    The Story Behind Canvas & Bronze

    Here at Canvas & Bronze, we believe every piece in our collection carries with it a narrative of discovery, cultural significance, and emotion. Founded by Vinit and Vidhi Verma, the gallery is the culmination of a 35-year journey across continents, curating artworks that resonate deeply with collectors.
     
    Every piece in our collection has not only been selected for its visual merits but carefully considered. Aside from their undoubted craftsmanship, what marks them all out is the way they speak to the soul. What we want from every artwork is a personal connection with its new owner, and that's something the gallery consistently delivers.
     
    At Canvas & Bronze, we believe that art is an extension of life itself. Whether you are discovering your first piece or adding to a growing collection, we invite you to explore our gallery and view true works of art that hold stories as rich as your own.

    Our Gallery’s Vision

    A resonating curation connection with artists and art lovers is at the heart of our vision at Canvas & Bronze. A painting, sculpture, or textile that is traditional in its home country can take on an entirely new meaning with a skilled curator's eye or when it is placed in a new setting. This emotive and transformational approach is at the heart of our curatorial process.
     
    At Canvas & Bronze, we curate artworks that become distinctive and thought-provoking, when they're recontextualized. We're somewhere our featured artists can make deeply personal connections to collectors through their work. Our gallery is built on the joy of discovery, helping collectors find pieces that resonate not just visually, but emotionally.

    About Canvas & Bronze

    Founded in California, Canvas & Bronze San Francisco began as a physical gallery before evolving into an online space for global art discovery. Our mission remains the same, however, to bring about the joy of connecting collectors with resonant artworks that are both meaningful and personal.
     
    Our collection has been curated over 35 years across dozens of countries. From Dutch ceramics to Peruvian textiles, for example, each piece at Canvas & Bronze brings joy, dynamism, and storytelling into collectors’ lives. Moving online has allowed us to reach a wider audience while maintaining our personal, yet impactful approach to curation. Please know, if you're interested in an artwork and would like to view it in-person, be sure to contact Canvas & Bronze – we're happy to help.
