Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mike Silva: The Incidental Moment
Q: How do you approach choosing photographs to paint from, and how does that selection interact with your process?
He explains that he pulls from a pile of photographs, stares at them for months, and allows lighting and subject matter to guide his choices, while remaining open to painting subjects that he didn't initially intend to, guided by a sense of tenderness and memory.
Mike Silva: The Incidental Moment
Q: For those that might not be familiar with your work, would you mind introducing yourself?
Mike Silva describes himself as a painter working toward a show in Copenhagen, emphasizing a move away from pure portraiture toward incidental moments and a tactile, intuitive painting approach.
Will Jarvis: Shaping a More Equitable Art Ecosystem
Q: What comes next for Gertrude in its mission to create a more equitable art ecosystem?
Gertrude will focus on strengthening the business, attracting larger investments, and expanding UX, branding, and sales funnel improvements to scale the platform while continuing to democratize access and support artists in professionalizing their practice.
Will Jarvis: Shaping a More Equitable Art Ecosystem
Q: How do digital spaces change the way collectors and artists interact today?
Digital spaces provide visibility and community, but they don't replace in-person experiences; they act as a supplementary layer that helps artists build following and transparency, enabling broader participation while preserving authenticity.
Will Jarvis: Shaping a More Equitable Art Ecosystem
Q: What advice would you give to someone who wants to start collecting art but doesn't know how to begin?
Download the Gertrude app to explore a curated and vetted selection, and focus on discovering your own taste rather than chasing price or status; take time to understand what resonates personally while engaging with the artists through the platform.
