Art Therapy

Nothing helps better with stress like art. Art enhances brain function and mental well-being.  Art can change a person's outlook on life and the way they look at the world.

CONCLUSION

Now that you have a good list of reasons to buy artwork, go help a local artist and help yourself! A picture speaks a thousand words, so does a painted canvas. Speak the unspoken with the help of art.
