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 displays its dimensions, artist biography, year, and “Price on request – starts at $XXX” (e.g. starts at $240).
This gives you the base acquisition price upfront. In your personalized quote, we confirm the exact final cost including destination-specific crating, export documentation, and combined international shipping.
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, natural daylight video footage, exact pricing, and a personalized, combined shipping quote.
Once you decide to proceed, we issue an itemized digital invoice. Upon payment, the artwork is marked “Sold” and reserved exclusively for you.
We issue an itemized digital invoice with clear step-by-step payment instructions. Most collectors complete payment within 48 hours.

Paintings are professionally packed (moisture-sealed heavy-duty tubes or museum-grade wooden crates). Every international parcel is 100% insured via DHL Express / FedEx, and we handle all export permits and Department of Archaeology non-antiquity clearance.
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.
Every piece is hand-signed by the master artist, accompanied by formal provenance documentation detailing the artist, medium, and year — verifying that the work was acquired directly from the artist's studio in Kathmandu.
Unsure where to start? Our curators offer complimentary advisory services to help you build a cohesive collection that fits your space and budget.
