Negotiating a Deal with Nicaraguan Artists

With greatful thanks to Dolly at the Nicaraguan Cultural Alliance (NCA), we have been contacted by 3 artists from Nicaragua interested in exhibiting their art on the Karuna Village website. I had seen some truly outstanding paintings on the NCA website and approached Dolly with the idea of seeking to do a limited edition print series of selected artists works.

Subsequently I have received an email from Carmen Garcia, a Nicaraguan artist of 25 years standing who works in the primitivism style, (an example of her work is shown above), who, along with two of her colleagues, Santos Medina and Luis Verela, are very interested in the idea. The sizes they are working on are 120cm x 80 and 60 x 50 cm, and mainly oil or acrylic on canvas.

Currently, Carmen is looking for a printer locally who can undertake Giclee printing. The idea is to create a limited edition print run of selected paintings, with between 100 - 250 prints, each signed and numbered by the artist, and selling for around $250 per print. These are stunning works of art and certainly deserve a wider audience. I think there will be a lot of interest once these prints become available. Watch this space, as they say!
