Thanks David for your purchase. Nice talking to you from England.
Very happy with Chitutuli painting!
I was so happy to find Chitutuli’s lively ‘African Traffic Jam’ painting on the Tinga Tinga website. The bidding process was smooth, the purchase via PayPal was easy, and communication about the shipping was great. Received the painting today, and I love it. Gorgeous colours and details — it’s even better than I hoped for!

We’re also glad that the bidding, purchase, and shipping process was seamless—it’s our goal to make collecting art as enjoyable as the art itself!

Trustworthy, Reliable, Quality, Professional
I ordered 5 paintings from Tinga Tinga. I "made an offer" on their website, hoping to get a discounted price, and they agreed to it. Almost all of the communication on their end came from Ali, who always replied very quickly and was very professional. Overall, it took 5 weeks between the time I placed my order and when I received the work in the United States. During that time, Ali was in constant communication providing me with updates. The artwork was shipped in the appropriate container in order to keep the paintings intact during transportation. When I received them, I was very impressed with the workmanship.

Gorgfeous artwork!
I had no time to buy a painting while in Africa and found TingaTinga African Art online when I came home. My painting arrived in a tube and it is gorgeous! When I took it to the frame shop they were blown away. The company was very professional and responded quickly to any emails I sent. They represent wonderful artists and their work is superb.
