A POINT OF VIEW

We are powerful, efficient and not polite. We believe that artists create mythologies in their studio that redefine the meaning of being human. We believe that art is a transformative process that takes ideas, emotions and translates them into two and three-dimensional objects. It’s a visual language that needs to be learned like any foreign language, but is innate; we all have the capacity to experience.

Our collaborators form a unique community in the international art world ; like-minded gallerists, artists, designers and collectors, as well as institutional actors driven by similar passion for content in this unique platform.
