Based on your experience, can you give an explanation as to why people begin to collect art?

I have seen different types of collectors one of them start collecting because it's a good investment and usually they hire art advisors to acquire art for them. Another ones collect art to express their own personality, they love showing their art and telling stories when, where and why they have acquired it. And recently I've met people who collects art to support it, because they believe in the importance of art. For them to support art is like a contribution to the better future of society.

How would you describe the program and vision of your gallery?

I am passionate about art and its raison d’être. The term ‘fine art’ implies the purely aesthetic, but what art actually does is reflect what it means to be human. In essence, human psychology has not changed, unfortunately, but what does continually change is the world around us. As a gallery, we are interested in showing artists who are profound and reflective, who make art that tells us something about the human condition by the way we relate.

How has your artistic career progressed and changed over time?

When I was putting my most recent art book together, I realized that although the work changed over time, the common theme is color. The imagery has evolved and the technique has become more refined. I have studied color for fifty years and I know that colors produce a vibration, therefore we tap into that vibration.

What do you want your artwork to stand for?

By channeling my artistic focus into geometric Goniochromatic Abstractionism, I bring forth vibrant artworks that revolve around the graceful allure of geometry. These creations serve as a canvas where vivid iridescent colors and enchanting patterns intertwine harmoniously, acting as conduits for the expression of emotions through the varying frequencies of the color spectrum.

Spirituality and metaphysics themes are prevalent in many of your works. Can you explain where this interest comes from?

I was inspired by Alessandro Botticelli and Leonardo Da Vinci, as their works transmit a sense of poetic, mysterious and metaphysical meanings beyond the physical forms. The more I study those works, the more details I discover, and the more I am dragged in. I realized that figurative paintings could transcend figurative forms to explore so much more possibilities, not just imitating what we see. A good painting tells its audiences not only to look and enjoy, but also to feel and discover.

What is the origin of the art fair? How did it start?

Born in Barcelona, I have always been fascinated by Antoni Gaudi's architecture, especially the Casa Batlló and La Sagrada Familia. In 2010, I had the vision of holding the first-ever art fair in a UNESCO Heritage Site: the architectural jewel of Antoni Gaudi, the Casa Batlló. The idea was to showcase contemporary art placed in a masterpiece; to join contemporary art with a creative atmosphere. The experience of viewing and enjoying the best international talents within a masterpiece by Antoni Gaudi makes the experience extraordinary, memorable, unique and engaging.

How would you describe the program and vision of your gallery?

The celebration of original and culturally relevant artistry. All galleries are essentially agents for artists, we like to think we acknowledge this rather than sneer at it: we promote our artists by using the most up-to-date technology and digital marketing methods. Our 'vision’ is to connect more people with contemporary art and recalibrate a relationship that has been showing cracks since the turn of the century; we would like to open galleries abroad and show that you don’t have to be a ‘mega gallery’ to have multiple sites and reach multiple audiences.

What is your opinion on the art fair boom that has taken hold in recent years?

That is one of the disasters of our times, the boom is only creating 9 to 5 jobs for a group of people, LOL. I Don’t even think it’s a good business model for fair owners… it’s almost to a point becoming a laughing matter. I am being very clear about this; as long as there is a zero-countability in a part of an industry, the ramifications become disastrous. At this stage this is the approach of the majority of art fairs.
