Exquisite Art is biazing a trail with an exciting range of collectible, affordable paintings that will elevate any interior scheme

Irish poet Oscar Wilde once famously declared that "art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known". Unique works not only make a bold statement wherever they are displayed, but they also represent a powerful, resilient investment: art's resell value typically stays high as the industry has the unique ability to regulate its own supply and demand.

Launched in January 2017 by Livette Dikalenko, a former logistics executive-turned-entrepreneur, online gallery Exquisite Art is on a mission to thrill art lovers with its roster of 76 international artists and diverse selection. Its collection comprises works that utilise various art styles, mediums and materials. Exquisite Art also represents a wide assortment of Central Asian artists with work that melds traditional and modern touches, influences resulting in strong imagery that sticks in your mind long after you've seen it. We sit down with Dikalenko to discuss the art of her craft.
