My First Soirée; My First exhibit in California

I have been doing art since 2002. I have done exhibits for Tec de Monterrey and Auditorio Luis Elizondo in Monterrey, Mexico as well some collaborative exhibits in the same city. I have also shared my artwork in Corredor del Arte (Downtown Monterrey) from January 2005 - June 2005. But Yesterday, was the first time I shared my artwork in a gallery of Califonia, United States (Berkeley). It was a very rewarding experience:

Lyn Williams (MySoirée.Net) and Victor Velásquez (ElHiloNegrodeVicco)

- There is a Soirée coming this weekend! - Lyn told me. And as soon as she did I selected the paintings that I wanted to be part of the exhibit as well as the frames. I was very excited since it was an opportunity for me to share my vision as well as the message I have embedded in every painting. Every painting has a story behind and people like to hear those stories. They are part of the "Art of Selling Art". So I got ready and I talked to potential clients about what my paintings have to say. This time, I didn't get any sale but I am very happy about the reactions of the poeple toward my Art: Techno-Nature, the merge of Technology with Nature.

After the presentation, a girl approached me and she was amazed by the fact that my paitings were exactly what a BioTech company in Las Vegas was looking for. So she gave me this incredible idea. Is there any Bio Tech Company out there that would like to buy my Art? I really enjoy working with the concept of merging Techonology with Nature in a piece of artwork. And I just realized what a perfect match is the kind of art I do with a Bio Tech Company.

It is also, a good opportunity to see what other artists are doing and learn from them. This gave me a broader perspective.

These are the benefits of being an active participant of a Soirée. If you are an artist and you haven't posted your artwork there, here is the link again. And get ready because there are more Soirées coming.
