Welcome to the Mimenta Art Website

This site has been on line since July 2006. In 2009 it was viewed by 4.24 million people and is listed as a course reference by 15 Universities internationally. Your interest has kept us going all those years with this labour of love. Thankyou for your continued interest.

Thankyou also to those people who have allowed us to publish images of treasures from their private collection without any restrictions, so students around the world can re-use these images for educational purposes.

Interested in Art? . . . You have come to the right place.

Art History
For art history students, we have a comprehensive explanation of the different periods of art, along with examples of works from the Artists themselves, in the "Visual Arts" Section, under the "Art History - From Pre-History to Cubism" section. This is designed in interactive format and is full of surprises so click of the images, you might be pleasantly surprised.

Visual Art
Aspiring artists can see the various aspects of the art trade from painting restorations, conservation framing, oil painting, photography and works on paper. There is even a history of paper and printing.

On Line Gallery
Contributing artists may find some motivation in the Gallery section. The works on display are available for sale by negotiation and the contributing artists can be contacted by our "Contact Us" link for commissions and information. However the main reason for this section is to debut artists and demonstrate one way that artists can display their works to the public.

Digital Art
We are not just about paintings and sculptures. We also represent the digital side of art too but specifically web design. Digital art is well represented on the Internet however we seem to have forgotten those crazy artists who slave away in the wee hours to bring us websites that are well above the average.
