Today we’d like to introduce you to Albert Algianny.
Albert, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I have been creating art for many years, and it is my favorite hobby besides collecting music. Around 2 years ago I started posting some of the art work on different social media outlets and from there I began receiving inquiries about the art pieces. That was when I decided to create Algianny Art.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
The use of technology and social media can certainly help with the promotion of a business, but it can also be limiting in terms of exposure. One of the many obstacles that I faced starting Algianny Art was to show the actual art pieces to the general public, and as part of the evolution I ended up renting a space in Logan Square at Positive Space Studios. The creative space allows me to connect with other fellow artist, and most importantly it gives me an opportunity to connect with customers.
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Algianny Art – what should we know?
The Algianny Art business is a combination of an online store and a physical location in which I can create and work on commission artwork. The business website offers a wide range of art, and home decor based on my art work. Art is without a doubt a passion of mine so I like to be inventive and create art with different mediums and audiences in mind. It seems like most people that have seen my art have a greater affection towards the abstract and the landscapes that I have created. The main goal with my art work is to transport people to a different dimension and provide some sort of joyful feeling through the art work.
Any shoutouts? Who else deserves credit in this story – who has played a meaningful role?
My spouse, family, and friends played a key role in the development of Algianny Art, since they were the first ones to support my hobby and help me develop Algianny Art into a business idea. Another key element was the support of many followers from different social media outlets that help me find my way and my place in the art community.
