daas Gallery... Never in caps. Why?...Why not?
Once upon a time...
Well, technically, daas is the transition of what once was the David Acevedo Art Studio in a hidden corner of Fort Myers,
FL. The brain child of two people that always wanted to make a difference in the art scene of this area. David Acevedo and
Xavier Brignoni started this project in their minds even before they met. For both, it was logical and just a matter of time
before they would become the owners of an art gallery like daas. The artist and dreamer and the designer and clever met about
10 years ago and were bonded with a common denominator: ART. From then to here, many things have happened. It's time now.
One goal achieved with the David Acevedo Art Studio, now it's the moment for the obvious step.
So it's clear that
the name daas comes from the initials of the name David Acevedo Art Studio. It sounds like David has all the credit here.
Well, not really. The idea of using the name daas Gallery came from Xavier who masterminds a lot of the activities and projects
of the venue. The Phoenix has been adopted as the symbol for the gallery since it represents the rebirth of an entity into
something bigger and better. There were many great moments and successes at the David Acevedo Art Studio, but in order to
open the way to even better things, it had to be recreated and transformed. Rising from the ashes and against the odds, daas
surfaces and is eager to be there, side by side with other established art venues in Downtown Fort Myers and contribute to
put this city in the map as yet another artsy destination in Florida.
Expert Advise on Buying Art
Finding the
right artwork for your space can be a bit daunting for some, but it does not have to be.
These simple
facts will help you make up your mind and enjoy the process of collecting original art:
- Do NOT buy things other people
tell you to love. The art world is vast
and very diverse. An art piece should be something you like and feel some sort of connection with.
- Do NOT over think it! It should feel like love at first sight! You know when you love something right
away. It's the same thing with art. It's guaranteed that you will love it forever!
- Big is not always better!
Just because something fits on that big wall over your LCD,
does not mean it's necessarily the right artwork for you. Measurements should not necessarily be a determining factor. Buy
what you love and create the space for it!
- Do NOT think it'll be there
forever! Big art collectors move and shift their art around.
It is perfectly fine to do this! It's actually fun! When you move art pieces around, you are giving your space a whole new
perspective and the paintings gain a different viewing power.
- Start! Collecting
art gives you an indescribable satisfaction. Be proud of your collected art pieces, no matter if you have one or many. Remember,
you own a piece of someone's views, creativity and essence. Plus, collecting original artwork from established and emerging
artists is great investment!
