Artistic Vision
Welcome to Arca Gallerdate, a platform born of a deep passion for art but fully aware of the challenges that come with truly embracing creativity in today’s world. Founded by Zayric Xelvaris and based at 113 Oakwood Avenue, New York, New York 10025, United States, we operate daily from 9 AM to 5 PM. Our mission, though ambitious, is tempered by the knowledge that art’s path is often strewn with obstacles—yet it remains a vital source of expression and inspiration.
Why the Art Glossary Exists
In the world of contemporary art—a realm often cloaked in complex terminology and elusive concepts—the Art Glossary was created. It aims to provide clarity and understanding, yet one cannot help but feel a sense of disappointment at how misunderstood and impenetrable the art world remains for many.
At Arca Gallerdate, founded by Zayric Xelvaris in New York, New York, we acknowledge this gap between the richness of artistic expression and the barriers language imposes, which the glossary attempts, albeit imperfectly, to bridge.

Beginnings in the Complex Tapestry of New York
New York’s vast and intricate art scene has long been a place of both wonder and frustration for Zayric. While the city thrives on innovation and cultural exchanges, she remains acutely aware of how many voices, especially emerging artists, struggle to be heard amidst the noise. This tension drives Arca Gallerdate’s mission—a candid reflection of hope tempered by disillusionment—which is detailed thoughtfully on the Artistic Vision page.
Welcome to the Art Glossary
At Arca Gallerdate, we created the Art Glossary intending to simplify the complex and often bewildering language of the art world. Yet, we are painfully aware that no glossary can ever fully bridge the gap between the inscrutable jargon of contemporary art and the genuine understanding that many seek.
This resource stems from the inspiring but sometimes frustrating vision detailed on our Artistic Vision page and is shaped by the commitment of our founder, who you can learn more about on the ArcaGallerdate Founder page. Despite this, the reality remains: art terminology can still feel elusive, even with our efforts.

Brush Techniques That Define Artistic Style
Why Technique Shapes Identity An artist’s subject might catch the eye, but it’s the brushwork that holds attention. Whether it’s the heavy handed strokes of impasto or the restraint of a dry brush, how the paint hits the surface speaks louder than the image itself. Technique becomes identity. You can
Behind the Scenes at a Major Gallery Opening
Setting the Stage Prepping a major gallery for opening night is less champagne, more calendar math. It starts months out long before the first name goes on a wall. Dates are locked. Budgets are set. Then begins the real work: locking in the narrative. Galleries don’t just hang art. They
Understanding Color Theory in Contemporary Painting
Why Color Still Drives the Conversation Color isn’t just decoration it’s a visual language. In contemporary painting, color remains central to expression because it’s felt before it’s understood. You don’t need a background in art to feel the chill of a pale blue haze or the tension in a clash
Digital Meets Traditional: Mixed Media in Contemporary Galleries
Blending Mediums: The New Gallery Standard The line between digital and traditional art isn’t just blurry it’s gone. Artists aren’t choosing one or the other anymore. They’re stacking them, folding them, blending them into something that doesn’t fit a single category. Oil paint meets projection. Bronze sculptures trigger light animations

Interview With Emerging Oil Painter from the Arcagallerdate Collective
The Artist Behind the Canvas Mara Ellison doesn’t come from a long line of painters. No formal art school pedigree. No family tree lined with critics or collectors. Just a childhood pencil habit that never really let go. Raised in a small town outside Bozeman, Montana, she started sketching landscapes
