“To my mind, a picture should be something pleasant, cheerful, and pretty, yes pretty! There are too many unpleasant things in life as it is without creating still more of them.”
Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Perhaps at least once in our lifetime, each of us wonders what expensive and inexpensive works of art are about… And what is the difference between them?
There are many answers, but the most common answer to this question is that art is a way to express ourselves. And this usually involves everything spiritual, but the way of expression is appreciated by very down-to-earth values, namely by money.
Therefore, the final price of the work is directly influenced by the size of the canvas (or other surface on which the work is done), the length of time spent working on the art and the overall experience of the artist, as well as the style of painting and the technique (or media), etc. This raises another question: why buy art, why invest your wealth in art?
Art washes our soul from the dust of everyday life” (Pablo Picasso). And it’s often completely illogical, but it appeals to our personality, decorates our interior and creates an atmosphere where we want to be and come back… Therefore, psychologists and art experts advise to buy paintings that we really like, so we will not feel sorry if, after 50 years, their value does not increase at least 100%… Well, their value doesn’t matter, if they bring joy every day and make our life more beautiful…
Dear Art Lovers,
All works presented here are unique and signed by the artist. Most of the paintings are hand-painted, but recently our artist has also been creating New Media Art (often called NFT). In the description of each work, you’ll find detailed information about the technique used to make it. The artist does not make copies of the famous works, but only her own original and unique paintings and graphics. Each piece of art has its own Certificate of Authenticity. Below each of the images you’ll find a link to the subpage with a basket or to the Contact form.
If you’ll prefer other payment methods, we will add additional ones.
Delivery prices and/or preferred delivery company are discussed by e-mail or telephone. The price of the work is given without delivery costs.
And our “Life is like a box of chocolates …” (Forrest Gump)… Surprises are really possible, and even good ones! Here are some reasons why you could expect some lovely surprises in our art gallery:
First, it’s the colors. The language of colors is universal, independent of cultural and linguistic barriers. For example, red is mainly related to energy, rage, courage or passion, while blue can calm or make you concentrate, although it also has a touch of sadness. Why not add a little color to your life, or at least to the place where you spend most of your time?
“A Work of Art is a corner of creation seen through a temperament.”
Emile Zola
Our artist loves colors! After all, observing a colorful work of art on a neutral background can be fun and very useful for creative thinking.
The following reason is described by the great 12th century Georgian poet Shota Rustaveli – “What you give away remains your own, but what you keep is lost!” Many artists, some of them, without even realizing it, are determined to leave their mark on this world through their works.
The purchase of a work of art gives hope that its creator will not be forgotten, not only the artist, but you too, as an art collector or investor, can be famous…
“Art seems to me to be above all a state of soul. All souls are sacred, the soul of all the bipeds in every quarter of the globe.”
Marc Chagall
And maybe this is the main reason: in our gallery you’ll find new and absolutely original pieces of art, not copies of already existing and a million times counterfeited paintings!
Pablo Picasso
In Art4Love Gallery we present paintings with descriptions, dimensions and shopping baskets, which redirect to the separate page of each piece of art.

…And some BLOG thoughts…
Perhaps each of us has wondered at least once WHAT ART IS. There are infinite options, but most often this question is answered this way: art is a way of expressing oneself. And usually it is associated with all things spiritual. Therefore, another question arises: WHY SHOULD ART IS PURCHASED? Especially in our modern world, where practically everything – from exotic places to treasures of the past – can be seen online and online galleries are countless? This question seems senseless, at least at first sight. But let’s dig a little deeper and find some reasons for buying art online. And maybe, after the reading of this article, you decide to buy some pieces by this emerging artist… ;+)
The name is unfamed now, but who knows, maybe in some years ONLINE GALLERY BY STRYGACZOWA will be THE TRENDIEST ONE… Life is a box of chocolates. Let’s TALK ABOUT THE REASONS:
1. Colours
The language of colours is universal and independent of the cultural and language barriers. For example, red is mostly associated with energy, rage, bravery or aggression, while blue is able to make you calmer or to concentrate, although it also has a hue of sadness. Why don’t you add some colour to your life, or at least to the place where you spend most time? Observing a colourful art piece against neutral surroundings may prove to be pleasant and help your thoughts avoid being stuck.
2. Encouragement
There are stereotypes that an artist is to be hungry and that a good artist is able to create something outstanding out of rubbish. And these stereotypes still stand strong no matter how senseless they are. Creation of art is not always enjoyable, because, just as any other work, it requires will power, time and patience, as well as good materials. And, as we all know, those are not cheap. By buying the artist’s works you encourage them to create more, and it is unknown what is more important for them – money or knowing that somebody likes their creations.
3. Genuineness
The original art, no matter to what movement it belongs, is always genuine.
First, the original piece literally carries the artist’s touch – those little moments that are seen to the artist only: from selection of materials to manner of using them. It can be compared with handwriting. You will most probably agree that a printed copy of an art piece is nothing compared to the original one and that even the copy made using the same materials, but by a different person, is an imitation and does not carry all the intended details. The real art piece is one of a kind.
4. Memory
As Shota Rustaveli said, “what you have hidden is lost, but what you have given is yours”. Many artists, some of them not even realizing it, are determined to leave their track in this world using their creations. Purchasing a piece of art gives hope that its creator will be remembered.
5. Investment
There are many stories about treasures found in most ordinary places, from basements to attics. For example, the small XIII-century painting Christ Mocked by Italian artist Cimabue was found in a house and then sold for 24,000,000 Euros. As about modern art created by young aspiring artists, you never know what is going to happen to it, so purchasing a piece by them may prove to be an efficient long-term investment. Why cannot you find a treasure created by a local artist?
6. Customization
Nowadays many artists create their pieces on a by-order basis, so you can order the plot, style, colours and details in order for the piece to fit in your environment. And, using the modern technologies (from online galleries to e-shops), it has become even easier to agree upon the time and price, so you can plan your schedule and budget and add a bit of art to your life at the same time.
All these reasons can be applied to purchasing art from my online gallery, emphasizing that the ORIGINAL AND SIGNED ART IS BOUGHT HERE. The pieces can be sent wherever you want to get them. The UPS service is operating all over the world, so all you have to do is to make your decision and letting me know.
