“Like a Love Affair”: How to Know You’ve Found ‘The One’ in Art

As the founder of KAB Gallery, which I established in 2013, I proudly operate two beautiful art gallery spaces located in NSW. One on the beachfront at Terrigal, the Central Coast’s most loved art gallery, and the other is conveniently located on the Pacific Highway at Pymble, which has become a renowned and locally treasured North Shore art gallery. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of helping countless art collectors find their perfect pieces. It is a special moment when you realise you’ve found ‘the one’ in art, and it’s often likened to the feeling of falling in love.

We love it!

For some collectors, that connection is immediate. They step into the gallery, see a piece that resonates instantly, and just know it’s meant to be. It’s a spontaneous bond, and they purchase with confidence, often during their first visit. However, for many others, the process is more gradual, requiring time and consideration. This is perfectly natural. When trying to determine if an artwork is ‘the one,’ I always suggest spending time truly absorbing the piece. Let it speak to you and evoke emotions. If you find yourself feeling at peace, content, or even excited at the thought of waking up to this artwork every day, then it’s likely that you’ve found the perfect addition to your home.

Take your time to admire the work in person. Having two art galleries gives art collectors an opportunity to see the art in person.

 

If the right piece hasn’t yet revealed itself, commissioning a custom artwork is an excellent alternative. Working closely with a trusted gallerist like myself and the dedicated team at our Terrigal or Pymble galleries allows you to create a one-of-a-kind piece that’s tailored to your vision, without incurring extra costs. Trust is essential in this process. It’s about collaborating with someone who truly understands your tastes and preferences, ensuring that the final artwork is one you’ll cherish for years to come.

At both our Terrigal and Pymble locations, myself and the team of gallerists are committed to making your art-buying experience as seamless and rewarding as possible. Whether you’re drawn to the coastal charm of our Central Coast art gallery or the contemporary elegance of our North Shore space, we’re here to help you find or create a piece of art that’s more than just a decoration.

It’s an investment in beauty, a source of daily joy, and, most importantly, ‘the one’ you’ve been searching for.
