WHY
BUY ART?
There are many ways to express your personality and art, as well as the way you dress, live or communicate, says a lot about yourself. Just by seeing the decoration of a space, you can sense the style of the person who lives or works there; that is why style is synonymous of personality. So, art is primarily one more way to tell the world who you are.
Diversity of tastes has made art unattainable and that is what makes it magical; everyone can feel identified with art because it is infinite and expresses itself in many different ways. There are people who are more minimalist, others more traditional, classic, modern, contemporary or even a mixture of everything.
Works of art bring together historical, symbolic and aesthetic attributes that make them unique. These are not normal and ordinary objects, and therefore collecting them has an incalculable added value. The fact of having works of art makes that space that previously did not have a meaning
​
beyond what it represents, now it is a place with an original and unique style and this is the key to everything: the uniqueness of the objects. No one else in the world will be able to recreate that space you have created, it is unique and unrepeatable, as the works that make it up. The act of collecting artworks has been distanced and presented as inaccessible.
At Gertrude and Leo, we want to show that collecting is within the reach of all those people who are curious. Taking the first step is very simple, and we assure you that it will be a life-changing decision that will change the way you present yourself to the world. So, if you have ever had the feeling that there is something missing in your home but you have never been able to see what it was, possibly is that it needs to be filled with the art that represents you. We all have artistic preferences, now you just have to put them into practice and fill your home with those pieces that identify you. It is a very personal act that will have an impact on you and change the way you appreciate and present yourself to the world.
_Steps
At Gertrude and Leo we want to help you find the work you are looking for. That is why we want to know exactly what you're looking for, and if you don't know, help you figure it out. Currently, for those who are not art experts or experienced collectors, it is very difficult to know where to go to buy art, how to ask for it and, above all, to know the prices of the works. We know that sometimes it is embarrassing to ask for the price because you always think that they are exorbitant. But this is not always like this; as art is infinite and very diverse, so are the prices. That is why we want to make things as easy as possible for you: you tell us what you are looking for and your budget and we will find it thanks to our team of artists and professionals in this sector.

_Advices
_01
Having a piece of art is more than just decoration. Choose the work that inspires you the most, that you enjoy just by looking at it and imagining it in the space you are thinking of.
_02
Behind every work of art, there is an artist. Buying art means supporting and rewarding the work of a person who has devoted time and effort to it. So, before you buy, learn about the artist; who is it? Is it local? Is it emerging? Is it recognized? Is it groundbreaking? traditional? It will depend on what your preferences are but asking yourself these questions will help you choose why one and not the other. We will always provide you with all the artist's information.
_03
Buying art is an opportunity to show your artistic tastes and your personality; do not be shy, you and only you have to like it. It will surely be an object that you will have to see for a long time, so make sure that you like it aesthetically.
_04
It can be a good investment in the future. It is possible that in a few years the value of this work, or the artist in question, will increase. Therefore, it is a good opportunity to invest your money in another way. Like any investment, it has its risks; you can never know for sure how the future will be, but if you believe in an artist and consider that he will have a great future ahead, investing in him can be a very good decision.
_05
Think of it as a unique gift for you or that special person: it is a gift with history, which will become part of your personal heritage and can be passed down from generation to generation.
​
_06
You know when it is the ideal work when upon seeing it you have the instant desire to hang/place it in that space you have in mind. As we said, it chooses you.
