How can I buy fine art online directly from the artist?

Kama Balluchi sells directly to collectors rather than through galleries. Request the private catalogue, discuss the work with the studio, and acquire the original online with certification and insured delivery — with no gallery commission added to the price.

What should a new art collector ask before buying?

Ask what the work is made of, how it was built, how it should be hung and cleaned, what documentation comes with it, and how the price compares to the artist's recent sales. Every one of those questions is answered in writing before you commit.

Do prices rise as the artist's work is collected?

Only a limited number of originals leave the studio each year, and pricing is reviewed as works are placed into private collections internationally. Early collectors acquire at the tier current at the time of purchase, recorded permanently in the archive.

The Artist

About the Artist: Kama Balluchi

"I do not paint to be seen. I paint so that one person, one day, recognises something of themselves in the surface."

South African Artist Kama Balluchi

Kama Balluchi is a South African contemporary artist creating original oil paintings, resin art, acrylic and mixed-media works. Her abstract practice draws on personal experience, South Africa's cultural richness and colour's expressive power, exploring love, resilience and unity.

Working from a private studio, she produces a deliberately limited number of original works each year. Each piece is one-of-one, hand finished, and released through private collector channels for the art collector who wants to buy fine art online with provenance and discretion.

Artist Statement

Her work is concerned with depth — physical, emotional and temporal. Layers are built, obscured and revealed until the surface holds a history of its own making. Nothing is decorative; every gesture is a record.

The private collector model is an extension of that philosophy. A work that has been endlessly reproduced across screens has already been consumed. Restraint returns the artwork to the collector who lives with it.
