Welcome to Tesito
If this is your first visit, hello, and welcome. Tesito is an online art gallery based in The Gambia. Artists show their original work here, collectors discover it, and every single piece carries the name of the person who made it.
Think of us as a gallery that never closes. We bring together painters, sculptors and other visual artists from across The Gambia in one place, so anyone in the world can look at their work, learn who they are, and get in touch about a piece they love.
Original paintings, sculptures and more, gathered in one place and open to visit any time.
We work from Kasoto and with artists across the country, from Kanifing to Brikama and beyond.
No anonymous art. Every artwork page shows exactly who made it.
For artists
Talented artists across The Gambia have the skill, but not always the audience. Tesito gives you a professional home to be seen, without losing your name, your control or your connection to the people who admire your work.
For collectors
Whether you're buying your first piece or adding to a collection, Tesito makes it simple to discover authentic Gambian art and connect straight to the source.
Our goal
Behind every piece is a person. Their name stays on their work, everywhere it appears.
Authentic, unique pieces with real cultural depth, straight from the studio.
A painter in Kanifing or a sculptor in Brikama shouldn't need a big-city gallery to be seen.
Four simple steps, from the studio to somebody's wall.
Our team sets up an artist profile and account for you.
Artists upload their pieces, and new work from verified artists appears right away.
Browse, filter and send an inquiry about any piece, with no account needed.
The gallery team puts you in touch with the artist or current owner to finalise details.
No. Anyone can browse the collection and send an inquiry from an artwork page without signing up.
Our gallery team receives it and gets in touch. They connect you with the artist or the current owner and help finalise the details. You can also message the admin directly on WhatsApp.
Get in touch through the contact page. Artist accounts are created by our gallery team, who will set up your profile and show you how to upload your work.
