About Picturi.com
Our Story
Picturi was founded more than 20 years ago (in 2004) with a simple yet powerful mission: to connect artists with art lovers around the world. We believe that art has the power to transform spaces, inspire minds, and bring people together.
Our platform serves as a vibrant marketplace where talented artists can showcase their original paintings and reach a global audience, while art enthusiasts can discover unique pieces that speak to them and bring beauty into their homes and workspaces.
Unlike traditional art galleries or other online platforms, Picturi does not store or handle any artwork. All paintings are created, stored, photographed, and shipped directly by the artists themselves. We simply provide the platform for artists and art lovers to connect.
Our Mission
We're dedicated to making art more accessible to everyone while ensuring artists receive fair compensation for their creative work. Picturi strives to:
- Help emerging and established artists gain visibility and recognition
- Provide art collectors with a diverse selection of original artworks
- Create a supportive community that celebrates artistic expression
- Make the art buying and selling process transparent and enjoyable
- Offer artists a subscription-based platform with no sales commissions
Our Values
Authenticity
We value originality and ensure all artwork on our platform is authentic and created by the artists themselves.
Integrity
We operate with honesty and transparency in all our dealings with artists and collectors.
Diversity
We celebrate artistic diversity and support creators from all backgrounds and styles.
Our Business Model
Unlike many art marketplaces that charge commission fees on sales, Picturi operates on a subscription model where artists pay a monthly fee to showcase their work. This means:
- Artists keep 100% of their sales
- No hidden fees or commissions for buyers or sellers
- Artists maintain complete control over pricing, shipping, and customer relations
- Buyers deal directly with artists for all transaction details
This transparent business model allows artists to fairly price their work while providing art lovers with authentic pieces straight from the creators.
