How to choose Inspirational art pieces to improve energy and attract positivity in your home

Interior décor highlights consist of special features that form highlight in the rooms. Especially living rooms are ones where a single item of furniture or artwork is used to create focus, focal point, and what we  call a conversation piece.
Inspirational, motivational, symbolic art can speak volumes about eh living room and the inmates. The personality and character , personal preferences and emotions of the individual can be symbolically represented in that one single piece of large artwork that stands majestically on your living room wall.
Every home individual must take that special time to select a piece of art that represents a part of them. Artworks on your walls can speak volumes about you.  Not only will they give style to your décor but also improve and attract positivity and great energy to your living rooms.

A piece which when looked at takes you to another dimension of thoughts, brings a smile to your face or the viewers are tempted to begin a conversation, then the purpose of art is served. Choose an piece of art that has aesthetic appeal and hits many senses at a time.
Symbolic art consists of hidden meanings, open to viewers imaginations, some inspirational, some fantasy, and some just plain different and unique. 
While choosing inspirational art for your living room consider the following tips-
1) Be familiar with the symbolism as you will have to live, converse about the selection. Communicate with the artist about the artwork, understand symbolism, hidden meanings and , point blank meanings, love the work and then choose it.
2) Choose symbolic works in the colors you love. Color therapy is again a very powerful means of displaying symbolism in your living room wall art. If you find the right piece it is great and most works are love at first sight. If you are not you get one made according to your preferences and loved colors.
3) Choose the right size of symbolic art. The meanings and symbolism has to be loved by you as the displayer of art, the right size matters. You can make quiet a statement wall by displaying a large sized symbolic artwork or a group of small pieces each having their own identity.
4) Your emotional response matters a lot. When you are choosing an inspirational work of art it has to hit the heart and mind right with the symbolism in the art. You must be able to get the positivity and energy from viewing such symbolism in the art you choose. This either you communicate with your art broker, art dealer or gallery owners or the artist from where you are about to buy an artwork.
5) For the beginners list down the objects that symbolize growth, prosperity and wealth for you. It may be quite a different one or the same and there are many universal symbols that bring about the  same emotional reaction from viewers. Though here your personal experiences and life will influence what symbols you love. Example red color for some represents danger, for some it is passion and love, and as in feng shui a great color representing fire energy to attract fame.
Have a Great Day and All the Best from Rizwana!

Presentation of Artwork is Very Important How and Why

How and why presentation of artwork is important, very important . Images displayed online do not do justice to our art, especially when we are not so efficient in taking good quality photographs.

Framing forms a major part in presentation of our art. Mounting is one important part that brings out the best beauty in our art.

Viewers also get to see how the art will look when displayed in their home when the art is presented in right form. This is one of the way to present your art online.

Abundance on Red wall

Beautiful Healing of the soul on turquoise wall

The artist in me could not rest, our fasting month is going on, busy time with prayers, religious activities,  and this work has been done  at night, took a lot of time than expected,  and got hold of an old painting that was dull and faded, inspirations, thoughts, all poured over the paper without any photographs, I am very bad at copying!

The dream home , a fantasy painting has been  made  in moments of immense happiness, on an oil paper painting,  beauty comes in new ways, without using any photographs as reference. Each element added with utter care and love.  I love old villas and bungalows and their charm is irreplaceable.

My Dream Home by Rizwana Mundewadi

My Dream Home oil on oil sketch paper 9.5x13.5 Inches

Every fine detail added with thought and involvement with the artwork, dream of my villa home! The fruit trees, the coconut trees, the back garden for vegetables, the stone pavement walkway to the entrance. Then of course,  seating arrangement under the open sky under the beautiful umbrella. The water feature with birds coming for a dip and drink and the colorful floral border to the walkway entrance with red door.

The painting has elements from heritage as well as contemporary and modern look. And yes the ball on the lawn making the presence of family being felt, with the tea cups and tea pot as an after tea time moment.  Again taking you to another level past the home to beautifully colored houses, immense Happiness! .

All the Best to me! And sharing  this dream home to you.

Enjoy! Thank you, All the Best from Rizwana! www.razarts.com

Make painting Groups How to make groups of wall artworks Art Display Ideas with your paintings

Make Groups of Paintings! Refurbish your home with grouping art! You will feel so mesmerized when you enter a home and see Such an attractive art display,  Grouping of artworks is one option which is very under utilized and never thought off. Here I show you ideas for art display, whatever art you have at home combine them creatively and make a statement wall!!People buy paintings and then have to carry off with them for years and years without knowing how to buy another large piece and over years the bestest art piece also sometimes may make you feel dull and boring. Try these ideas, you will be amazed!

Combine floral art with feng shui for interesting energy activation

Add feng shuii items with art for display

Different coloured frames also work wonders to paintings display

Small is Powerful! Have Red feng shuii frame colours! Super energy activation!

Different walls can also have artworks hanging in bedroom

Two similar themed paintings also go well with single large glass covered frame

A simple option would be to try to group existing artworks or buy small artworks. If you already have existing large paintings you can buy small pieces of similar themes, similar or contrasting colors and add more style. Choose similar artists style work, or you could follow a certain loved color, textures, or go in for contrasting color artwork and group your art in a pattern that makes them appear as a whole large artwork accentuating a single wall of your living room.
You can also add some color on your walls to refurbish the wall with texture, glossy finish or new medium and hang the same art, it will look great. Another way to make the same art look new and improve visual appeal.
Large paintings can be grouped by choosing smaller works that can either go on the sides below or above the paintings as a group. A beautiful geometric pattern can also be formed as grouping the paintings by hanging them in a circular shape or triangular shape. Frames are another way to improve the look of your existing costly artwork.

Having some green plants also activates energy with paintings in any space

While grouping paintings for display look at the final appearance by going at a distance from the wall and viewing your art work groupings. This will allow you to look at the final product as a complete whole. Assembling small artworks do not go in for too many contrasting color or theme paintings as this will not bring out a good effect. Imagine a water landscape with next one geometric bold colors one with the partner of red fire, and bird sitting on a perch, not only will it mar the visual appeal but also be feng shui incorrect energy.

Symbol paintings in different sizes and colours bring highlight to a wall

Large and small interesting painting group display

If you love geometry cubism, select smaller pieces of paintings in cubism and group them or go in for plain color field paintings or abstract paintings. Landscapes can also be in so many emotional colors and topics, and you can group them beautifully to convey a feeling or message of happiness on your wall.  Some people would also arrange paintings as in a fairy tale story or inspirational message, thus in literal terms making their art speak volumes! The focal point may be your existing large painting which can form a base to select smaller paintings that fall into similar styles. Thus making your art look larger in size and also give it a new refurbished look.

Here if you are confused many online art galleries also have art consultants who will guide you for the selection and grouping for your artworks. Or you could also contact the artists and ask for suggestions for which works go best with their art.

Make special frame in circular or any geometric shape and display different size art 

Same color scheme artworks also blend and bring soothing vibes to any room

Blue will drive away customers from your restaurant Importance of Color in any Profession

Profession and colors are symbolically linked together. When we mention hospitals the images that  immediately come to our mind are white, pastels and off whites. Just so when we mention restaurants we get a picture of some thing brings and photos of fruits and vegetables or non veg treats. Color is very important in any profession and this can be incorporated as color of walls, color of accessories in room, color of upholstery, color of paintings etc.
Color has the power to influence our minds and in many ways it can either bring loads of success or mar away business altogether. Today in contemporary furniture and modern décor where people are spending quite huge sums on decorating the space to bring good luck and success the wrong choices in color can have drastic effects and sometimes not so good ones on your business.
Symbolically color has been used since years right from old ages as the tribal community used natural color to enhance and decorate walls of their homes. Thus came in color. Each and every color and even shades and hues have different psychological effects on our mind and thus affects our profession and business.
While red has been used to represent anger, passion, power in Chinese feng shui red has been given a lot of importance as an energy color to attract positivity and wealth. White has gone back stage today as the homes and offices are going colorful with the effects of color psychology gaining momentum.
Blue is a soothing and relaxing color. The properties of blue in the color wheel also indicate it is a cool color and recedes in the picture or image. Blue has been used in paintings as of clear blue skies and blue flowers in nature. While cubism and geometry gives blue a color that can create magic contrasts with vibrant oranges and reds and even greys, blue is one color that can have strong effects to any room energy.
Lilacs, purple and turquoise come close to blue and are also in the similar cool color psychological effects. Professions like Medical, healing, and clinics all benefit from cool colors while restaurants and gymnasiums, or any businesses involving people energy require energy colors like red, orange, maroon, yellow etc.
Speaking of restaurants blue color will drive away your customers and no wonder they also may lose appetite in the relaxing environment. Having large spaces of blue on walls or in large paintings can have drastic effects on the eatery business. Customers when they come to a restaurant need to be developed an inviting energy and also one that increases their appetite. Imagine inviting steamy dishes or colorful vibrant fruits paintings hanging on the walls , they immediately make the energy of this space inviting, improves appetite and your customers may end up eating a little more than planned.
In food business food art is also making waves. Presenting food in attractive manner is one way to trickle the senses and create aesthetic appeal to your food. Restaurants are an energy places where people come to refresh their energy by eating and the space should also do just that. Having blue in a hotel or dining area will have opposite effects on their mind and even lose appetite or drive away your customers.
In feng shui the color of fame is red and the use of this color in south , south east  is very beneficial. Blue the color of element water, comes in the north. In the food business you can hang artworks that represent energy to attract more customers. Inviting, appealing, tasty treats and steaming hot food dishes are enough to invite clients to your restaurants and keep them coming for more!
Take Care and All the Best from Rizwana!

Importance of Bubble Wrap in Packaging and Shipping Paintings Why Bubble Wrap is important in packing and how to choose bubble wrap

Customized Paintings Shipping Order

Bubble wrap the wonderful cover that came with all electronic equipment and we all enjoyed (and still do) the bubbles coming up on the plastic sheet, popping the bubbles is still a very great feeling! . What to use as packing material for shipping paintings, when we send anything by (shipping) courier, the object has to face them all; air, winds, rains, sunlight and the temperature differences while travelling by air. Yes your artwork has to be packed tough enough to face all these and reach the destination  in one piece.
Hence packing a painting for shipment is very important and the best quality materials need to be used to pack and wrap the paintings for shipping. Bubble wrap is one common material that is used in packing many things for shipment. From latest mobile phones and electronic equipments to paintings and important pieces of jewellery boxes all are usually wrapped in bubble wrap.

Packing Paintings for Shipping

What is a bubble wrap? it is a plastic sheet with lots of bubbles over it on one side and the other side is flat and smooth. There is air trapped in the bubbles thus making an external protective layer raised from the plain plastic sheet cover. It also helps when paintings are to be stacked one over the other as they have this protective layer in between.
The purpose of bubble wrap is to protect the object from external pressures and handling and also the surfaces of the object from getting abrased. When you see how the packages are off loaded on air port you will just realize how much important your packing procedures are and the bubble wrap is a saver, as it absorbs shock and friction.
While buying bubble wrap and packing paintings for shipping consider these important points-
1) Buy bubble wrap according to the destination you require to send the paintings, there are many many qualities available and in many budget ranges and prices vary a lot. In case of local / hand delivery a thinner bubble wrap also will do for packing your work of art.
2) If the art has to be shipped internationally  we need good quality bubble wrap that can withstand the pressures faced from transport. A thicker one that is more strong is best.
3) The prices of bubble wrap vary a lot and this all depends upon the quality, thickness of the bubble wrap you are buying.There are so thin bubble wraps, very cheap,  that even tear with hand and are of no use.
4) While packing paintings for shipment in bubble wrap see that the artworks are completely dried off well. Other wise the paint will stick to the bubble wrap and  peel off when removed with packing.
5) On dropping accidentally or any other object falling over the artwork , a good quality bubble wrap absorbs this and also protects the art from damage. Hence it must be thick enough.
6) Always keep written instructions for opening the package on the outside and write details of packing materials to the buyers of paintings , receivers of artwork. As they can open the package with care.
7) using adhesive tapes and cello tapes for binding the bubble wrap must be such that it over laps the bubble wrap and does not in any way reach the painting in any form. As tapes have a bad tendency of getting stuck up and in case your bubble wrap is smaller even a bit the tape in contact with surface of the painting on opening may peel off the paint and spoil the painting. Hence take precaution to take extra packaging bubble wrap that falls over the painting surface and protects it. 
8) While packing framed paintings the surface coming in contact is direct  glass and this is very fragile. So artists also pack thermocol sheets, cardboards, paper sheets,  inside to absorb external forces while shipping.
Bubble wraps have become very important material in packing and shipping anything especially  paintings when we have to send internationally, and they play an important role in the protection  of your shipped paintings. Buy very good quality or medium quality bubble wraps depending upon the destination your artwork has to be sent.
So while my package is ready to be shipped, wishing you 
All the Best from Rizwana!
