THE HURDLE #1

Include a clear and concise artist biography written in the third person, preferably no more than three paragraphs. In the first paragraph, you should mention your name, date, and place of birth, your current location, artistic discipline, medium, and what you are best known for. Try to write in an engaging, conversational style while sticking to the specifics of your art rather than resorting to vague, overblown statements. Avoid clichés and generic language at all times.

In the second paragraph, you can briefly discuss the subject matter of your art, perhaps illustrating it with some important series or projects you have realized so far. Make sure that you do not explain too much, or bombard the reader with information. Leave them longing for more while briefly explaining what your work is about, rather than telling your whole life story.

In the third and final paragraph, you can mention your education and recite the most notable information from your artist resume in the form of exhibitions, collections, grants, residencies, and more. Be concise and formal in this paragraph by reciting your accomplishments without flexing or showing off.

Should you experience any issue accessing your purchase or have questions regarding shipping or delivery, you are always welcome to get in touch.

If you are not satisfied with your purchase, you may request a full refund within 10 days of delivery, provided the artwork is safely returned.

To be eligible for a refund, the artwork must be returned in the same condition in which it arrived, using the original box and protective wrapping. If the work is damaged as a result of insufficient packaging, mishandling, or improper care during return shipping, the refund cannot be issued.

By making a purchase, you agree to the following terms of sale: (i) You acknowledge physical ownership of the artwork transfers upon sale, while all copyright and intellectual property rights remain with the artist.

(ii) You agree to exercise reasonable care in preserving and protecting the artwork's condition after the transfer of ownership. (iii) You may display the artwork in private residential or office spaces. If you wish to loan, exhibit, or otherwise display the Artwork in a public, institutional, or commercial context, the artist kindly requests prior written notification. This is intended to help preserve accurate documentation of the work and its presentation. (iv) Should you wish to sell, donate, or otherwise transfer the artwork, the artist would appreciate being informed in writing in advance, where possible. For archival purposes, the artist also welcomes any available information regarding the resale or transfer, including the identity of the new owner, although this is not a condition of sale. (v) Please notify the artist promptly in the event of any significant damage to or loss of the artwork. The artist shall not be held liable for any damage, deterioration, or loss occurring after ownership has been transferred upon sale.
