It has been a delight for us to acquire a very meaningful artwork through Touch of Art. As longstanding collectors, we appreciate this experience on many levels.
First and foremost, we were thrilled by the wide range and depth of artistic talent offered by Touch of Art, and this at very reasonable prices. We were particularly enamored by the talent of Renata Brzosowska, who through her energetic expressionist style and intelligent and sensitive insight captured magnificently the magic of flamenco on her canvas – its “duende”. As longstanding flamenco aficionados, we have for many years searched in vain in countless galleries for such an achievement and this even among the most famous artists.
On another level, we were thrilled by Touch of Art giving us the opportunity to interact with the artist (being on another continent) by e-mail. And this not to control or steer the artist’s work, but for us to communicate our personal vision and love of the fabulous art of flamenco – a vision which we came to share in her creation of “Flamenquita”. Touch of Art also provided us, on their own initiative, with images (via e-mail) chronicling the progression of the commissioned work. To have a pictorial record of the birth of this wonderful creation adds another dimension to its appreciation.
And finally, and the most personally endearing aspect of our dealing with Touch of Art, has been the pleasure of interacting with the owner, Ania Kaminski. Not only was she the catalyst for our interaction with the artist, she also dedicated herself completely to making our purchase a most pleasant, exciting and efficient experience. Thanks to Ania’s attention to detail and the efficiency of the Polish customs service and post office, the canvas arrived, meticulously packaged, on our doorstep within seven days of shipping.
In every aspect, our dealing with Touch of Art has been a most pleasurable and rewarding experience for us.
