Original Dominican art, straight from its artists.
AltruArt is a Dominican gallery devoted to original work: painting and mixed media by artists from the Dominican Republic, curated piece by piece. Every work in the catalog is unique, with its own record of technique, year and dimensions, and behind every sale there is a purpose: a portion of the gallery’s income is donated to Fundación AYUDA to support social causes in the country.
Buying Dominican art, without extra middlemen
Buying art in the Dominican Republic usually means touring studios, fairs and galleries without really knowing what is available or at what price. AltruArt puts the full catalog online: you can filter by color, format and size, see each work in detail (even preview it on a wall at real scale) and ask questions over WhatsApp before deciding. Delivery is coordinated anywhere in the country.
We work directly with the artists and their families. That lets us document each piece with rigor (technique, year, series, dimensions) and guarantee that what reaches your wall is an original work, not a reproduction.
The master of the house: Rafael de Lemos
AltruArt’s main collection brings together the work of Rafael de Lemos, a Dominican master of mixed media whose career has been reviewed by the country’s critics and press. His universe (birds, dreams and Caribbean color on unconventional supports) is one of the most singular voices in contemporary Dominican art. On his profile you will find his biography, the press articles about his work and all the available pieces.

A purchase that also does good
AltruArt’s model is simple and transparent: a portion of the gallery’s sales is donated to Fundación AYUDA (Ayuda.do), which decides how to apply it to causes of health, food and social assistance in the Dominican Republic. Our donations to partners are never in cash: they are delivered as materials or direct contributions, and we publish them in the impact section.
