Founded on August 17, 2022, as a reflection of my lifelong dedication to art and sustainability, Artistry Gifts was more than just the establishment of a brand; it was the realization of a lifelong dream, built upon years of passion, dedication, and a desire to create meaningful, sustainable art. Launching Artistry Gifts felt like I was stepping into a world where art was alive and thriving, and I wanted my work to be a part of that vibrancy.
The Year 2022
The art world roared back in 2022, regaining the momentum it had lost during the difficult years of the pandemic. Blockbuster exhibitions, such as the Venice Biennale and Documenta, made triumphant returns, drawing art lovers from across the globe to celebrate creativity in all its forms. It felt as though the world was once again ready to celebrate creativity, bringing people together to experience art in all its forms.
Sotheby’s closed out 2022 with unprecedented success in its Handbags department, setting new records for Hermès bags. Their craftsmanship and timeless designs have always inspired me, and it’s thrilling to see the continued appreciation for these artful creations. As someone who values both sustainability and artistry, I admire Hermès' ability to blend tradition with innovation—something I strive to do with my own artistic brand.
The Birth of Artistry Gifts and Originals
The year 2022 was a monumental one for me, both personally and artistically. As I look back on that year, I see it not only as the beginning of a new chapter in my journey but also as a remarkable time in the global art world, filled with record-breaking sales, blockbuster exhibitions, and moments that reminded us of the enduring power of creativity. My brand is deeply personal, born out of my desire to merge art and sustainability. Each piece I create carries with it not only the beauty of my craft but also the responsibility to care for the planet.
2022: A Year of New Beginnings
As I reflect on 2022, I feel immense gratitude for the opportunities and inspiration that year brought. It was a year of breaking records, not only in the art world but also in my own life.
The return of blockbuster exhibitions, the soaring success of iconic artworks, and my own personal milestone of launching Artistry Gifts and Originals all made 2022 a year to remember.
The record-breaking sales of Hermès bags, much like the pieces I create, remind us that art is not just something to be admired but something to be cherished and carried with us in our daily lives.
Much like the record-breaking sales at Sotheby’s and Christie’s, or the return of the world’s top art festivals, my journey in 2022 was about celebrating the enduring power of art to connect us to something greater.
I look forward to continuing that journey, creating pieces that inspire, uplift, and remind us all to "Find the Art of Life" in everything we do.
