Artists & Artisans

Q: What’s the difference between an artist and an artisan?

While they are often used interchangeably, artists and artisans aren’t the same thing. Artists are individuals who create art – this can include paintings, sculptures, and music. Artisans are skilled workers that make products, such as clothes or furnishings, by hand.

Q: What makes a contemporary artist unique?

Contemporary art is known to be bold and defy traditional boundaries. Each contemporary artist will have their own signature art style. This may include a specific colour palette, shapes and patterns, or deeper meanings behind the art.

Art can evoke emotions, portray a deeper meaning, and add a decorative touch to any space — and artwork created by dedicated artists and artisans are the most striking. ArchiPro features some of the finest artists and artisans in Australia to help you find the perfect sculptures, abstract art and more for your home.

Types of services that artists and artisans provide

Original or custom art

If you’re looking for a specific and unique art piece, original and custom art professionals can work alongside you to create something that suits your needs and preferences.

3D art

3D art is a bold statement piece for any room. Artists and artisans in Australia can create 3D art for residential or commercial use.

Sculptures

These professionals can also create sculptures from a variety of materials, including clay, marble, copper, and wood.

Textiles and other decor items

On top of this, they can also conceptualise and create toys, furnishings, textiles, clothes, and other decor items.

The advantages of hiring skilled artists and artisans

Art is often subjective, but the creations of skilled artists and artisans can transcend all tastes and preferences. Experienced artists and artisans have had years and maybe even decades of perfecting their craft, resulting in beautiful artwork that can be appreciated by everyone. If you’re looking for custom art, they will be better at taking your feedback on board, going above and beyond to create a piece that is loved for years to come. This type of art is a worthy investment and may even improve in value over time.

How to choose the best artists and artisans for your project

There’s no concrete answer to choosing the best artists and artisans, only the type of art you’re looking for. The key to choosing one suited for your project is browsing through their previous work. Do they have a proper portfolio? What is their style? Do they specialise in certain materials? Most artists and artisans will have a “signature” approach to creating art, so it’s worth investigating. The services of artists and artisans can also vary greatly in price, so it may be a good idea to have an amount in mind before narrowing down your search.

You can ask them other questions, including:

How long have you been an artist in Australia?
What style of art do you have the most experience with?
Do you offer custom or original art?
How long does your artwork take to be made?
How will the art be transported?
Do you charge per art project or an hourly rate?
Do you work with any other professionals like art installation experts?

Does a professional artist use references?

This will depend on the artist and the type of art they are creating. Professional artists producing artworks such as photographs, still-art paintings, and sculptures will often utilise reference images or objects.
