NEXT ORIGINAL 00:00:00
When society traps us, we begin to believe everything we’re told. A long time ago, I started seeing more images of women (female representing people) losing their smiles in exchange of this mysterious look in their faces. Like, smiling was not valuable anymore.
Days ago, a friend reminded me of not letting society to dictate what I want to portray. It’s easy to lose the way to what we think everyone wants. I was working on this painting, and I was second guessing myself if I should have done a more serious expression.
But her smile was just too special. And I thought of something long established in my heart:
“Smiling is a form of resistance”.
And then this tiny painting finally made sense. Warm, happy and not complicated. Just a Gorgon smiling, to remind you that if the world wants to erase your true self, you resist!

In 2014, I had been going to art conventions for years, and I noticed a consistent puzzle. Artists were all talking about the struggle to sell, and everyone else was talking about the struggle to buy. Artists wanted to sell more work and experiment more outside their comfort zone. And the people buying wanted to buy more than they did. But the artists had to be consistent at these shows, and their art was often (deservedly) out of a starting collector’s price range.
I created Every Day Original to solve this puzzle. And it’s become much more.
At “EDO,” as it was soon called, we created a platform for artists to experiment with small work and for everyone to be able to start their art collection. Over the years, the success of EDO has allowed us to showcase new voices and voices that might otherwise not be “big” enough. Because we feature new work every single day, everyone has an opportunity to start their collection and support this vision.
By joining our mailing list, you join a community of people who believe that art isn’t just a commodity. It’s a passion and way of life that deserves to be seen and celebrated every day.
