Do the proposed Artworks follow an Artistic Line?

Yes, Bodjaro Paintings follow an Artistic Line. The representations are generally pictorial and stylized. The colors and the relief of the brush stroke reveal the sensitivity of the Artists. The latter often free themselves from details and seek to provoke the imagination and emotions of the viewer. To guide you, each Artwork belongs to an artistic "Style" and refers to one or more "Themes".

"Styles" correspond to the "artistic process" used to represent a scene or a character. Artists draw inspiration from the major trends in Art History (for example the Naïve style, the Abstract style, etc.) while adding their personal touch. The Bodjaro Artistic Line covers 6 Styles, in unequal proportions, depending
of the sensitivity of the Artists.

The "Themes" correspond to the scene depicted. For example, a Canvas representing a couple holding hands could belong to the Themes "Love and
Tenderness" and "Characters and Life Scenes". The Artistic Line is defined around 12 Themes, also used in unequal proportions: some themes are more popular than others, whether among Artists or Clients. Find out more about the Artistic Line

What sizes are available and how do I choose?

Three complementary sizes are available on the Store: "6F" (41x33 or 33x41 cm), "20F" (73x60 or 60x73 cm) and "40F" (100x81 or 81x100 cm). They are part of the traditional French Fine Arts Formats (F stands for Figure). The "6F" is ideal for small rooms with little distance (corridor, stairwell, entrance, small bedroom, WC, bathroom). For a living room or a large bedroom, the "20F" is often more suitable, but a "6F" may also be suitable depending on the desired effect, the available distance, the free surface on the wall, etc. Finally, the "40F" size is mainly suitable for large rooms with generous volumes.
