When shipping art internationally, two primary options are commonly considered: crated and rolled. Crating involves securely packaging the artwork in a custom-built crate, providing maximum protection against physical damage but often resulting in higher shipping costs due to size and weight.
On the other hand, rolling art involves taking stretched paintings off the frame, carefully wrapping the artwork and placing it in a protective tube. This method is more cost-effective and suitable for flexible pieces.
Choosing between crating and rolling depends on the specific artwork's size, fragility, and budget, as well as the destination's shipping requirements and regulations.
We will be in touch regarding the best options for you.

“The Endless Road by Sara Gaqa is inspired by life’s never-ending questions.
Life will never offer all the answers, and it is this constant search for understanding that defines the human experience. As some questions find answers, new ones inevitably emerge.
This endless curiosity is the very essence of being human and what sets us apart from other living beings.
Yet, not all answers are meant to be found—sometimes, the journey itself reveals the truth, and the path to finding the answer becomes the answer itself.
Sara Gaqa
Sara Gaqa
Sara Gaqa was born in Germany in 1980 and is of German and Iranian heritage. Growing up between these cultures shaped her perspective on identity and global belonging. Drawn to art from an early age, she began painting on canvas at 14, a practice that remains central to her life.
In 2000, she pursued the natural sciences, earning a master’s degree in biology in 2006. Gaqa sees art and science as interconnected, both rooted in observation, curiosity, and the desire to understand the world.
While travelling in South Africa in 2006, she met her husband and relocated to Cape Town two years later, where they now live with their daughter in Hout Bay. Leaving her scientific career behind, she embraced full-time art and exhibits both locally and internationally.
Her first experience of Africa left a lasting impression, inspiring her work through the continent’s spiritual energy, rich cultures, and connection to nature and community.
Gaqa’s paintings explore themes of connection, longing, and the search for meaning, sometimes outward toward the unknown or divine, sometimes inward through introspection. Eyes often appear in her work, inviting personal reflection.
Her layered paintings combine oil, acrylic, and gold leaf, incorporating textures, materials, and fragments of poetry, literature, or philosophy to add emotional and conceptual depth.
Gaqa has exhibited widely, including ART Innsbruck, and across South Africa, Europe, and the US. She is part of The Travelling Art Gallery, with exhibitions in Hamburg, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Ludwigshafen, Munich, Kassel, Palma de Mallorca, London, and New York.
In South Africa, she is exclusively represented by The Artists Gallery.
