<aside> <img src="/icons/info-alternate_blue.svg" alt="/icons/info-alternate_blue.svg" width="40px" /> What artworks can be added? We support only one-of-a-kind physical artwork. Which means they are physical objects available in a quantity of one.

Defining artwork stage

On Subjektiv, you can add artwork at different stages:

• Finished artworks in which you don't plan to make any additional changes. Those artworks can be sold.
• In-progress artworks that you are creating. You just made your first sketch and want to share your future creative process with the community. That is an excellent option for that!

Adding artwork details

While adding a Finished artwork, you have to add the following details:

• Title

• Description: It can be an artwork idea, the story behind it, or even a quote that provoked you to create an artwork.

• Medium: Select one from the list.

• Images: We require at least 3 photos for flat artwork: front side, zoomed details, and back side of artwork. But you can add additional photos, too.

  <aside> <img src="/icons/info-alternate_yellow.svg" alt="/icons/info-alternate_yellow.svg" width="40px" /> Photo advice: Take artwork photos on a clear, one-color background. They will look higher quality and focus the viewer’s attention on the artwork.

  </aside>

• Dimensions: WxHxD in cm

• Factual weight: Optional for flat artworks such as paintings. Obligatory for sculptures and ceramics.

• Materials used

• Year of creation

• Style: Select one from the list. We use it for easy filtering in search.

• Subject: Select one from the list. We use it for easy filtering in search.

• Tags: They are optional. We use them only to improve artwork discoverability in search.

In-progress artwork requires less information from the list. The only difference here is that instead of images of finished artwork, we ask for:

• Main image: This is an image that will be used as a temporary photo of an artwork. It can be a photo of your first sketch or any other photo that represents the creation process.

The delivery process

The delivery process is divided into four steps:

2. We schedule delivery and packaging. We’ll contact you to schedule the delivery date and any additional packaging.
3. Packaging and artwork pick-up. Our partners will help you with the packaging (if you require help), and the delivery partner will take the artwork from its location.
4. Delivering. We will let you know once the artwork is delivered to the buyer.

Getting Paid

Once the artwork is delivered to the buyer, we will send your revenue to the connected payout account. The funds may be received in up to 7 days.
