How to choose a painting?

Just a short intro

"When mens and womens are grouped and they are unite in thousands or in millions, they build countries, civilizations, religions, politics, wars, traditions... Only when the human being is alone, completely alone and being looked at likewise and to this own interior, only at this magic time the human is capable of creating and producing art. Then he composes his song, he paints his picture, he writes his poetry... The art is a suggestive human expression that is born from solitude. But this art is not only for himself. He needs to show it, to exhibit, to publish and to sell it. He needs to justify its own existence".

There is massive information in books and in the net about how to choose a paint.
According to my experience, there are two kind of art buyers:
The emotional ones, those who suddenly fall in love or feel an inexplicable impact by a painting. They buy by intuition and passion. They are not worried at all about the location at home and colour matches with their furniture. Sometimes they simply leave the painting against a wall while waiting for the inspiration about the final placement.

If you are concerned about the colors of your room, the armchairs or the curtains and their possible combination with a painting, you belong to the second group of buyers, a lot more rational and less interested in art. Any decoration magazine will provide you directions on choosing a painting that matches with the colour of your curtains.
I prefer to paint for the first group.
