OnlineArt was started by an artist who needed a simple way to get his paintings to a wider public. Now, run by a small group of like minded people who each bring their knowledge and experience of art, finance and PR to the company.
OnlineArt takes the work out of where and how art is sold so artists are free to be artists; it is our philosophy to make buying art as simple as possible.
As our name suggests, OnlineArt is a showcase web site where you can buy stunning original art, art prints, and much more, by some of the most talented Britishs and European artists. We sell artwork by established "names" as well as the cream of the crop of emerging talent.

OnlineArt simplifies your search and allows you to go straight to the source of the art. Your painting is packaged and delivered direct from the artist's studio.

Know who you're dealing with
It can take time to search lots of individual artist’s websites, we are a one-stop-shop. We have an individual relationship with all of our artists, and we choose them based on their reputation and professionalism. We make sure our artists are honest and reliable, so you are safe from unscrupulous traders.
Avoid auction-site art buying woes
We don't recommend buying original art from auction sites. It is very common for the art to be imported from the Far East, where it is not painted by real artists but by labourers working in factory or sweatshop conditions.
Art on auction sites is often very low priced. Whilst this seems attractive, it tells you that your art may be a copy of the picture you see, instead of the real thing, or an unethical import. Top quality art is extremely labour intensive, art materials and delivery all cost money. Our prices reflect the hard work of our artists and give assurance of quality to our customers.
All our art is created by artists living and working in Europe.
Credit card protection
When you use your credit card, you are protected by your own card issuers protection schemes. And because we use PayPal as our main payment processor, you are protected against online card fraud.
Money back guarantee
What's more, because we offer a full 14-day money back guarantee (no questions asked) you can be certain that you are taking no risk whatsoever when you buy from OnlineArt.
Money escrow
Avoid the risk of handing money to an artist with no guarantee of delivery dates or quality of work. With ArtOnline your payment is held in escrow until you have actually taken delivery of your artwork. Only then will we release the money to the artist. This ensures you can't get ripped off.
Delivery monitoring
We oversee every transaction, following the order from placement of order to delivery of your artwork, and beyond. We take the hassle of dealing with individual artists away.
Realistic prices
All our art is priced to sell. Most of our customers just want to buy their art and go. They don't want to haggle, so we have fixed prices.
When you buy art from OnlineArt, you are helping to foster a lively arts scene in this country. You are helping more artists to keep creating amazing art over the long term. This helps artists to get better and better. You can buy work from "name" artists with established reputations for a safe investment. Or you can buy from a new artist and watch as they grow.
