I stopped by the Desire Art Gallery today to buy my mom a Mother's Day gift. However, the person working in the gallery greeted me with an extremely condescending and disrespectful attitude. He said that the paintings started at 10,000 TL and pushed me away almost as if these prices were too much for me, sarcastically saying, “Buy small things for your mother, from the inn” with an attitude that almost drove me away. Unfortunately, the elegance, respect and attention expected from an art gallery were not here. It is not right to approach anyone's income, intentions or budget in this way. I do not recommend this kind of experience to anyone.

It's really ironic that you work in an art gallery as someone who has nothing to do with art, is ignorant of kindness and communication. This condescending attitude of judging people by their income level both reduces the value of the place you represent and is completely contrary to the essence of art. Art is not represented with arrogant looks; it is represented with understanding, clarity and spirit. It's sad to see that you have less depth than any of the works on display in that gallery. Knowledge of art is not gained by memorizing the price of a painting; I wish you had the equipment to understand it. This approach of looking down on people and thinking you're important makes you just an ordinary and disrespectful person. It is very clear that you are not serving art, but your ego.
