Sensul is an online art gallery that champions emerging and established artists from Africa and its diaspora; founded by childhood friends and newcomers to the artworld Abby and Dawit. Driven by their mutual appreciation for art, they have designed Sensul as an emerging force in the contemporary art world, based in Ethiopia, Sensul has a clear vision. They plan on being a viable platform for a global audience, presenting vibrant and diverse contemporary artistic African narratives that express historic, current and futuristic interpretations of African culture and society.

Dawit is an experienced art director of Voyaz Kiltirel - Arts Festival Kiltril which has provided unique insights on various approaches to exhibitions and promotion of contemporary art. Coupled with his intuitive approach, he curates in innovative ways, based on the nuances and common threads that make African art so compelling. Abby, on the other hand, brings a wealth of knowledge from her time In California, where she experienced diverse international art spaces, expanding her understanding of global art trends. Together they blend exposure and passion, creating a platform that not only showcases stunning art but also tells the powerful stories behind the art. Dawit states, “By combining our unique perspectives and embracing the latest technologies, we believe we're offering something truly special – exclusive art pieces and content that resonate deeply with our audience.” Abby adds, “We want to enable bridging the gap between African artists and the wider art world.”

Sensul stands on the principle that African art is valuable, aesthetically and fiscally, and therefore deserves recognition and accessibility on a global scale. That said, Sensul’s exclusive collection is curated with one of a kind works of art in myriad media such as paintings, drawings, prints and more for seasoned and new art collectors seeking fresh work out of Africa and the Diaspora. Artists’ profiles, valuable ideas and special deals for buyers, can be found on the Sensul site and social media IG: Sensul.co FB: Sensul where we are cultivating a community of collectors.

Sensul is looking ahead, positioning itself as a major player in the contemporary art world, motivated by the belief that art has the power to transcend boundaries, foster understanding, and promote cultural exchange. The Senul team is excited about promoting emerging and established artists while democratizing access to African art. Sensul's mission: make a lasting impact in the art world and beyond.
