This is a fantastic and unique gallery that is pleasantly tucked away from the commercialized Mercato strip. The gallery had a range of pieces from some renowned artists. What took me back a bit was the unexpected personal touch created by the owners. The experience was not overwhelming and was comfortable. I enjoy art but I feel in some galleries you feel pressure creating a palpable yet silent tension. What was intended to be a 5 minute detour turned into an hour stay, some good stories about Russia, and some laughs. I highly recommend stopping into this gallery.
A taste of the the world by bringing some of the best emerging artists was made possible by East West Fine Art. This gallery is one of the largest fine art galleries in Naples and it is a great place to connect with art and the beauty that it represents. The gallery exhibitions take you on a tour, showcasing original, contemporary paintings alongside the artists’ inspirational stories, collected during the visits to the gallery. Leeza and Olga are amazing hosts who have served our community by bringing diversity and opening the doors of multiculturalism through art. Thank you for always make my visits so pleasant and inspirational!
- Expertise: The entire staff very knowledgeable, perceptive, and astute. They wanted to share information, insights, and ideas, seeking to learn my taste, not try sell me something I didnt want.- Quality: All the pieces were, indeed, fine art; there was nothing common, formula, mass-production stuff posing as art.- Variety: Lot’s to embrace, from paintings to fine sculpture. I especially liked the delicate flower sculptures from Irina of Finland.
Ive been coming to East West Fine Arts various art and cultural events for years. Their unusual exhibitions of Russian art, celebrations of various of holidays and other events not only capture the eye but capture the imagination as well. They even have had dancing! The art is beautiful and I have met some of the most wonderful and interesting people there. Whenever I go to East West the art and the experiences are always fantastic and stay with me for long, long after!
I wandered into East West Fine Art and loved it so much that I brought back my husband. We bought two pieces of art from them and love both of them. Leeza and Joann are both so knowledgeable and helpful and simply fun to talk to. We will definitely be returning.
I am always amazed when I visit here. The artwork is breathtaking and unique. You are encouraged to explore at your own pace by the staff who are very polite and knowledgeable if you have any questions. The high caliber international artwork seems to attract people from all over the world to this gallery. Certainly it is one of the unique local treasures of Naples!
We love art and have some favorite artists. (Mostly Russian) We stop in periodically to say hello to Joann, Olga and Leeza. We love catching up on the new looks and artists. These ladies are so knowledgeable and wonderful to work with. We worked mostly with Joann and had such a great experience. We bought an absolutely beautiful giclee. We couldnt be happier. 5+ stars. Stop in if youre looking for beautiful art.
Joann and the team are great to deal with, and extremely helpful & knowledgable! The artwork collections in the gallery is also excellent!
Amazing art and advice! Took time to get to know us and understand what we were looking for. Provided lots of options. We ended up with several of their pieces. Were getting very positive comments from our friends and guests! Thank you East West!
I first met this wonderful quartet of people a few years ago and immediately felt as a lost family member welcomed home after an endless voyage. In describing the grandeur of the gallery masterpieces, Olga, Leeza, JoAnn, & Roger have each voiced in moments what it has taken me an entire lifetime to understand- that art (much as classical music) enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time while exploring the deepest virtues of our imagination. Great art is enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime isnt enough for great art. While art may take the viewer to places reality cant, the East West Fine Art Gallery allows us to pause and be present in the moment, and I am so very thankful to have these four people at the helm as the journey continues. My love, best wishes, and continued success to you all.
Perfectly curated Gallery. I highly recommend this Gallery to Art lovers of any level, perfect place if you want to start collecting Art and also for seasoned Art Collectors. The Gallery owners care about will assist you in any of your cultural needs.
Tons of fun! Place has a nice clean quiet feel to it. Very knowledgeable about many pieces. Variety too. Leeza was a wonderful host. Will definitely be back.
I wanted to get a gift for my goddaughters who helped me tremendously when my wife passed away. They dropped everything in their busy lives and supported me.I went to East West Fine Art and found some beautiful hand made porcelain flowers - very delicate and very rare. Leeza, the gallery manager, helped me in my choice and, given her relationship with the artist, helped create aprinted brochure for each of the two flowers. The brochure included a picture of the artist, lrina Lilja, and a description of how she created the delicate and beautiful art.They were very personalized gifts because of this brochure, which the gallery designed and completed very quickly.An excellent experience and wonderful gifts.
Had a fabulous experience with the knowledgable staff and owners. Bought a great piece that I love. Will come back again. And again and again.
Professional, expert, knowledgeable with global information at their fingertips.My opinion, East West Fine Art Gallery, Naples finest.Dennis Sanders
Fabulous art gallery! Olga, Leeza and Joann are wonderful, helpful and knowledgeable! Highly recommend!
Amazing Experience, Wonderful group of hard working people who are passionate about Art! Highly Recommend stopping by in the Mercato!
Locally owned for over 20 years! Highly recommend.
Gorgeous gallery. They clearly know what theyre doing in how theyve decorated the space and curated the exhibition inside.
If youre visiting the Naples/Ft. Myers area, you must stop and spend some time viewing the art paintings by Russian, American and European contemporary artists.
East-West Gallery its place where you feel completed! The atmosphere is friendly. Art is great! They giving you guidance whats really going on in the world of contemporary art!
A super group to work with!
Such a beautiful at gallary. Really enjoyed the visit.
They are so welcoming and inclusive here! I love fine art, but Ive been written off in other galleries for being young and alternative. Here, I was greeted immediately and the ladies were so friendly and conversational. There is no prentention here, just a genuine love and appreciation for art. They also curate a collection of one of my favorite artists, Sanislav Plutenko, and it was incredible to see a few of my favorites in person. If you love fine art and being in a friendly, artistic environment, you must visit this beautiful gallery!
Gallery on Fifth offers exceptional service! Olga and Leeza are not only very knowledgeable about fine art; they are also kind people. They brought pieces to my house several times. They were always honest. If something was not working out, they were never pushy. Olga was very attentive to what I wanted, and understood my style preferences very well. I am very happy with my purchase, thank you!
This is a fantastic art gallery with world class paintings. With a wide variety of styles this gallery displays some of the very best art available in the United States. During the coming season in Naples FL, this gallery is planning on several shows featuring astounding artists whose works are typically not available, such as renowned Russian-German artist Alexander Solotzew with his HEAT WAVE exhibition.In the meantime, while providing a great series of shows and exhibitions, the gallery is organizing a wonderful European tour by ship of some of the worlds greatest museums: White Nights – A Baltic Sea and Russia Art and Culture Cruise. I cant wait!
Incredible pieces especially some well educated Russian artist. Informative staff.
Gallery on Fifth and the Russian American Museum have amazing artwork that is unique and unlike anything other galleries carry. They have a great selection of Russian and Ukrainian art by a variety of talented artists. You can even go to the gallery and see these trained artists in action, painting their beautiful works. Not to be overshadowed by the beautiful paintings, Olga and Leeza Arkhangelskaya are incredibly knowledgeable. professional and genuinely nice people. Go see for yourself!
Gallery on Fifth is my favorite gallery in Naples. Olga and Leeza bring paintings from Russia and Eastern Europe that you will not find in other local galleries. The artists are top-notch professionals, working in various styles, from classical to modern. If I could, I would buy them all!
Gallery on Fifth is a much needed cultural oasis where elective affinities of men and women gather to appreciate and familiarize with the great schools of Art (with emphasis on the vibrant school of Russian Art). In addition, every week new events occur, and the owners offer timely information about it, both online and offline, so that one can catch a dance performance, listen to piano music, and learn about masterly paintings from the gallery owners; spend quality time and imbibe the intellectual ambient of the place!For their part, Olga and Leeza, the pleasant owners/curators have a talent to explain the individuality of the gripping works of art on sale in their gallery, both in the context of art history and in the framework of trends in modern art.Every time I enter this gallery I feel like a famous Russian writer (Dostoevsky) when he wrote:I feel I know you so well that I couldnt have known you better if wed been friends for twenty years. [White Nights]I hope that you will too !
Gallery on Fifth is a jewel in the middle of Mercato in Naples. The paintings are not expensive for the quality. The owners are welcoming, and they are very knowledgeable and passionate about the art they display and sell.
Having supper at the Mercato and walked into this place. Glitzy, show, and really Perfect. The staff believes they are better then clients.
I dropped into the Gallery on Fifth on a whim, looking for art for my Florida home. My search had taken me to virtually all of the galleries in Naples with not much luck. I was immediately drawn to one piece of art..a very peaceful scene of the fall countryside by Dmitri Levine. Leeza, one of the owners, told me a little more about the artist, his awards and collections he was in. She offered to bring the art to my home to see if it felt right in my home! I was so impressed with Leeza and Olga that I asked for their help in selecting a few additional pieces for my home. Not an easy request, as I need to connect emotionally to art to love it!! The Gallery is so much more than a retail store for art...the owners have that rare talent to connect you with wonderful art, collectible art that is a perfect fit for your home and you!
Very beautiful art works!Will be stopping back! Leeza and OlgaDo wonderful work.
Excellent art, top quality people. Cant wait to go back :)
Upon visiting Gallery on Fifth (their Mercato location), I learned that they specialize in artists from the Russian school. Owners Olga and Leeza are really passionate about the gallery’s cultural mission and you should not be intimidated to step foot inside this magnificent gem of Naples. This is a high-end art gallery carrying work from only the finest artists from around the world. Congratulations on opening the new gallery this summer!
Nice art collection.
Knowledgeable host of a beautiful gallery
