About Artworks and Artists on Artasiam
Artists interested in selling their works on Artasiam must go through our online selection process by submitting their application form. We study each application with great care, in order to guarantee quality content to buyers. We will get back to the artist within one week. If the artist has been selected, we will send him/her/them the "profile creation" and legal documents to fill out and we will ask for the images (artworks for sale, profile photo, artist studio photo) in order to create the artist's profile. However, we retain the right to moderate the content if we deem it inappropriate and if its authenticity is called into question.
To learn more about our selection criteria, see our Artists FAQ.
All works displayed as "original" on Artasiam are and are not published on other media or beyond the number of editions defined by the artist (for photography, for example). However, artists have the option of offering reproductions of their works on Artasiam, in order to be more affordable.
An edition corresponds to the number of copies of a reproducible artwork, such as a photograph, for example. The number of copies must be defined in advance by the artist, e.g., before the first sale, and must not vary over time. The less the number of copies, the higher the price of the artwork.
Yes, all artworks sold on the Artasiam platform are accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. All editions (photographs, prints, lithographs, etc.) are carefully numbered and signed by the artist, in addition to the certificate of authenticity. A model certificate of authenticity is provided to the artists.
Some artists accept commissions, so please feel free to contact us. We will contact the artist to see what we can do.

Shipments, Deliveries and Returns
Each artwork is protected and packed with care by the artist, following a standardized packaging process.
Unfortunately, we cannot answer this question specifically at this time due to the COVID-19 situation. From what we have seen, delivery delay rages from 2 to 7 working days within the same city, from 7 to 15 working days within the same country. Additional delays may happen depending on the artist's availability or if the artwork requires framing. We will keep you informed of delivery times as soon as the artwork is shipped.
For the moment we are working with Canada Post for deliveries in Canada and with UPS for worldwide deliveries.
Shipping costs are calculated at the time of payment for the artwork and depend on the size and weight of the artwork, as well as where is coming from and the delivery destination.
At Artasiam, we make sure that the artwork displayed on our platform matches the actual artwork. All purchases are final, except in the following cases:
- the delivery was not completed;
- the artwork is substantially different (minor discrepancies are normal) from the description or pictures shown on the Platform;
- the artwork was damaged on arrival;
You have 5 days to submit a dispute at info@artasiam.com.
Please note that Artasiam does not offer a “satisfaction guaranteed” or similar return policy. You cannot obtain a refund because you changed your mind about a purchase.
