Live on Sundays at 2pm PST

Welcome! You’ve arrived at the latest and greatest art podcast! Art Condition will be interviewing industry experts, freelance professionals and serious hobbyists to discuss a wide variety of art related topics with a focus on the practice and the business of art, and how we can maintain mental health and well being in the face of all the challenges that artists must confront. Our hope is to expand the pool of resources and information for artists as well as inform (and entertain!) consumers and aficionados who may benefit from learning more about the inner workings of the art world and how much work it takes to make it work.

As artists how can we most effectively strategize and implement a marketing plan that works? How do you identify your target audience? How do we identify our competition and learn from their mistakes and successes?

This week we will be talking to

Daria Aksenova

Daria has been an independent artist since 2016 and has a massive amount of information for artists on running a business. This first meeting with Daria will center around marketing while future episodes willdive into website design, social media, advertising and more

From Daria:

“My name is Daria Aksenova and I'm a visual narrative artist known for my suspended paper, shadowbox-like ink work based on mythology and folklore. Each piece tells an elaborate story about interpersonal human behaviors rooted in the human condition, such as growth, emotionality, aspiration, conflict, and mortality. I use traditional mediums with a preference for black and white.

For my linework, I use a mix of Sakura Microns, Rotring Rapidographs, and inking nibs. Dozens of ink washes layered on top of each other create the shading gradient. Once finished, the illustrated layers are precisely hand-cut with a mix of scalpels and Excel blades and suspended against each other to create an illusion of movement and depth.”
