How are artists actually paid on Bello?

How are artists actually paid on Bello? It's one of the most common questions new buyers ask before their first purchase, and the honest answer is usually more reassuring than the worry behind the question.

The short answer

Rotating what's on the wall, even within a small apartment, keeps a collector looking at pieces rather than past them — familiarity is the main enemy of actually seeing a painting you've owned for three years.

Light is the quiet threat to most home collections — direct sun does more damage in a single bright afternoon than most collectors expect, and it's the cheapest problem in the world to solve by simply choosing a different wall.

The longer answer

Long-term art storage away from a home wall needs the same climate stability a hanging piece needs — a basement or garage that swings in temperature and humidity across seasons will do more damage over a year than most transit ever does.

Packing a stretched canvas correctly is less about padding and more about preventing the surface from ever touching anything rigid — most transit damage happens at a single contact point, not from the journey as a whole.

If you're weighing this on a specific piece — say, Sigrid Lunde's "High Basin" — the same policy applies regardless of price.
