About The SpringInWinter Gallery
At SpringInWinter Gallery, we believe in the transformative power of art beyond boundaries. Founded by a distinguished social scientist, Dr. Paul-lobi PB, who did her PhD in the field of socioeconomics, has more than a decade of field research experience, is a social entrepreneur, and an ardent art enthusiast, designed this gallery as a sustainable model to make it stand out as a demonstration of the transformative power of art. This gallery is designed not only to bring forward talented artists from around the globe but eventually also to benefit those who want support to turn this venture into a livelihood. The founder of this gallery coins this as "Art for Living". Through her extensive scientific research, understands the challenges faced by artists in today's competitive art market and how, despite being immensely talented artists, lack the skills of understanding and creating value for their own talents. With a deep appreciation for the arts and a commitment to social impact, this gallery has created a space where artists can thrive both creatively and financially. This gallery is a collaboration between the owner and the artists and together they transform this unique model of "Art for Living" into a dynamic, co-creative space where the very fabric of the gallery is woven from the collective visions of its contributors.
Our Vision: Spring in Winter
The name "Spring in Winter" evokes a powerful and evocative image that carries deep symbolic meaning, especially in the context of an art gallery. This juxtaposition of seasons suggests themes of renewal, hope, transformation, and the unexpected emergence of beauty. Spring is traditionally associated with renewal, new beginnings, and the blossoming of life. Winter, conversely, is often seen as a time of dormancy and stillness. By naming a gallery "Spring in Winter," the owner implies that this gallery is a place where creativity and vitality can flourish even in times of hardship or stagnation. The name embodies a sense of hope and optimism. "Spring in Winter" also symbolizes transformation and the potential for change. It indicates that this gallery is a space where artists and their works can undergo significant socio-economic-cultural development. The idea of encountering spring during winter hints at the discovery of unexpected beauty. It is a place where boundaries are pushed, and new ideas are cultivated. The name also suggests that the gallery offers unique and surprising artistic experiences that challenge conventional expectations. This can attract art lovers and enthusiasts who are looking for innovative and thought-provoking art. The name symbolizes the gallery's commitment to nurturing emerging artists and bringing new voices to the forefront. It suggests a supportive environment where artists are encouraged to thrive regardless of their individual socio-economic challenges.
At SpringInWinter Gallery, we envision a world where art is an essential part of everyday life and where artists are valued and supported. By providing a direct platform for artists to earn their livelihood, we aim to create a sustainable and inclusive art community. Our gallery is a place where creativity flourishes, artists are empowered, and art is accessible to all, beyond boundaries.
What Our Gallery Offers
Our artists sell their original paintings exclusively through our gallery. We also offer limited edition prints for some artwork. When it comes to selling limited prints, offering the highest quality giclée prints is our standard. Giclée printing, a term derived from the French word "gicler" meaning "to spray", involves using archival pigment inks and professional-grade inkjet printers to produce stunningly detailed and vibrant reproductions on museum-grade canvases (stretched) and fine art papers (giclée prints on Hahnemühle German Etching, Ilford Cotton Textured or Hahnemühle Pearl paper). Each print captures the essence of the original artwork, preserving the artist's vision with exceptional color accuracy and depth. The use of high-quality, acid-free papers ensures longevity, making these prints a worthy investment for art enthusiasts. Each print comes with a certificate of authenticity and serial number of the limited edition prints.
By providing both original pieces and premium giclée prints, we cater to a broader audience, from those seeking the unique allure of one-of-a-kind art to those desiring affordable yet exquisite reproductions for their personal collections.
Our Future Mission: Art for Living
Our mission is to ensure that artists can sustain themselves through their artwork. We believe that art should not remain as a hidden talent but become a viable means of earning ones livelihood.
This platform allows artists to have full control over their own art through transparent sales practices.

We provide artists with extensive exposure through regular exhibitions, art fairs, and collaborative events. We leverage both physical and online platforms to showcase the artwork of our artists, helping them reach potential buyers and art enthusiasts, like yourself.
We are committed to the growth and development of our artists. Our gallery offers workshops, mentorship programs, and training sessions to help artists hone their skills, understand market trends, and navigate the business side of the art world.
We believe in the power of art to build and strengthen communities. Our gallery brings together prosperous as well as struggling artists, fostering a deeper appreciation for art and creating a vibrant platform without distinctions. We provide an equal opportunity for all, and therefore, our artists ONLY use their artwork to stand out. This gallery supports those who want to be known through their art alone!
