Co-Creation: A New Paradigm
Online co-creation is at the heart of the mission of Artur.art. This approach allows citizens to become active participants in the artistic process, by co-defining the dimensions, colors, and symbols of the artworks they commission. It enables a more direct and personal interaction with art, transforming the passive viewer into an active participant.
Democratization and Risks of Artistic Creation
The Cultural Industry and the Digital Transition
Visual art has often been perceived as elitist, reserved for a minority able to access galleries and understand the complex codes of contemporary art. The digital transition, however, opens new opportunities to overcome these barriers. Artur.art breaks down the traditional barriers of the “curator of artists” and offers greater visibility to a multitude of artists through an intuitive and secure interface.
Passive Art and Social Media
Social media has changed how we consume art, often encouraging passive engagement and superficial appreciation. Platforms like Instagram and Pinterest can reduce connection with the works. To counter this trend, it is helpful to foster interactive and participatory experiences that encourage a more engaged audience.
Trivialization of Art
The trivialization of art is a concern in the digital age, where AI art generators and mass production risk diluting unique artistic expressions. The convenience of digital tools can lead to an oversupply of mediocre works, sidelining the efforts of talented artists. To preserve the value and importance of art, it is crucial to emphasize its symbolic and cultural significance, presenting it as a meaningful and personal endeavor.
The Power of Landscapes and Portraits
Imagine a stunning landscape capturing the beauty of the sea and sky, or a touching portrait of your loyal dog. Each work is more than just a painting, it is a piece of your story, told through art. Our artists can transform memorable photos into portraits, capturing specific moments and genuine emotions.

By facilitating co-creation and reducing economic barriers, Artur.art transforms the way we interact with art and support artists. Join us on this journey to make art an accessible, inclusive and participatory experience for all.
Democratizing Art through Economic Accessibility
The economic democratization of art involves making artistic creation tools accessible to all socio-economic classes. This can be achieved by providing equal access to tools and online platforms, ensuring that everyone can participate in the artistic creation process. By presenting engaging and well-structured information on artistic opportunities, platforms can act as cultural relays that connect citizens to various co-creation initiatives.
Reducing the Impact of Standardization in Digital Art
The integration of AI art tools and automated printing systems has significantly reduced the cost of producing unique artworks. However, this reduction in cost and time can also lead to the standardization of art, where personalization is lost. To prevent this, it is crucial to redirect the capital generated by AI-assisted processes toward enhancing human creativity. Initiatives such as DIY art projects, which have been shown to produce a high state of flow and engagement, can foster a deeper connection between the artist and the public.

Art and Personality for a Personalized Democratization
center bg-token-main-surface-primary text-token-text-primary h-8 w-8″>Each person will experience their first encounter with a work of art differently depending on their psychism. Isabel Briggs Myers and her mother, Katharine Cook Briggs, developed the MBTI (Myers Briggs, 1921), based on Carl Gustav Jung’s theories on psychological types, used to evaluate and categorize individual psychological preferences across different dimensions. We can look at this segmentation to try to understand how personality types might influence our aesthetic preferences, thus opening different pathways of appreciation for art based on one’s psychological profile. The MBTI as a unit of analysis is debated. Personally, I consider it an interesting entry point for seeing and interpreting the various relationships between art and the psychology of the individual.
Individuals with a preference for Sensation (S) tend to appreciate art that presents concrete details, textures, and tangible visual elements. These works, often rich in precision and minutiae, capture their attention through the clarity of the elements that make them up. In contrast, those with a preference for Intuition (N) are generally attracted to abstract, conceptual, or symbolic art. These works, less focused on concrete details, invite broader interpretations and reflection, stimulating imagination and creative thinking.
