I like art. I like good prints. I would love to fall in love with a real big {probably expensive} painting. Oil maybe. Something I can imagine to love forever.
So far I have not found that painting but make myself happy with affordable prints. A home without art is like a home without plants and books. Impossible.
And when Karina & Viviana introduced me to their world called Toi Art Gallery I was in love straight away. A paradise with carefully selected artists. A paradise so nicely different to what you see everywhere. If I could, I would hang it all!
The two girls, originally from Argentina but based in California, wanted to focus on South American artists initially but expanded ‘world wide’. Great art needs to have its place!

‘The artwork you share with your kids is what they will remember of childhood, perhaps what they will take to start their own home when they grow up. Art is something that takes time to create and creates time for us, a feeling of comfort, memories of a time we loved.’
There is nothing kitsch on here, nothing of the monochrome madness and no ABC or 1 2 3 prints. There is just some real cool art going on. Prints that inspire. That are good for making up stories and sending the characters on adventures.
I am happy that there are people, like Karina & Viviana, who step out of the trends and bring us something different. Something gorgeous! Very much looking forward to follow their journey and to discover more artists.
PS: Have a look at their gift section too, the dolls are adorable!
PSS: The two prints in our house are PLAY and TWO.
