How buying works here
No gallery middleman, no guessing whether your money is safe. Here's exactly what happens from the moment you find a piece to the moment it's on your wall.
From first look to your wall
Step 1
Discover
Browse one-of-a-kind originals by medium, category, location, price, or size. Nothing here is a print or an edition — once a piece sells, it's gone.
Step 2
Connect, or just buy
Ask the artist a question about a piece — size, framing, the story behind it — or check out right away. Nobody's making you go through a gallery to do either.
Step 3
The artist ships it
The artist packages and ships the piece to you, and marks it shipped — that's what starts the clock on the 14-day window below.
Step 4
Confirm receipt — it's yours
Once you confirm the piece arrived, the artist gets paid and it's officially on your wall. Don't confirm in time and it releases automatically after 14 days.
Payment methods, exact refund rules, and shipping fees are covered in more detail on the FAQ and Returns pages.
Your money is never just handed over
Escrow protection, in four stages.
You pay
Funds move into escrow, not to the artist.
Held safely
Obramaestra holds the payment while the piece is prepared and shipped.
Artist ships
The 14-day window starts the moment it's marked shipped.
You confirm
You confirm receipt — or it auto-releases after 14 days.
Built for collectors, not just browsers
Everything below is a real, working feature on your account today — not a roadmap promise.
Favorites, auto-organized
Like a piece and it's saved to a folder for its category automatically — no manual filing.
Follow artists
Follow an artist to keep up with new listings from people whose work you actually like.
Real filters, not endless scroll
Narrow a whole gallery down by medium, category, province, price, and size.
Ask before you buy
Comment directly on a listing — size, materials, shipping — and the artist answers on the piece itself, not in a DM you'll lose.
Ratings both ways
Buyers and artists rate each other after an order completes, so reputation is visible before you commit.
Order notifications
Know the moment your order is paid, shipped, delivered, or completed — no refreshing a dashboard.
