How to start an art collection?

Starting an art collection is a personal endeavor. Contrary to popular belief, it's not about investment or prestige, but primarily about a sensitive connection to the artworks.

But how do you begin when you have no experience yet? What choices should you make, and most importantly, how do you avoid common mistakes? Here are the essential basics for building a first coherent collection.

Understanding what an art collection is

An art collection isn't built in a day. It evolves with time, encounters, desires, and emotions.

It's not just about accumulating artworks, but about creating a coherent whole that tells a story: a taste, a vision, a sensibility.

You can collect:

• emerging artists from the region
• contemporary artworks
• a particular style (abstract, minimalist, figurative, street art)
• or works that are "love at first sight"
