About st-Art
Who we are
st-Art is a platform created by and for art-lovers. Here at st-Art we are committed to keeping the flame of the art world burning. Long gone are the days of art galleries just based on their own profit and gatekeeping the art community. We fully believe in the concept of art accessible to all and this starts by directly supporting artists with no barriers and prejudices of any kind.
What we offer
We are in the business of supporting artists and advising buyers in their choice. Our career-building services include mentorship, workshops, and work experiences. In addition to this, every artist on our platform has his work promoted for free through our social medias, press articles and various international events. Our dedicated content team makes sure that each artist is properly publicized whether its through social media, press or interviews. We also rent or lease art to commercial spaces (offices, hotels, banks, etc.). Our pool of art curators is always on hand to offer any support or advice needed.
How it works
Whether you are an artist or a buyer, the first thing you need to do is register. Artists can then upload their artworks to our virtual gallery and buyers can browse and purchase quality art. Want to stay in the loop on all things art? The best way to stay updated is through our newsletter.
Our vision
At st-Art we believe in the power of creative development. st-Art supports artists reach their potential in 3 steps:
- Step 1: Our team of curators will analyze and assess the artist’s work in-depth.
- Step 2: If necessary, we will propose the artist to develop their skills through an internship with our curators.
- Step 3: st-Art will put our new artist on display! Our artists are the foundation of everything we do, that’s why we believe in giving back by promoting their work across all of our platforms.
Our team
Break into the industry or perfect and refine your skills. That’s just the start of what our amazing mentors can help with.
Whether you are a beginner or a professional, it won’t cost you a penny. We get a kick out of helping aspiring artists.

Noushin Zokaie
Area Curator and MentorBorn in Iran, Teheran in 1978, Nooshin Zokaie studied Economy in Teheran, but her enthusiasm for painting motivated her to shift her focus from economy to complete courses in painting. While experiencing different methods of painting, in August 2014, she moved to Milan, Italy and started studying painting in Accademia delle Belle Arti di Brera in Milan, where she finally fulfilled my artistic career. In her studies in Milan, she has been strongly supported by her masters to explore her artistic talent, and today, she is working as a mentor for artists. She is currently living in Rome, Italy.

Marita De Geus
Store Manager and Sales“Your purpose is rooted in your inspiration” There’s no better way of connecting than starting conversations on art. Art inspires and moves people, it brings up memories. Some art you want to connect with, some you hate. And I think that’s the thing I love the most about being the store manager at st-Art. Everyone approaches art completely different, and sees an entire different thing looking at the same piece. It’s the perfect way to connect, reconnect and reflect.
Nicolas Prins
Area Curator and Workshop Host(b. 1987, Moscow). MA in Painting from LUCA Brussels. “Art for me is about being able to convey the drama of someone who has been abandoned and how they can survive in this world. Being a person of colour and mixed heritage, queer and immigrant I have no difficulty finding subjects for my paintings. In them, I see myself as a film director composing dreamy narratives from unrelated source materials creating an uncanny and often dramatic scene. There is an almost baroque suspense to many of my paintings. A theatrical scene where something is going to happen or has just happened. The unique atmosphere of my compositions is built on source imagery, including archive photos, film stills or cartoons, the mood of which I translate on to the canvas.”
Lorena Pritchard
Workshop HostWith a background in sculpture, drawing, and painting, Lorena finds the playful medium of clay deeply rewarding. She has a passion for sharing its beauty and grounding qualities, emphasizing mindfulness and connection to the earth in the making process. Inspired by her Sicilian heritage and passion for botanical elements, her pieces and bespoke carvings are created to be the pieces we yearn for. Through colourful cups, bowls, and plates adorned with intricate natural motifs, she infuses her work with a dreamy, ethereal, and nostalgic quality.
Anastasia Gangaev
Area Curator and Workshop HostAnastasia is a curious soul merged with creativity and flow. With a brain that is not only scientific but artistic as well, she has found art as a form of self-therapy to soothe and fully immerse into the present moment of creation. She believes that creativity is innate and we are all artists; and so she guides people to see this either passively through her art or, actively through workshops where abstract expression is played with, making even those who claim they are not creative, discover just that: their own creative expression.
