*“ A painting is an illusion, a piece of magic, so what you see is not what you see.”*

**Philip Guston**

There are several reasons why you might choose to buy small paintings but here are some possible reasons why you should:

Space constraints: Small paintings or fine art prints are a great option for you if you have limited wall space or live in small apartments or rooms. They can be easily accommodated in any area without overwhelming the available space.
Versatility: This one is really a subset of Space Constraints. Small paintings can be displayed in various settings, such as homes, offices, studios, or even small galleries. They can be arranged in groups or as part of a gallery wall, offering flexibility in terms of placement and artistic expression.
Budget-friendly: Small paintings are often more affordable compared to larger artworks. They provide an opportunity for art enthusiasts, like yourself, with limited budgets to own original pieces or prints by their favorite artists.
Intimacy and focus: Smaller artworks can create an intimate and focused viewing experience. Their size invites you to come closer and examine the intricate details, brushwork, and color palette, allowing for a deeper appreciation of the artist's technique and vision.

5. Collection building: Small paintings can be a starting point for building an art collection. They provide an opportunity to explore different artists, styles, and themes without making a significant financial commitment. Over time, as the collection grows, small paintings can complement larger works or become a curated collection on their own.

6. Gifting and personal expression: Small paintings make thoughtful and unique gifts for special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, or housewarmings. They offer a personal touch and can reflect the recipient's interests, personality, or artistic preferences.

7. Portability and flexibility: Due to their smaller size, these paintings are easier to transport and move around. This feature is particularly beneficial if you frequently change residences or enjoy rearranging your interior decor.

8. Access to emerging artists: Small paintings often are a way to give you access to emerging artists who may not have established a significant body of work. By purchasing their smaller pieces, you can support and encourage their artistic journey while acquiring potentially valuable artworks from promising talents.

Remember that your decision to purchase a small painting ultimately depends on your personal preferences, artistic taste, and individual circumstances.
