An optimized Artelista profile is a guarantee that you'll sell more paintings

Your Artelista profile is the artist's calling card online, so it's essential to have it well optimized:

Profile photo: Pick an image that represents you. It doesn't have to be a passport-style shot, since what you're doing is presenting yourself so that potential patrons and art investors will want to buy your artwork. Choose a photo taken at one of your art exhibitions or a close-up.

Bio: The bio is where your life story goes, first the training and the most notable events, and then all of it in chronological order, like a CV. If you have a website you can include it in this section, since hyperlinks are allowed. Remember that having a portfolio of your own beyond Artelista gives a professional impression.

Publications section: This is where any reviews or pieces about the artist from the Artelista blog will appear.

Comments section: The comments section is very important and it's worth encouraging past buyers or fans to say what they think about your work.

Artworks: The images of the artworks, a fair price and being able to know in detail everything you need to know about the painting are the keys to someone buying it.
