Our story
Adore Fine Art
A passion turned into a purpose
Adore Fine Art has been part of Stoneygate for over three decades — but for Oksana Smaditch, taking ownership of the gallery was the beginning of an entirely new chapter.
After raising her family and spending years quietly collecting art herself, Oksana knew the time had come to turn her lifelong passion into something bigger. When the opportunity arose to acquire the established gallery at 1 Allandale Road, she didn't hesitate.
"I've always believed that art has the power to transform a space — and a life," she says. "I wanted to create a place where anyone could walk in off the street, feel genuinely welcomed, and discover something that moves them. Just beautiful work and honest conversation."
Since refurbishing the gallery in 2019 with the support of NatWest, Oksana has grown the artist roster to over 100 names, introduced regular artist evenings, and built a loyal community of collectors across the East Midlands and beyond.
"Every day we ignite the passion."
What we stand for
Independence
We are an independent gallery — no corporate group, no franchise. Every artwork we stock is chosen by Oksana personally, based on genuine passion rather than commercial pressure.
Accessibility
Fine art should not be intimidating. We welcome every visitor with the same warmth, whether you're buying your first piece or adding to a serious collection.
Community
Adore Fine Art is woven into the fabric of Stoneygate. Our artist evenings, our relationships with collectors, our place on Allandale Road — this is a gallery for Leicester.
Quality
We represent only artists whose work we believe in completely. Our curation is careful and considered, with a focus on contemporary work that will endure.
