Have you seen my videos?

I have been trying something new. I have been in the art industry for the majority of my life and I have valuable insight to share. Lately, I started to make videos on my social so share some things that I think are important for the consumer to know. I also wanted to share more about my inspiration behind my artwork and a glimpse into how it all comes together. As I have said many times before, I love connecting with my clients and this has been a fun new way to do that. So far I have shared some important information about counterfeit art, the difference between original art and limited edition giclees. If you have any questions you want answered please do not hesitate to ask! Drop a question on my blog, on my instagram @gallerymavruk  or call me directly at Gallery Mavruk (561) 961-0704

Custom Framing by Gallery Mavruk

Custom Framing by Gallery Mavruk

I wanted to highlight our custom framing service. Although I am an artist, I have always offered custom framing, the two go hand in hand and strategically it made sense. When my wife and I opened our first gallery we would build the frames ourselves, and I am proud to say that we still sometimes do! 

Custom framing was important to me, as an artist I can visualize what matte and frame will look best. I believe, having the artists touch, is what sets us apart from the rest. I have been doing custom framing for over 40 years, I know what looks best, what fits the painting, or mirror, or jersey, or whatever your heart desires. I also know what you need or don't need. Part of my success has been my unwavering honesty, and it is what keeps my customers coming back and trusting me with their art. You see, it is easy to sell someone on expensive things that they really don't need, but it is not right. I happy customer is a returning customer, and I have nor will I ever upsell you on things you do not need. Many times I have had clients come in with artwork and asked for museum glass. Museum glass is incredibly expensive, and often times unnecessary. I explain to them that unless the art is highly valuable it really does not require museum glass. Even if it is in direct sunlight, UV glass really only protects against lights in the home, nothing can protect it from sunlight. Even so, if your work is highly valuable, I would then recommend Museum Plexiglass, because if it falls it won't break, but is glass breaks and can damage the artwork. I believe it is vital to have all of the information so as to make an informed decision. 

If you are thinking of framing something, please do not hesitate to visit me at Gallery Mavruk, I'd be happy to help!

How do you style your art?

How do you style your art?

Art is personal, you find what speaks to you, you find what speaks to your space. I have seen a million times, how the same piece of art can invoke a completely different energy by the space it is in. Why is that? Because as human beings we are all unique. We have our own styles, ideas, and the way the art is styled is just as important as the art itself. I love when my clients share pictures of their art hanging. I wanted to share some of those pictures because I am constantly blown away how perfect each piece fits each client.

Spread the Love

Spread the Love

It has been a busy season, I have been traveling back and forth to New York working on art. My gallery showcased at Art Wynwood which was a great success, and I have been doing shows locally since returning to Boca Raton. I just finished up a show in West Boca and have another on Las Olas in Fort Lauderdale this weekend. I've said it before, I love doing shows and meeting so many of you. 

Art Wynwood was my sons first art exhibit and he did wonderful. When you are a creative, your mind is always bursting with new ideas, and for him it is no different. During the show, he decided to create an interactive experience on a piece that he calls "Spread the Love" and he let everyone he met write "love" on the piece, by the end of the weekend it was covered in messages of love from people all over the world of all ages, and in 20 different languages! 

 

As artists this is what we hope to inspire with our work, joy & love.
