Gifts for the art lover who has everything
They already own the books, the prints and the gallery membership. Give them something no museum shop sells — their favourite painting, hand-painted in oils.
Six gifts that impress people who know art






What do you give someone who loves art?
The trick with art lovers is that their taste is the gift’s biggest risk — and its biggest opportunity. If you know their favourite artist, you’re set: our artists hand-paint museum-quality reproductions of more than thirty masters, from Van Gogh and Monet to Frida Kahlo and Klimt, true to each painter’s own technique. Can’t find the exact painting? We’ll paint any artwork on request.
For birthdays, a hand-painted portrait of their pet is the gift that gets the biggest reaction we see in reviews. And when their taste is simply too particular to guess — the truest art-lover trait of all — a Direct Art gift card hands them the entire gallery and turns choosing into part of the present. It’s emailed in minutes, never expires, and works on everything including commissions.
Can’t find their favourite painting?
We hand-paint any artist, any artwork, on request — tell us what they love and we’ll send you a quote.
