Fine Artist

A Fine Artist is a creative professional who produces original artworks using a variety of mediums such as painting, sculpture, printmaking, or drawing.

Fine Artists are involved in conceptualising and developing artistic ideas, creating artworks that express their vision or commentary on societal issues, exhibiting their work in galleries or online platforms, and engaging with clients, collectors, or the public to promote and sell their pieces, while often managing the business aspects of their career such as marketing, networking, and handling finances to sustain their artistic practice.
