Read a listing#
Before you buy, check these on the artwork's page:
What to check
- Dimensions in inches. Measure your wall to be sure it fits.
- Whether it's framed, signed, and comes with a certificate of authenticity
- The condition and the year it was made
- Ships from: the artist's city, which affects shipping cost and time
- Every photo, including close-ups and any room preview
Buying a higher-priced piece? Our guide to verifying authentic paintings covers certificates, provenance and what to ask the seller.
Save favorites#
Tap Like (the heart) on any artwork
It's saved to your favorites, in a folder named after its category, such as Painting. A note at the bottom of the screen says “Saved to Painting”. Tap Change in that note to pick a different folder.
Organize them into folders
Open DashboardFavorites. Tap a folder to filter, + New folder to make one like “Living room” or “Gift ideas”, and Move to folder on any piece to move it.
Follow artists#
Tap Follow next to the artist's name on any of their artworks, or on their profile. Their new work appears in your Feed, so you see it before it sells.
Message the artist#
Artists sell directly to you, so you can ask them anything before you buy.
Tap Message on the artwork or the artist's profile
On an artwork, it's in the About the artist box further down the page, next to Follow.
Ask your question
Good things to ask:
Ideas
- Can I see a photo of the back, the edges, or the signature?
- Can you send a photo of it on a wall, for scale?
- Is it ready to hang?
- Would you make a similar piece as a commission?
Find replies in DashboardMessages
You'll also get an email and a notification when the artist replies.
Always pay through Obramaestra
Common questions#
Can I reserve a piece while I decide?
No. Every piece is one of a kind and goes to whoever pays first. Saving it to your favorites keeps it easy to find, but doesn't hold it.
A piece I love is sold. What can I do?
Tap Request commission on the listing to ask the artist for something similar, and follow them so you see their next work first.
