The Online Art Gallery That’s Becoming the New Hub for Collectors
Build your art collection from the comfort of your home. Singulart is an online art and design gallery dedicated to transforming the art market. Representing over 12,000 artists and designers from 110 countries, here’s how Singulart is changing the way we view, experience and buy art.
It’s an International Stage for Artists
Being an online platform, Singulart provides the ideal stage to showcase various mediums – painting, sculpture, photography, textile, prints and furniture – from a large selection of artists you wouldn’t see in a traditional gallery. This includes emerging artists to established names in the art world. Singulart’s selection is expansive with a strong focus on gender equity – 49 percent of their represented artists being women.

One of the rising stars of the art world, Spanish photographer Fares Micue, is one of Singulart’s “Top 10 Women Artists to Watch in 2023”. Her surreal portraits reflect themes of love, loneliness and self-improvement, which are conveyed through the use of saturated colours and symbols such as flowers and balloons. Singulart’s collection also includes well-known artists like Grégory Herpe whose work has been shown in permanent collections throughout the world, and whose subject matter focuses on social and cultural groups from around the world.

Allows Unlimited Access
The ability for anyone to view artwork created from artists across the globe is now easier than ever. Ever heard of mixed-media artist Marilyn Henrion from the United States, or Kh Bamba from Senegal? Thanks to Singulart, art buyers have the opportunity to experience the joy of their colourful textile work. Marilyn uses intricate needlework of colour and form to create fabric collages of digitally manipulated photographs of urban spaces and buildings. Kh Bamba is an abstract expressionist who explores humanity, culture and tradition through the use of vibrant textiles and paint on canvas.

Expert Advice in 25 Languages
Although Singulart’s business model is an online gallery, it understands the importance of human connection. Exploring and purchasing art can be intimidating and overwhelming, so a team of over 120 Art Advisors who speak over 25 languages can help guide any novice or experienced art lover. These Advisors help ensure that buying online is a seamless process. They ask about your taste, the pieces you like, or if you have a current collection you’re looking to build.
But it doesn’t end there. There are also Interiors Advisors who help commission custom artwork and advise on framing options, while Investment Advisors discuss an artwork’s market value, an artist’s background and career trajectory.
There is also an online magazine that provides tips on purchasing art, and valuable information about artists, genres and new artists.

Custom Curated for You
In addition to providing expert advisors, Singulart creates curated galleries according to style, theme, subject matter and more, further defining your search.

Themes such as “Emerging Abstract Painters in 2023” and “Top 10 Sustainable Artists”, are designed to educate and inspire. Billed as one of the “Artists to Watch in 2023”, Romanian artist Edith Torony addresses ideas of consumerism, waste and pollution.

Once you start tagging pieces you like, the company’s online curators pay attention to your interests and can make suggestions. There is no pressure to buy and no rush to make a decision.
But when you do, art is professionally and safely delivered to your door, shipping and taxes included.
More Than Just a Transaction
Singulart is not strictly about buying and selling. They are dedicated to supporting and empowering their artists. The company provides artists with residences within their art community, and even connect them with an agent advisor to help artists grow their careers and reputation. Singulart’s goal is to reinvent the art market in a way that is inclusive and accessible.
