Discerning Palette

The Discerning Palette is a Bristol-based online art gallery with a large collection of Modernist artworks at affordable prices. It was founded in early 2020 by Saira Kalimuddin and Shanti Davamoni, two childhood friends from Singapore who want to make art more accessible to all. Since 2020 the business has thrived, with customers from all over the world picking art pieces from Saira and Shanti’s carefully curated collection.  

When selecting pieces for the collection, their choices are based not on name but on quality, subject matter and a visual connection. In the art world, so much emphasis is placed on the name behind an artwork, falsely convincing people that unless an artwork is by someone famous, it doesn’t hold much value. The Discerning Palette is here to argue, and prove otherwise.
