The Collector's Guide
"Collecting fine art is a journey of emotion, taste, and legacy. Here is how to navigate the acquisition process with confidence."
Begin by exploring our digital collection. Every painting shows its size, artist, year and “Price on request – starts at $XXX” (e.g. starts at $240).
This means you immediately know the lowest possible price. Because each piece is unique, we confirm the exact final price in your personal quote.
When a piece speaks to you — whether an expressive abstract or a serene landscape — read its story. Art is personal; trust your instinct.
Read our guide on how to choose art.As you find pieces that resonate, click “Add to Inquiry Selection”. You can curate multiple artworks into your personal gallery cart.
When you are ready, review your selection in the side drawer and submit a single, comprehensive inquiry in under 20 seconds.
Our curation team will review your complete selection and reply within 24 hours (often the same day) with high-resolution details, exact pricing, and a personalized, combined shipping quote.
Once you decide to proceed, we issue a simple, secure invoice. Upon payment, the artwork is marked “Sold” and reserved for you.
We send clear instructions + screenshots with every quote. Most buyers complete payment within 48 hours.

Paintings are carefully packed (rolled in protective tubes or fully crated). We handle all export paperwork and provide the non-antiquity certificate.
If you prefer your artwork to arrive pre-framed, our curators can arrange custom museum-grade framing for an additional fee.
Every artwork from SHAKYA Gallery is an original creation. We work directly with Nepal’s most established fine artists to ensure absolute provenance.
Included with every acquisition is a signed Certificate of Authenticity, detailing the artist, medium, year, and value — essential for insurance and legacy.
