Elevating the Soul of the Living Space Through Original Fine Art.
Founded in the historic art quarter of Mayfair, London, RAAS GALLERY was born from an unyielding belief that a genuine painting holds an immortal dialogue between the artist’s hand and the collector’s sanctuary.

From Cork Street to Global Salons
In 2018, art historian and patron Elena Raasavina founded RAAS GALLERY on Cork Street in Mayfair, London. The vision was straightforward yet radical: establish a transparent, unpretentious, yet uncompromisingly rigorous haven for original fine art paintings.
Today, RAAS GALLERY maintains private salons in London, Paris, and New York, representing more than 60 distinguished mid-career and master painters across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
Our Mission
To democratize access to world-class original paintings without diluting institutional curatorial rigor. We champion the tactile reality of physical artwork — ensuring artists receive equitable representation and collectors acquire works with indisputable provenance.
Our Vision
We envision a world where every thoughtful home is anchored by original art rather than sterile mass reproduction. We cultivate enduring relationships between artist studios and collectors, preserving cultural heritage for generations.
Why Discerning Collectors Trust RAAS GALLERY
Our four foundational commitments provide total peace of mind from first contemplation to private installation.
100% Originality & Signed COA
No digital reproductions, prints, or machine embellishments. Each canvas is guaranteed original, accompanied by an artist-signed Certificate of Authenticity with tamper-evident archival wax seal.
Curated Studio Direct Access
We work directly with established masters and emerging luminaries. Artworks arrive straight from the artist’s easel to your walls, ensuring pristine condition and fair artist remuneration.
White-Glove Museum Shipping
Artworks travel in custom-built, shock-absorbing wooden crates with climate padding and full transit insurance. White-glove installation is available in major global metropolitan areas.
14-Day In-Home Contemplation
A painting must live in harmony with your private architectural space. If an acquired piece does not achieve perfect resonance within 14 days, our logistics team handles seamless collection.
