LOCALLY MADE, GLOBALLY LOVED
In 1968, we established a modest studio in Dar es Salaam, the capital city of Tanzania, where we began our journey in the African art industry. At the time, our primary customer base consisted of foreign tourists who visited our studio. However, we had a broader vision of building a globally recognized African art brand and introducing our unique and exquisite paintings to audiences worldwide. Today, our signature style is widely acclaimed as the most popular and sought-after across the continent, with a loyal customer base spanning the globe.
Each piece of African art available for purchase on our website is meticulously handcrafted by our skilled local artists, using only the finest materials such as premium-quality oil and acrylic paints and durable canvases. We take pride in our commitment to sustainability, and we reflect this in our use of eco-friendly packaging materials for all our orders, which are shipped directly from our gallery. Our materials are sourced locally, and we engage indigenous artists to create pieces that capture the true essence of African art.
We are dedicated to providing an exceptional customer experience, and we strive to offer a diverse range of art pieces that will appeal to different tastes and preferences. Our aim is to promote and preserve the rich cultural heritage of Africa through our art, and we hope to share this passion with art enthusiasts worldwide.
POSITIVE IMPACT + SUSTAINABILITY
Africa boasts one of the most prominent creative industries in the world of visual arts, with a plethora of native artists playing a significant role in the continent's cultural tapestry. As the largest online gallery specializing in African art on the continent, we are committed to producing monetizable products that not only benefit our customers and their families but also enhance the quality of life in our community.
At the core of our organization are our local artists, who are the driving force behind our success. We are dedicated to providing them with the necessary support and patronage to thrive and prosper back here at home. Through our initiatives, we empower these talented individuals and their families by removing obstacles, providing employment opportunities, access to education, healthcare, and financial inclusion, leading to greater prosperity and well-being.
Our positive and constructive impact is felt throughout the community, as we work tirelessly to reimagine the artisan talents of our community and channel them into creating exceptional African paintings that would captivate people worldwide while enhancing the lives of those in our community.
Our vision is to showcase the rich African culture through our art while also uplifting and empowering the talented individuals in our community. We remain steadfast in our mission to drive change and make a positive impact by creating a sustainable ecosystem that benefits all.
TRANSFORMATIVE + INNOVATIVE!
At our African art studio, we have made a steadfast commitment to advancing economic opportunities for our most marginalized and vulnerable community members, including those who have been deemed unemployable.
We recognize the tremendous potential of our local area's natural and cultural resources, and strive to leverage these assets and human capital to create exquisite handcrafted products that are not only prized around the world but also provide our artisans with fair compensation and greater access to economic opportunities.
Our mission is to cultivate financial inclusivity and productivity among our artisans, using innovative approaches that truly transform lives. By eliminating middlemen throughout our value chain, we are able to maximize profits, generate increased foreign exchange, and create more high-paying jobs in our community. Our ultimate aim is to make contemporary and modern African art available to a global audience, breaking down geographical, financial, and psychological barriers along the way.

I would recommend this wensite to everyone who likes African art!"

"I have a number of African paintings collected while in East Africa in the 80's. I wanted a new one for a present and was amazed at how easy it was to use the online store to order a new African painting. Responses to my enquiries were very prompt and I found the whole process incredibly easy and efficient. The painting was delivered safely and is exactly what I wanted."
— Lawrence Alpren, United Kingdom
"This was an entirely satisfying experience. There was continuous communication with the team in Africa. They helped instantly when the package got stuck at customs in Hannover (which happens routinely). They were also extremely friendly and sent me a beautiful little gift to excuse for a time delay. The painting took a little longer than usual thanks to lots of orders before Christmas. The painting arrived here in perfect shape."
— Irene Wagner-Döbler, Germany
"They deliver what they promise. The work of art I ordered from them arrived in a timely manner. It was carefully packed, so it arrived in pristine condition. The customer service was also very helpful and timely in response to my questions. Most importantly, the painting I ordered is of a high quality as well as being reasonably priced. It hangs in my office and people often remark on how special it is."
— Marianne Mink, Netherlands

"I found this online store where I bought several African paintings with discount. They packed very well so the paintings safely arrived. It's amazing to get African paintings. I am really happy with them and I sent the paintings to be framed at a local framing shop in South Korea. "

"After a trip to Africa (where I was an eco-volunteer to monitor endangered species), I wanted to find paintings where I could see again the beautiful animals I had admired for real whilst I was in Africa. This website gave me that opportunity. I could buy two paintings. Somehow they evoke Douanier Rousseau's spirit and look. I love them and they naturally found their place in my living room and dining room."
— Florence Feynerol, France
"I had a great visit at the location of this African art studio. It is nice and offers a very large choice of paintings. You can see the local artists working while you browse what is available. The process is seamless and transparent from the order all the way to the final delivery. The quality of the painting was excellent as well. The experience was great. The paintings are simply WOW! Beautiful."
— Judith Sanders, Netherlands
"Working with these artists was an absolute joy! They understood my ideas right away and worked tirelessly to create exactly what I had in mind, all while sticking to our agreed-upon timeline. Their attention to detail and dedication to their craft really shone through in the way they handled my order. I'm so happy with the finished product, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch work. Plus, their shipping was crazy fast - my order arrived in Nairobi just two days after it was finished! I can't wait to work with them again in the future."
— Susan Schlachter, Kenya

"Very good work, the picture is well done and nice. The motives are funny but also show typical scenes about life in Africa in a homorous manner. Communication has been clear and prompt, they supported my decision -making with open-ness and helpful information and the purchasing process was straightforward. I have just received the most magnificent painting. It is glorious: a joyous celebration of life’s rich natural diversity."
— Berthold Schwarz, Germany
"My family and I have bought two African styled paintings from this art studio. I love them as they remind me of my childhood growing up in Tanzania. I have also taught this style of painting to primary school children that I teach here in Australia. They do amazing artwork. My paintings have arrived promptly and in original condition and the shipping with Skynet was quick too."
— Jennifer Scott, Australia
