About Buy the Artist

“You don’t buy the artwork, you buy the artist“. 
– Al Carmona, BTA Founding Artist

Stories are a vital part of what makes us human and moves us forward. Stories are what makes an artist interesting. Because when you’re buying a piece of art from an artist, you’re buying their expression as person. They put themselves on the canvas. The joy, pain, anger, emotions of their life experiences. 

At Buy the Artist, each piece also has a story to tell. Whether it’s from the artists’ past or invented fiction, it all stems from the same place. The human experience and what it feels like to share this existence with others.
