Level Three. Part Four. Exhibition. Day 3.

Today was the third and final day of my first solo exhibition. It was notable because today I made my first sales, and the first buyers were those people who visited the show on Day 2. I withheld the original works since I need them for my next exhibition, but people agreed to acquire prints. The following prints were found by their owners today:

The two metallic prints marked by yellow didnt come back home.

The signed Certificate of Authenticity for “Irises, la Noblesse” print.

The print of “Sterlitizia Bloom” was ordered. The visitor wanted to acquire the original work. Still, I suggested doing a high-quality print, because the work is done on student-quality, cheap canvas, so anyone who understands the industry would notice it. I didn’t want to put myself or the owner in this position.

This painting I refused to sell but it was booked for future sale.

Today, I also had the highest number of walk-ins, who noticed the signs in the hotel and wanted to see the artworks. I have included below some photos of my visitors during their viewing.

I had 37 people visiting my show during three days. One of the visitors was my new acquaintance Dorine, who is the founder of M.Film Productions. She made a post of me on her Instagram page:

In this video, I explain the “Exalted Moon” piece to a visitor.

I started packing my artworks at 6:00 p.m., as I had to vacate the room by 9:00 p.m. By 5:00 pm on my third day, I was already drained. I had a very intense week, full of new experiences and a new situation I had to navigate; I felt physically exhausted and overstimulated by the communications I have been dealing with. However, I was delighted because this week was an actual turning point, absolutely transformative in my life. It was a manifestation of all the work I have been doing since September 2017 when I enrolled on my OCA B (Honours) FA degree program and started the first “Drawing 1” course, level 1. In my next post, I will write about what I have learned during these amazing days.
