You’ve got to love its power. Art isn’t meant to be kept in a gilded cage. It belongs above the sofayou sit on with your friends every evening. It belongs in your life. Made for you and everyone else who
appreciates it. Art is courage. Courage doesn’t belong in a museum. It belongs in your heart. Like a lover you grow closer to with each passing day. The new art doesn’t want us to hide it away.
Bring art back to life!

THE BEGINNING What began in 2003 as the vision of two inspired collectors is now borne by well-known artists and up-and-coming talents from the greatest art schools. The LUMAS portfolio now comprises around 1,400 different works of art.

ìL imited, signed, originalART SHOULD BE AFFORDABLE.”
LUMAS completes the traditional art market with this credo. The principle: editions of 75 to 150,
rather than of 3 to 5 like in traditional galleries – making art affordable.
