Our concept Our Team

 

At Art Traffik, our commitment is clear: to ACT in the best interests of our Artists & Customers, because both parties expect and demand the same. 

We have made it our Ethos :

+ Always more demanding : uncompromising selection, expert advice & unwavering commitment

+ Building stronger connections : proximity, openness, availability

+ More equity: maintaining low commission rates in comparison to art market standards

Because actions speak louder than words !

As a result, our reputation has been built on:

  • The trust and loyalty of our customers : collectors, art enthusiasts, or occasional buyers
  • The relationship we uphold with and for our Artists, whether internationally renowned or emerging

Art Traffik is the future’s next-generation gallery, combining the services and principles of a traditional gallery with the potential internet has to offer ! (we’re not just another marketplace filled with "suppliers & products")


Unleash Your Creativity - No Subscriptions, Just Opportunities.

Our philosophy is grounded in four core beliefs:

 

  • An artist's true potential shines when they have the freedom to create.
  • A true artist is one who questions and works with sincerity and authenticity.
  • Artists deserve the freedom to concentrate solely on their work, while galleries take care of the rest.
  • Artists need to thrive from their art in order to keep creating in their studios.

Which is why :

  • There are no subscription fees and we only earn from sales.
  • We’ve again slashed our commission rates.
  • We aim to serve artists and their needs.
  • Our selection process is based on talent and merit.
  • Exclusivity is not mandatory, except if an artist opts to collaborate with us exclusively.
We offer two service packages tailored to your specific needs:
