Please, give credit to the artists
Recently, I often wonder why when people quote an excerpt from a book or poem, they almost always indicate the author, but with paintings (respectively photographs) they have no attitude that it is necessary to do so. Probably because they are “on the Internet”? And this is not at all about the wild and wanton use of the images – over the years friends have informed me that my painting has been used without permission for example as a pattern for a tapestry, or copied one-to-one and for sale, or used in a rendering of interior or in the logo of some apocryphal site. No, this is about the daily…

“Brilliant Ideas” modern art documentaries

I present to you: Freeria
As you may have guessed behind this logo stands a very feminine team: I present to you Eti, Tzveti and Poli, who a few years ago combined their efforts in order to create hand-crafted and painted beauties. I have known them for a long time and I think they have always been passionate about beauty, thus I am deluged to see how the idea for creating and developing their own brand gradually came into fruition. Each of the Freerias has specialized in a different area: Eti makes the bags and does the products’ photos, Tzveti creates jewellery and manages the website, Poli receives the orders for paintings and creates them…
