IF you, like me, are pathetic at art but still appreciate a good painting and may even want to buy an artwork someday, ARTO could be your solution.

The Singapore-based startup, founded by Dutchman Jonie Oostveen, has created an eponymous app. Using its proprietary, artificial intelligence-powered "Art Recommendation Engine", ARTO helps art enthusiasts of all levels of expertise find artworks they like based on their preferences.

Mr Oostveen describes the app this way: "Take art as your main ingredient. Add a good dose of Instagram, blend it with Tinder and add a dash of Spotify, this is what you get, ARTO!"
