Spoliarium began as a quiet act of compassion—a way to help a gifted artist who had no means of sharing his magnificent work with the world.

At the time, I had found a sense of contentment in my own life and wasn’t looking for something new. But I remembered how art once helped me heal—how it lifted me when I felt at my lowest. That memory sparked a movement.

What started as a personal mission grew into something much bigger: a space where artists are empowered, lives are enriched, and joy is elevated through the power of fine art.

We’re here to remind you that healing, growth, and happiness can begin with something as simple—and as powerful—as art.

If our story speaks to you, we invite you to be part of it. Support the mission. Share the message. Spread the joy. Let’s create a world where everyone feels seen, supported, and inspired—together.

P.S. What if owning or experiencing art—at an accessible cost—could enrich your life in time, value, and joy?
It’s time to experience art that elevates your headspace, personal space, and workspace.
Save time. Grow your assets. Live happier—you’ve got this.

With love and kindness,
Herica Honcolada

Experience and Own Fine Art—Globally, Without Barriers.

Bringing interactive fine art to workspaces for calm, positive & productive energy.

Our Purpose Spoliarium was born from a simple truth: fine art shouldn’t be confined to exclusive galleries or hidden in private collections. It belongs in the everyday spaces where humanity gathers, works, and creates.

We pioneer Art-as-a-Service (AaaS)—a zero-CAPEX platform that transforms empty corporate wall space into interactive fine art marketplaces. Through white-glove curation and interactive QR/NFC wall-tag technology, employees, executive leaders, and visitors can discover artwork, connect with artist provenance, and collect original pieces directly on-site.

Founder’s Journey: From Manila to a Global Ecosystem. Heríca Honcolada began her career in customer service in Manila before spending years mastering global corporate tax, financial audit, and enterprise compliance—work that instilled deep systems discipline and financial rigor. Grounded by her mother’s sharp business brilliance and her father’s calm leadership, her worldview was shaped by years of global travel, immersing herself in iconic cultural institutions like the Louvre and Prado.

That lifelong love for global art and culture quietly laid the foundation for her life’s work. In 2019, she agreed to help an artist friend curate an exhibit. That single favour revealed the immense healing and uplifting energy of fine art—and exposed the structural gap facing living artists who lacked direct access to everyday patrons.

Moving to Canada with no initial art-world network, Heríca built Spoliarium alongside a trusted core team. What started as an organic passion project grew into an international art-technology infrastructure—scaling through patience, community trust, and major enterprise partnerships across workplace networks like IWG and WeWork. Beyond Spoliarium, Heríca also founded J’adore Business Innovations, focusing on advancing human capital and work-life happiness.

How We Measure Success For us, scaling a platform is about sustainable human impact:

  • For Workspaces: Restoring calm, positive, and productive energy to workplace environments—feedback we hear daily from executive leaders and art collectors alike.

  • For Living Artists: Providing 1,200+ living artists with physical distribution, global exposure, and direct sales.

  • For Humanity: Integrating social impact into our core operational loop—funding thousands of meals, school supplies, and partner programmes for child-abuse survivors and health initiatives.

Spoliarium is living proof that world-class operational rigor and profound human heart belong on the same foundation.

WHY ARE WE HERE

– We believe that humans can be happier and more productive when we work together towards bigger goals.
– We believe that fine art is more than just another NFT or scam.
– We believe that you and I can empower artists, ourselves and the world through art.

– We believe that art can benefit you personally, professionally and financially, and our platform is fast, easy to use, secure and globally inclusive.

– We believe that we can all balance our personal, professional, family and social lives by working 5-6 hours a day.

***We’re here to help you achieve that with the power of art. (Research by Oxford University’s Saïd Business School showed that happy workers are 13% more productive!)

We didn’t think of starting a company at first.

Our journey began with a need—a need to give a hand to a talented artist who needs help in selling his magnificent art pieces.

We started Spoliarium in 2019 as a small project—a way to support a talented family friend who was struggling to sell his amazing art pieces. We soon realized that he was not alone in his challenges, and that many artists needed help to showcase their work and reach more customers. We organized our first exhibit, which was a success, and we sold paintings both locally and internationally.

Spoliarium is more than just a business for us. It is a passion project that connects us with the beauty and power of art. Art is a form of self-expression that reveals the artist’s personality, perspective and emotions. Art also enriches our lives by making us happier and more productive. Studies have shown that art stimulates our brains and enhances our well-being.

We believe that everyone should experience the benefits of fine art, and that artists deserve to be rewarded for their creativity and skill. 

Our vision is to help painters achieve greater profits and enhance the happiness and overall wellness of people, especially the global workforce and executive leaders, through fine art.

Whether you are interested in buying, selling, co-owning or supporting fine art, we invite you to join us on our mission and discover the wonders of Spoliarium.
