Most people buy art as a social status. Some people buy art even if they do not like it because it is an investment. I know a family who bought a Picasso, yes they are rich, but stuck it in the bathroom because they thought it was ugly.
Now I am not rich, but I would make sure to spend my money on something worthwhile.
People that have money buy all kinds of stuff that is absolutely ridiculous. Most artwork I see especially post-modern art looks horrible and "crap" or call it "kitsch" .
Sad to see someone spend $40,000 on a minimal art painting. That money could have been spent to save animals, starving children, or the environment.

Often, as prices get higher, buyers are increasingly interested in the potential investment value of the arwork they purchase. Usually they will try to buy works from an up and coming artist or invest in a "solid value" like a Picasso sketch or a little-know Warhol. These works often climb in price progressively.
Other markets are sporadically flooded with interest, India's and China's contemporary art, for example, is experiencing an unprecedented boom.

My best suggestion would be to make a wire frame of what you want then use rock clay ( which is like a fabric covered in clay that dries really hard) or paper mache. A tree may be fun too make. Hope this helps xx

People buy art because it fullfills the desire to own something original, and usually the good and groundbreaking work is expensive.

Because they really appreciate the talent. Or for an investment.
