    For more than half a century, the brush in my hand, touching the canvas or paper, reflects on the world I create.

The Legacy of Anatoli Gostev (1946-2022)

I'm standing there, behind the canvas, in my every pictures and talk to you. Successfully or not - it's not for me to judge. This is my language and every time I paint, it feels like the last time. This has been going on for many years. I don't have much time left, and it is very important for me that those for whom I paint — whoever they are — see that I give them all that I have. And I expect the same from them. I like painting and I love to paint. I guess I was born to do this.

Investing in Art

From Art Inspiration to Painting Collecting

  • The inspiration for creating a work of art can be considered an attempt to realize an emotion towards an object or theme, fictional or real. Passed through the prism of the artist's emotions, the theme is formed on a canvas, sculptural pedestal, or another way into something material that speaks to the viewer in a universal language of feelings.

    The need to share emotional reflection with the viewer through painting was accurately expressed by the famous Russian artist Anatoli Gostev: "Art always carries an instinctive character, starting with inspiration. Inspiration for creating a work of art can be considered as an attempt to understand the emotion towards an object or theme."

    Art inspiration

  • The contemplation of an Artwork is an emotional act. Stop, don't talk to yourself, and try to inhale the artwork. The inner response, like a tuning fork, accurately identifies the art object by the "own-foreign" system. As a complement to your world, a work of art can only become one when you feel emotionally connected to it.

    In the next step, try to understand and analyze the feelings that the "breath" of the work of art has caused in you. Check your feelings and thoughts several times, for example, by writing them down on paper. If you find the word "beauty" there, you can start analyzing a possible future investment.

    Artist's Showcase

  • Don't rush into investing in trends. Тhink about what will be pleasing for you to look at. If you bought a painting that you like, you will always have a painting that you like... unlike the shares of a bankrupt company or last summer's trend. Thus, the fact of acquiring emotional contemplation itself is a profitable investment.

    Investment Art

    Looking at the financial side of art investments, you can turn to statistics: 88% of contemporary art and 80% of Impressionism and Modernism increase in price when the owner holds them for more than 10 years, according to Deloitte's report. The total value of assets related to art objects was estimated by Deloitte in 2022 at $2,174 trillion.

    Project for investor

  • Owning a piece of art is unique because of the object's uniqueness. If you invest in an artwork, you will have something that no one else in the world possesses. Consequently, you own a unique source of emotion, and only you have the right to offer or sell it to others for their contemplation and enjoyment.

    A painting is a powerful and elegant tool for influencing a person's mood, emotions, and soul. Why do people buy expensive paintings? How to choose an artist? Where to start when buying art? Create a unique legacy by enriching life with inspiration and value with the experts at Gostev's.
