We live in an age where nearly everything we purchase is mass produced. We have become addicted to getting the most for our dollar. There is nothing wrong with looking for value, except that our idea of "value" has become confused and distorted. To many of us, this equates to quantity, not quality, so it is no surprise that most offices are decorated with bland "wall fillers," rather than art per se.

Anna Marevska of Anna's Report has just posted an excellent write-up about the recent launch of our online art gallery:

Art brings me great inspiration and I have found much satisfaction in promoting art that the American public knows little about, but...that makes a tremendous impression with its originality. I would like to use gallerynevena.com as a platform to promote artists from Eastern Europe who are extremely talented and deserve wider recognition.

Just in time for the holidays, Gallery Nevena opened its virtual doors in December with a grand opening celebration and art show hosted by Austin's Olive Interactive Design. The festivities were well attended, with about 75 friends and well wishers on hand to fête the launch of our new business with an evening of art, music, and great food. The guests enjoyed Bulgarian wine and the sounds of classical guitar as they surveyed our new collection of contemporary fine art by Nina Zlateva, Evgeni Kuzmanov, Argir Mansiev, Christo Shapkarov and other European artists.
