Art curators have become extremely important in recent years owing to the ferocious speed of modern life. Celebrities cannot find time to roam around cities and do the necessary research to acquire unique pieces of art. On the outside, being an art advisor may seem like a fun profession, but in reality, there is a massive amount of work to do. It’s highly rewarding, but not a field of flowers to aimlessly frolic in. Flavia Millen, an expert art advisor, believes the job goes beyond a mere passion for art. You can be the most ardent aesthete, but without the essential skills, being an art advisor won’t work out well for you.
Flavia is a highly-acclaimed art advisor with a long list of influential celebrity clientele to boast about. She is an authority in her field with a massive social media following, and social feeds bursting with unique and diverse content that never fails to mesmerize her followers. Flavia thoroughly enjoys her profession and it fuels her passion, but it’s definitely not a walk in the park. She asserts that the role demands knowledge, ethics, energy, discipline, and determination.
Knowledge
Art is not just a canvas filled with colors, shapes, and figures. There is always a story with different beliefs, ideals, and most importantly, historical-cultural contexts to a piece of art. It’s these aspects that make art so thought-provoking and soul-satisfying. Flavia believes that an art advisor needs to be fully versed in the knowledge of art and history to be able to curate a meaningful collection for a tasteful client.
Clear direction
It’s very easy to be mind-boggled and hit cul-de-sacs at every turn when you are not clear about the direction. One of the most important skills for an art advisor, according to Flavia, is to clear the noise in your head and have a clear vision of what the client wants even when it contradicts your own personal choice. Stand in your clients’ shoes, see it from their perspective, and pick the pieces that your client wants. Dedicate your time in finding out and knowing about your clients, and their aesthetic, social, philosophical, and ideological inclinations so you can render a valuable service.
Discipline
Discipline is one essential element of all successful personalities and Flavia Millen is no exception. The Instagram sensation and art connoisseur believes discipline is one such trait she attributes her success to. It’s a self-discipline that keeps her focused on the destination against all odds. Self-discipline keeps emotions, impulses, idiosyncrasies, and peculiarities at bay, which is extremely important for anyone who wants to achieve their life-long goal.
Success is never a linear journey nor a piece of cake, regardless of the profession. Some obstacles and hurdles can bar one’s way to success. With the right mix of personal and professional qualities, however, these obstacles can be easily surpassed, so that dreams finally become reality.
