Get Ready for Contemporary Art Studio & Gallery

They say an artist should be hungry. But when hunger becomes a way of life, it turns into a tragedy.

My name is STAYFIN, and I am a contemporary artist living in Subotica, Serbia. I am 30 years old, and I know exactly what I want: to create my own art studio and gallery—a space where I can freely create, and where anyone can visit, explore my work, connect with me, and maybe even take a piece of art home with them.

I believe that creativity should not be limited by space or circumstances. For me, art is life, and life is art. However, to bring this vision to reality, I need your support.

About My Future Gallery

The gallery will be located in the heart of Subotica, a beautiful city on the border with Hungary, where the architecture and atmosphere inspire artistic creation. I have already found the perfect space: 50 m² with a monthly rent of €500. This will be a place where I not only create but also host art events and build a vibrant creative community.

I want to show people openly what I do and gather groups to demonstrate my personal practice of meditation with a brush in hand. This practice allows me to combine art with inner peace and personal harmony. I believe that through art, a person can express their emotions, experiences, and ideas. This is exactly what I want to share with everyone who joins my sessions.

I would love to speak to people live about how art is available to absolutely everyone from birth. There is no good or bad art. Art is a personal expression, and it can be understood and perceived in many ways. What matters is not the form, but the process and sincerity behind it. I want to help each person unlock their creative potential and let go of the stereotypes that art must be “correct” or “beautiful.” Art is about self-expression, and it’s for everyone, not just professionals. My project aims to help people feel free in their expression and realize that art is not only for experts, but for each of us.

To make this possible, I need to create a space—a studio and gallery—where I can conduct workshops, host exhibitions, and share this experience with those ready to discover the world of art.

What I Need to Get Started:

One year of rent – €6,000

Equipment, tables, tools – €1,000

Materials (paints, canvases, brushes) – €1,000

Additional expenses & unforeseen costs – €2,000

Total goal: €10,000

What Do Donors Receive?

Everyone who supports me will receive a lifetime discount on my artwork, along with an exclusive art piece from me once the gallery is open.

Art is an exchange of energy. I am ready to give, but to do so, I need your help. Thank you to everyone who believes in me and in the power of art!
