LOCALLY MADE, GLOBALLY LOVED
We come from very simple and humble beginnings. We started a small studio in Dar es Salaam, the capital city of Tanzania back in 1968. Our primary audience was foreigners and tourists who would visit us physically at the studio. But our vision was always ambitious. We always aimed to create and grow a world-class African art brand in our society and to be able to reach audiences all over the world. We aspired to create and paint unique paintings that look gorgeous! Today our style of paintings is regarded as the most popular and ubiquitous style on the continent with customers all over the world!
All our African paintings for sale online are individually handcrafted with durable canvases, the highest quality oil & acyclic paints and all are shipped in recyclable packaging materials directly from our gallery. Our materials are locally sourced and all our artists are all indigenous, making our style of art a truly proud African product!
POSITIVE IMPACT + SUSTAINABILITY
Africa has one of the largest visual arts creative industries in the world with home to hundreds of talented and diligent native artists having a prominent role in its cultural life. As the largest online African art gallery on the continent, we are committed to creating monetizable products that have positive impacts, not just to our customers and families, but on the quality of life of our community!
Our local artists are our most important asset, and we are dedicated to providing the necessary patronage and support that they need to thrive and succeed back here at home. We empower our artists and their families to break the cycle of poverty by breaking barriers and providing job opportunities and access to education, healthcare, greater prosperity, well-being and financial inclusion! Our positive and constructive impact is therefore felt across the community we live in! We reimagine how the lives of the people in our community could be elevated by deploying their artisan talents into making incredible African paintings that would delight people around the world!
TRANSFORMATIVE + INNOVATIVE!
Since the inception of our African art studio, we have been dedicated to employing the most highly marginalized and vulnerable in our communities or those thought to be unemployable. We recognize the depth of wealth of natural and cultural resources existing closer to home and it is with this ethos that we are able to make it possible to deploy local resources and human capital to create products that are handcrafted by our people and appreciated globally! Our innovative approach to painting and our ethical approach to labour also means that our artisans are paid fairly allowing them better access to opportunities and making them more financially inclusive in the society!
We are dedicated to improving the livelihood of our artisans that reside in our communities and making them more financially inclusive and productive. Our mission is therefore transformative using innovative solutions! Our goal is to cut out the middleman and get money directly into the hands of our artisans. As there is no middleman along our value chain, we are able to maximize profits which in turn means more and better paying jobs is created for the community and more foreign exchange is netted for the country!
Our objective is to make contemporary and modern African art accessible to everyone globally by eliminating geographical, financial, or psychological barriers!

"The customer service is fantastic. They responded quickly to every question, and the painting is even nicer than I had hoped based on the images on the computer screen. I worried about buying African art online, but highly recommend this company to anyone interested in beautiful art for their home. All went perfect: easy and quick communication and quick delivery. 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
"I had an amazing experience working with the artists. They quickly understood what I wanted, and delivered exactly what I envisioned, at the time promised. The way they handled my order, spoke a lot to me about their dedication to their work and their clients. I would highly recommend them, and will be working with them many more times to come. They shipped to Nairobi with a coach, and it arrived in two days after it was completed."
— 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
