You get a 250–300 word artist statement written in your voice, based on a questionnaire and a short call about your work, delivered in 5 to 7 days with two rounds of revisions included. I have read and coded over 100 public artist statements for a research study on how they are actually written, so I know what a jury reads in thirty seconds and what makes them stop and read the rest.
Need a bio, portfolio texts, and grant applications too? See the full artist texts package. This page is for artists who need only the statement, quickly and at a fixed scope.
What You Get
- A 250–300 word artist statement written in your voice, not a template
- A 100-word short version for applications and forms that ask for less
- Two rounds of revisions included
- Delivered in English, Spanish, or both
In a descriptive sample of 100 public artist statements, the median length was 252.5 words, ranging from 84 to 718. When I ran that study, the pattern that stood out was how rarely a statement named an audience, only 57 of 100 did, even though that is usually the fastest way to make a statement feel specific instead of generic.
Pricing & Timeline
| Deliverable | Starting price | Timeline |
|---|---|---|

| Artist statement | from €250 | 5-7 days |
| Statement + bio bundle | from €400 | 1-2 weeks |

These are starting prices in EUR. After I reply, you'll get a proposal confirming scope and the final price within 48 hours. If you already have a statement and want a professional pair of eyes on it, the review option is the fastest way to start.
Process
- Questionnaire + portfolio review. You send images or a portfolio link, your CV, and answers to a short questionnaire about your process and intent.
- 30-minute call. We talk through what the questionnaire could not capture. This is usually where the real material comes from.
- Draft in 5 days. You receive a full draft, plus the 100-word short version.
- Revisions. Two rounds included, so the final text actually sounds like you.
Why Me
I am an art historian and former Chief Editor of ART UKRAINE, with bylines in Vogue Ukraine and a decade covering exhibitions and interviewing artists across Europe. I ran the 100-statement research study that this page cites, so the advice here comes from reading and coding statements at scale, not from a single template I reuse for every client.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long should an artist statement be?
150 to 300 words works for most galleries, grants, and residencies. In our study of 100 public artist statements, the median length was 252.5 words, with a range from 84 to 718. I write to 250–300 words by default, then trim to a 100-word version for applications that ask for less.
Do you write in Spanish?
Yes, at a native level. Statements are delivered in English, Spanish, or both, so the same practice reads naturally to a jury in Madrid and a gallery in New York without going through a translator who has never seen the work.
What do you need from me?
Images or a portfolio link, your CV, and answers to a short questionnaire. That is enough for a first draft. If you have older statements or notes, send those too, though it is fine to arrive with nothing written down.
