Buy Original Art in Dubai
Hand-painted, one-of-a-kind paintings by Dubai artist Radka Gicheva. No prints. No reproductions. Just original art.
Buying original art is one of the most personal decisions you can make for your home. Unlike furniture, which serves a function, or décor, which fills a gap, original art speaks. It carries the energy of its creation — the decisions the artist made at 2 AM, the colours she mixed by instinct, the marks she left when the brush moved faster than thought. When you hang an original painting, you are not just decorating; you are inviting a conversation.
Dubai has become one of the world's most exciting art markets. The city's rapid growth, cosmopolitan population, and appetite for luxury have created a collector base that spans first-time buyers in their twenties to seasoned investors building serious collections. Whether you are furnishing your first apartment in JBR or curating a portfolio for a new villa in Palm Jumeirah, buying original art in Dubai has never been more accessible — or more rewarding.
Radka Gicheva is an independent artist based in Dubai, which means you buy directly from the creator. There are no gallery markups, no middlemen, no inflated prices. What you pay reflects the true value of the work: the materials, the time, the skill, and the creative vision. This direct relationship also means you can ask questions, request custom sizes, and even visit the studio to see where your painting was born.
Every painting in Radka's collection is created using professional-grade materials on archival-quality substrates. Acrylic paints from brands like Golden and Liquitex. Canvas from Belle Arti and Fredrix. Varnishes that protect against UV light and humidity — essential in Dubai's climate. These are works built to last, not decorative objects that fade in a year.
The buying process is simple. Browse the gallery, read about each piece, and when you find something that speaks to you, add it to your cart or enquire via WhatsApp. Payment is secure through Stripe. Dubai customers can opt for hand delivery; international orders are shipped via professional art couriers with full insurance. And if you change your mind within 30 days, returns are accepted — because Radka believes art should feel right, not forced.

Why Buy Original Art Directly from the Artist?
When you buy from a gallery, 40–60% of the price goes to the gallery owner. When you buy directly from Radka, 100% supports her practice — enabling her to buy better materials, experiment with new techniques, and continue creating the work you love. You also get something no gallery can offer: a direct relationship with the person who made your painting.
Many of Radka's collectors have become repeat buyers and friends. They send photos of how the work looks in their homes. They commission pieces for new properties. They recommend her to interior designers and friends. This community is part of what makes buying original art special — it is not a transaction, it is a connection.

Radka's original paintings range from approximately $300 for smaller works (30 × 40 cm) to $2,500+ for large statement pieces (150 × 100 cm).

Can I see the artwork in person before buying?
Yes. Dubai-based collectors are welcome to arrange a studio visit by appointment. This is often the best way to experience the texture, scale, and true colours of a painting. For international collectors, Radka provides high-resolution images, detail shots of texture, and video walkthroughs on request.
What is your return policy?
Radka offers a 30-day return policy. If the artwork does not feel right in your space, you can return it for a full refund (excluding shipping costs). The work must be returned in its original condition and packaging. Commissioned pieces are bespoke and non-returnable, but the midway progress review ensures you are happy with the direction before completion.
