Who we are

Welcome to the website of artContraire.

We achieve this by offering exclusive artworks from selected artists without any spatial or temporal limitations and thus, we bring art into the centre of a new society. Our online platform is a meeting point for art lovers and artists, ensuring an intimate art experience which we hope will lead to exceptional encounters.
