Is a work of art purchased, or is it better said, that it is the artist who is bought?

A painting I created has my talent and skill. It is a part of how I see my world. A collector is buying what I paint. But I am also defined by other things. I have strong values so I am not selling myself as anything but an artist creating work. I am more defined by the measure of a man I am. So you are buying a painting I happened to paint.
