Bridging the gap between local talent and global collectors
Sensul is redefining how African art is experienced and appreciated globally. Based in Ethiopia, Sensul is an online art gallery connecting emerging and established African artists with a worldwide audience. By offering fresh insights into contemporary art, Sensul presents the rich diversity and evolving narratives within Ethiopia and Africa’s art scene. It’s a platform that bridges the gap between local talent and global collectors, offering something fresh, meaningful, and contemporary.
Founded by lifelong friends Abby and Dawit, Sensul stems from their shared love for art and their complementary experiences. Abby brings her understanding of art from her background as a filmmaker, while Dawit combines business expertise with deep insights into the African art community. Together, they are creating a space where authentic stories and stunning art intersect. “We’re not just showcasing art; we’re trying to change how it’s discovered and valued,” says Abby. “Our goal is to celebrate African art’s diversity and elevate it on the global stage” Dawit adds.
Sensul’s standout feature is ArtMatch, a personalized art-sourcing service designed to make art accessible to everyone. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or exploring art for the first time, ArtMatch curates pieces tailored to your preferences—be it style, budget, or medium. It’s a service that transforms the process of acquiring art into an enriching and seamless experience.
Sensul’s collection comprises various media, including printmaking, paintings and collages, focusing on originality and storytelling. Beyond promoting art, the platform fosters cultural exchange, showcasing the evolution of African art from its roots to its modern-day expressions. With its bold vision, Sensul is democratizing access to African art and making a lasting cultural impact.
