Welcome to Art & See

Welcome to Art & See, where we bring iconic art into everyday spaces. Since 2009, our mission has been straightforward: make world-class art accessible to everyone. We pride ourselves on quality and unique offerings that transform homes, offices, and hotels with handcrafted oil painting reproductions.

Our Story

Art & See began as a dream in 2009 when our founder Louie D., a renowned figure in art conservation, launched the 'Gallery in the Cloud.' This platform was the first step in our quest to fill common spaces with exceptional art. From an online gallery to a global provider of exquisite oil paintings, our journey has been marked by significant growth and widespread impact.

We've expanded our reach from local markets to international venues, supplying over 10,000 pieces annually to various sectors including luxury hotel chains and corporate clients. Through every piece sold, we support skilled artisans and contribute to preserving cultural heritageβ€”commitments that mirror our love for art and community.
