How to Know If A Painting is Right For You

There’s a moment—quiet, electric, sometimes unexpected—when something inside you says yes.

Not a logical yes. Not a budgeted yes. Not even always a convenient yes.

But a cellular one.

Your eyes land on a painting, and something stirs. A memory, a sensation, a knowing. Maybe it reminds you of somewhere you’ve never been. Or something you’ve never said out loud. You might try to scroll past, walk away, or rationalize the feeling—but it stays with you.

This is how you know.

You don’t have to “understand” abstract art. You only have to feel something. And when you do, that’s your invitation.

In my own life, I’ve learned that this kind of recognition is rare and holy. It’s the soul speaking a language the mind hasn’t learned yet. It might come with a rush of desire, or a subtle hum. But when it comes, I encourage you to listen.

Because collecting isn’t about having more things—it’s about choosing what reflects your truth back to you. What anchors you. What whispers something sacred every time you pass it in your home.

If a painting is meant for you, it will call to you.

But it’s up to you to say yes.

Don’t wait for certainty to find you, if your heart knows, trust that. Collectors often tell me that the work stayed with them, that it haunted them, in the best way, until they claimed it.

If something stirred as you read this, it may already be yours. Visit the Wild Collection and let’s find your piece together.
