Sale of paintings by an artist – what are the advantages

When you visit an art gallery, the paintings for sale in oil or other techniques leave a stronger impression in this exquisite and luxurious atmosphere. Hanging on the walls of the empty gallery with white walls and a marble floor, the art paintings look expensive and refined. Of course, art itself is refined and for people with taste. However, the price of the artworks found in any gallery often turns out to be so high that they become inaccessible to us.

Thus, the original works of Bulgarian artists, which have high artistic value, slowly lose popularity in favor of cheap Chinese panels and prints, produced in industrial quantities and distributed in every major furniture store.

These painted wall paintings, as they are presented, are actually not hand-painted. They may look good at first glance, but in reality, only a little transparent paint has been brushed onto them to give them the appearance of painted paintings, with the most expensive part being the frame that has been placed around them.
There is a lack of manual labor and uniqueness in the embossed painted wall paintings.  

How to find paintings for sale by an artist?


However, there is a way to acquire original author's paintings without spending unnecessary funds on this.
Paintings for sale by artists, before they reach the intermediary gallery, can actually be found at a significantly lower price. There is no need to pay a huge markup for the oil paintings you purchase; it is enough to seek personal contact with the artist whose works you have chosen.

Sometimes this is difficult to achieve, but in recent years, a significant number of artists have created their own personal online shops or showcase websites from which you can obtain a phone number or email.

Unfortunately, and quite understandably, commerce is not the strong suit of Bulgarian creators, as they often rely on intermediaries. You will rarely see the personal website of an artist among the first results in Google; it will be necessary to dig a little deeper – to the 6th, 7th, or even 8th page in Google. Usually, artists just want to paint and hope that someone else will discover, appreciate, and purchase their work.

If you do not find a personal website of the artist you are looking for paintings for sale from, look in the Facebook space for their personal profile or page. Try in Cyrillic or Latin script, as well as with some abbreviations. It is quite possible that you will find them quickly!
Paintings for sale by an artist – how much money can you save?

In every physical gallery, owned by an intermediary and not by a specific artist, there is a markup on each oil painting of 30-50% (over the author's price of the paintings). Thus, the prices of oil paintings become too high and inaccessible for most people.

Besides the noticeably lower price, another advantage of purchasing the desired paintings directly from the artist is that you can always return the painting if you decide that something in it does not appeal to you, whereas in a physical gallery, it is unlikely they would allow you to do that unless you replace it with another painting of the same price.

For an artist, it is most important that their clients are satisfied and recommend their work to their friends. Since in the art industry, the name that builds the artist is important, it is quite understandable that the creator will apply their best efforts so that people can spread the "word of mouth" about where they purchased paintings for their home.

The online art gallery of the popular artist Daniela Stoykova presents her paintings for sale at the best price.


In this website for selling paintings by the artist D. Stoykova, you will find original paintings for sale at TOP prices, without intermediaries or resellers, with high quality and artistic value. The prices of the paintings correspond to the actual market valuation of the Bulgarian market.

There are many advantages to having direct access to the author of the works you like:

  • You save money. You save on commissions for galleries or other online shops and intermediaries.
  • Special discount. When purchasing paintings directly from the artist, you can also receive a special discount and negotiate with the artist for the art painting you wish to purchase. Often, for an artist, it is more important to have people acquire their paintings that bring them joy than to seek profit and maximum price.
  • You connect with an interesting and creative person, and you will likely receive invitations to exhibitions and events they organize in the future.
  • You can request a custom painting that meets your requirements, taste, and space.

Order your personal custom painting directly from the artist.
