Works of art are an excellent investment because their value increases several times over as the artist’s career develops. To ensure the artwork can be enjoyed by future generations, it must be made from materials that guarantee durability. That’s why I source the best paints in the world, and the canvases are handmade from Polish first-class linen. Only unique and carefully selected works are considered so-called rare goods, and their value tends to increase over time.

Every “Soul” painting should have its story:

“Since childhood, I have been fascinated by the beautiful wooden house where my grandparents lived. Whenever I visited them, my first steps would lead me to the attic, accessible via winding stairs. Under the weight of my steps, the tired wood would softly creak and groan. I always felt that the pre-war house had its own story and ‘soul’. In the middle of the attic was a tiny room made of raw wooden beams, intertwined with straw braids. I would lie on a large, comfortable bed and begin to contemplate the wooden wrinkles of time, admiring their indentations, cracks, surrounded by lace-like holes made by woodworms. These memories still live within me today and stimulate my imagination...”  Anna Wilk
