Art Profile

Opportunities knock when you are ready &
when you are ready opportunities knock.

I have never cared about the cost of art;
I have only cared about its worth!

My journey from a professional art curator to an art mentor is rather simple yet unique. I was an art curator not by any structure qualification but by vast experience. I evolved into an art mentor not by any compulsive need but by tremendous inner passion!

It all started in my childhood, being born and brought up in the holy city of Santiago de Compostela, north of Spain. I was exposed to the grand cathedral, churches, traditional Christian art and antiques. Old paintings, sculptures, architecture had tremendous impact on my sensitive mind and soul. Later at the age of 21 when I moved to Barcelona I was take in by profound art moment that had gripped the city then. It's only when I shifted to London at the age of 41, that I was overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of the massive art dimension blooming in Europe, London opened my eyes to the world of art!

All along I was also saddened to see some real good artist crumble like cookies under the ever growing market pressure to "commercially succeed" at any cost! It's at that point in time I decided to create a formal structure to help support and nurture talented artist in need.

I believe that if art has to survive the corrosion of Time, it has to have the soul of the artist its only then that art can become truly Timeless!
