About the Painting

The artwork "The Old Church" by Anatoli Gostev Jr. carries a touching story. Painted in 2006, the inspiration came when the artist’s family bought an apartment in Plzeň, Czech Republic. There, they learned a tragic yet moving story of a Yugoslav couple who had previously lived there.

An elderly blind woman lived in the apartment, cared for by her loving husband. They had no children of their own and often brought joy to the neighborhood kids. After her husband fell ill and passed away, the woman was left alone — blind, grieving, and heartbroken. For half a year she mourned in silence, filling the apartment with sorrow.

One winter, she made her way to the Orthodox church in Plzeň, always closed to the public. There, she stood in final prayer before the old church she could not see. Then she took a rural bus into the forest. She walked into the snowy woods, collapsed, and passed away. The artist dedicated this painting to them — lives he never met, but whose presence he deeply felt, through the words of neighbors and the atmosphere of the place.

The painting’s formal title is "The Old Church", but Anatoli Gostev Jr. signed the back as "No Name" — because words could not capture the essence of the story.

Accessible Entry — Painting Slice Price

For convenience, the canvas is virtually divided into 48 slices of 25 cm² each (5 x 5 cm) (40cm × 30cm = 1200cm²; 1200:25 = 48), and each Art Slice is offered at just $150 USD. This makes art investment participation accessible to all. The full painting is valued at $9,600 USD in auctions and future sales. We guarantee the price of a single slice will not fall below $200 USD.

Investment Slice Limit

The Gostev family, as the painting's owners, retain 25 slices, with 23 slices available on the open market. This reflects our commitment and forms the basis of a fair partnership:

• We are invested in collective success.
• We benefit from our own Art Slices’ performance.
• A controlling share (>50%) determines ownership and serves as a safeguard.

Art Dividend Payout

After the painting is sold, profits are distributed proportionally to the number of slices held.
For example, if the painting sells for $20,160 USD (post-tax), each slice earns $420 USD.
If an extra zero is added to the sale price? It’s simple math: the more slices you own, the higher the dividends.
