My promise

I have surrounded myself with a highly qualified team of experts who will go out of their way to ensure my collectors and partners are 100% satisfied. Although I am not involved in the day-to-day running of the gallery and sales, the buck stops with me. It is my commitment to ensure that this promise prevails and is always honoured.

"art.ryno promises to produce high quality art to all interested parties, incuding materials, methods and frames (where applicable). I will guarantee safe packaging and only use the most reliable couriers and transportation suppliers. I only deal with ethically- and morally sound partners and organisations, and will dissociate myself without fail where it may come to light that this is not the case. Collectors become part of the art.ryno family, and I will therefore look after you as such. I love maintaining a close relationship with my collectors and to keep track of where my art is showcased in the world. My team and I do however maintain the strictest level of confidentiality where required and will never divulge sales or owner details without prior agreement and/or consent."

This is my promise,

Modern Slavery Act 2015

Ryno's statement issued in 2025

My suppliers and material resources:

The creation of art pieces requires materials and resources and are an important part of my success and quality standards. I expect each business partner, supplier, collaborator, and sponsor, to conduct their business with the same commitment to ethical business practices as me and my team at art.ryno. This includes the following:

Not use slave labour, illegal child labour or forced labour
Ensure that the overall terms of employment are voluntary
Follow all local employment laws regarding minimum age requirements, wages, overtime benefits and the number of hours worked in a seven-day week
From time to time certify that they conform to the expectations above
Be able to demonstrate compliance with our policies at the request and satisfaction of art.ryno.

art.ryno will maintain internal accountability standards and procedures to uphold my standards and policy regarding slavery and human trafficking. art.ryno will promptly and thoroughly investigate any claim or indication that a business partner, supplier, collaborator, or sponsor is engaging in human trafficking or slave labour. If anyone is found in violation of this policy, I will take prompt, remedial action to address the violation, including reporting it to the necessary legislative authorities.
