Mind blowing, beautiful, horrible, amazing, addictive — all these and many more adjectives are used while talking about art. I am really interested in the ADDICTIVE side of contemporary artworks.

Buying art can be like getting a tatoo — you get your first one, then you want another one, later — you just can’t resist the third one…. and so it goes.

Why does it have such an effect on people and why do we become art collectors?

There is more than one reason and I am explaining them all in this video.
