Launching soon
The marketing platform for artists — launching soon.
We turn your work into ads that make people stop: for every piece, the sentence that explains what makes it rare — and an agent that talks to buyers for you. We are selecting our first artists now.

Why this works
In 1975, someone sold stones from the beach.
The stone never changed. Only the reason to want it was suddenly there. Your painting can do far more than a stone — it just needs its reason.
Example
From “new painting” to a reason
How most artists post
New painting available. Oil on canvas, 74 × 92 cm.
What the agent sees
Deep blue night, a swirling sky, glowing stars, a dark cypress in front, a church spire and a small village asleep below.
The sentence that makes people stop
The view from his asylum window before sunrise — with a village that was never there.
The work is the same. Now there is a reason to look twice — and a question the buyer wants answered.
Good art does not sell itself
Most artists post a new work with “new painting available” and wait. Nothing happens — not because the work is weak, but because nobody told the viewer why this piece is different from the thousand others in their feed.
Often the work also sits in the wrong place: tagged in the wrong category, shown to people who collect something else, priced without a reason.
The first rule of marketing art: find the buyer who values what you make — not just any buyer.
What you get
The sentence for every work
What makes this piece rare — its material, its colour, its story. The line that makes people stop scrolling.
Ads for Instagram and Facebook
Your work with its sentence, ready to post. You choose which one.
Your page on lakatosbandi.com
lakatosbandi.com/your-name — your works, each with its sentence.
An agent that talks to buyers
It answers interested people, collects name and phone number and passes them to you. You make the call.
Our marketing principles
- 01
The reason sells, not the thing
The stone never changed. Your work does not need to change either — it needs its reason, said out loud.
- 02
Find the buyer who values it
Not any buyer. The one who collects what you make and is willing to pay for it.
- 03
Nothing invented
Every sentence comes from what is really in the work: colour, material, subject, story. No empty superlatives.
- 04
One style, one signature
Collectors ask: do you have more of this? An artist who keeps a style builds value.
- 05
The right category
Figurative, abstract, landscape, portrait — the right place brings the right people.
- 06
An honest price
Unknown artists usually ask 200–1,000 €, known artists 1,000–2,000 €, established artists more. We place your price, we don't flatter it.
- 07
Speed wins
Whoever calls back the same day reaches the buyer. That is why your agent collects the phone number and you get it at once.
What makes it different
We promote the platform
We run the ads for lakatosbandi.com ourselves — so buyers come to the artists on it, not only to one post of yours.
Your own agent
Every artist gets an agent that answers interested buyers at any hour — while you paint.
Ads made from your work
Not a template: the sentences come from what is really in your paintings. You can run the same ads yourself.
Your dashboard
Every inquiry with name and phone number, your sentences and ads, new works and new sentences whenever you want.
Honest, not flattering
Category and price are discussed openly. An agent that only nods would be worthless to you.
No commission
What you sell is yours. You only pay for the agent once it brings you interested buyers.
How it works
- 1
Show us your work
Talk to our agent and upload at least three works in the same style. It looks at medium, style, subject and what is rare.
- 2
Category and price
Together you place your style where it belongs and talk honestly about your price — also when it is uncomfortable.
- 3
Sentences and ads
You get a sentence for your works and the ads built from them.
- 4
Review and launch
We look at every artist ourselves and decide within 3 days. Approved artists are on lakatosbandi.com.
How we find our artists
Nobody is simply listed. Every artist goes through the same path:
Ads and recommendations
We look for artists through our ads, through social media and through artists who recommend others.
A conversation with our agent
No form: the agent asks about your work, your style and your goals.
Three works in the same style
This is the admission test. Whoever does not have that yet gets an honest sentence about what is missing — and can come back.
Category and price
We place your style and talk about your price before anything is built.
Reviewed by us
A person looks at every artist. Decision within 3 days — approved or declined.
Why we select
A platform is only as good as the work on it. That is why we accept artists who show at least three works in the same style — a single picture says nothing yet about an artist.
Painted and drawn nudes are welcome. We do not accept nude photography at the moment.
What it costs
Applying and starting is free: your sentences, your ads, your page and your agent.
Once three interested buyers have contacted you, we ask whether you want to keep your agent for €10 a month. Cancel monthly.
Sales happen between you and the buyer. We take no commission.
Why join now
When lakatosbandi.com opens to buyers, the first artists on it are the first works they see.
You help shape the platform: what you tell us in these first weeks decides what we build next.

The engine behind the platform
VersusForge is an AI agent built for one job: marketing. It looks at what you make, finds what is rare about it and turns it into the sentence that makes people stop — and into the ad around it.
On lakatosbandi.com the same engine works for artists: it interviews you, writes your sentences, builds your ads and talks to your buyers.
Who we are
lakatosbandi.com carries our two names.
Geza Lakatos
Designer (Dipl.) & AI Consultant
Szidonia Bandi
Artist
Both of us have many years of experience in art and marketing. We know both sides: making the work — and getting it seen by the people who value it.
We are based in Romania.
Questions
Do I need to know anything about marketing?
No. The agent asks you questions, looks at your works and builds the sentences and ads with you.
Do you sell my work?
No. We bring you interested buyers with name and phone number. Price and sale are between you and the buyer.
Which languages?
English, Romanian and German. The agent talks to you in your language.
Can I delete everything?
Yes, at any time — your page, your works and all inquiries.
Ready to show your work?
The conversation takes a few minutes. Have three works in the same style ready.
