About The Cipressi Gallery
The gallery is built upon some solid principles: commitment to art, business instinct and the ability to take risks. These principles have driven art and artists through the ages and now is no different. What is different however, is that now, in 2022 there is not one prevailing style. Cipressi work with this not against it, welcoming art of different styles from painting, graphics, collages to video and performance art, but, applying their strict criteria.
Each artist and his or her work is assessed on many criteria, taking into consideration their artistic value, the idea and its execution, the artist’s personality and the final presentation.
The team selects prospective residents of the gallery on versatile global sites. But they don’t rule out the possibility of being open for cooperation, if they see potential in works by an artist who approaches them.
How do the Team Work with Artists?
At the start of cooperation, the gallery’s residents receive professional support – project financing, open-air painting trips, including some excursions abroad, preparation of their CV, their biography as well as interviews with art experts and opinion leaders in the world of the arts. In addition to collaboration and support, some selected artworks will be purchased by the gallery for its own collection.
Opportunities with the Gallery
The gallery accepts applications from interested artists who meet their criteria, as well as collaborators. Find out more on their website.
For those interested in purchasing their artworks, please contact Maria or Konstantin.
