During these days that I was away, I did not sit still. I have been sitting at the computer for a long time and stubbornly since the morning and sent out my paintings and applications to various galleries. 🥵
I took photographs of my paintings, covered them with varnish and put them in order.
The most difficult thing was to make an application about myself as an artist.
After all, galleries appreciate your background in the form of exhibitions and other artistic activities. But I don't have it and it's like a vicious circle.
You know, it's like a job situation. When they don't want to hire you because you don't have enough experience, but where do you get that experience when you don't get hired on work? 🤯
This world drives me crazy sometimes.
But I don't give up. You know I never give up 😎
But the galleries sent me rejections one by one. But one gallery nevertheless agreed to see my paintings.
I was very excited. When I approached the gallery, my hands were shaking, and in my head it was only: “if they don’t like me”, “what if they don’t like my paintings”, “what if they refuse me because I am a foreigner and I don’t know the language well”, “what if they will refuse me because I am from Belarus, and due to the difficult political situation between the countries, they will not want to cooperate with me.”
But everything went great.
The gallery took one of my works for auction. They don't promise me a sale, but they gave me the opportunity to try. I am extremely grateful for this. And I thank myself for not giving up.
I will attach a video to you, how I cried when I received the first refusal and how a few days later I happily go to show my paintings in my first gallery 😂
Believe in yourself, friends, otherwise no one will believe
