For artists

Set up your artist's showcase

Your showcase is a museum-style page for you and your work. Oxi reviews every studio first, so only the artists Oxi invites appear. The showcase presents your work but does not sell it: approved galleries, dealers and brokers sell it, and you earn from the OxiCert certificate fees on every sale. It is free to set up.

  1. 1. Sign in

    Go to oxiseller.com and scroll to "Sign in or open your shop". Enter your email address or phone number. You get a 6-digit code, so there is no password. Type in the code.

  2. 2. Open your shop

    The "Open your shop" form appears. Fill in:

    • Shop name: your name or your studio name, e.g. "EminoArt"
    • Shop page address: a short web name, e.g. "eminoart". Your page will be oxishops.com/eminoart.
    • Currency and State
    • Under "What do you sell?", tick "Art: galleries, artists and collectors"

    Then tap Open my shop.

  3. 3. Go to your Art desk

    At the bottom of the app, tap More, then tap the line that starts with "Art:". If you see a button that says "Switch on Art", tap it first.

  4. 4. Say you are an artist's studio

    Tap the tab "About the gallery, dealer or studio". Fill in:

    • This shop is: choose "Artist's studio"
    • Portfolio or credentials link: your Instagram, website or a PDF of your work. Oxi uses this to review you.
    • Title shown on Oxishops: your name as an artist
    • City, Since (year) and a short Introduction
    • Under "For an artist's studio": your artist statement, profile, education, signature series and commission terms
    • Contacts on your page: WhatsApp, email, Instagram and so on

    Tap Save.

  5. 5. Add your portrait and signature

    On the same tab, lower down:

    • Portrait: choose a photo and tap Upload
    • Signature for certificates: sign on white paper with a black pen, take a clear photo, crop it close and tap Upload. It goes on every certificate for your work.
  6. 6. Add your works

    Tap the Works tab, then Add a work. For each work:

    • Choose yourself under Artist, or type your name the first time
    • Fill in the title, date, medium, size, movement and the story of the work
    • Offered stays at "On view only". That is normal for a studio.
    • Set Status to "Shown"

    Save it, then add up to 8 pictures: the whole work, details, the signature, the back, and the work on a wall.

  7. 7. Add projects and exhibitions (optional)

    Use the Projects and murals tab for exhibitions, murals, awards and press, each with up to 4 photos.

  8. 8. Set your certificate prices

    Tap the OxiCert certificates tab and go to "Your prices". When a gallery or dealer sells your work, the buyer pays these fees to you.

  9. 9. Wait for approval

    Your page stays hidden until Oxi approves it, but you can keep working on it. On the About tab you see "Waiting for Oxi to approve". You are told when it is approved.

After you are approved: whenever a gallery or dealer lists one of your works, it appears under OxiCert certificates → "Listings to certify". Tap "Certify: it is genuine" if it is your work, or "I do not recognise it" if it is not.

Build your showcase on OxiArt (simpler) Or on OxiSeller, with certificates

Galleries, dealers and brokers: open your shop the same way and choose your kind of house in step 4. Oxi approves every seller of art before it can sell.
