Marbella is often painted in broad strokes; a frivolous destination, a playground of luxury and excess, a place to party. But to me, it has always been much more than that. It is a town of extraordinary beauty, where nationalities and cultures seamlessly coexist. It is also a place where rules bend, where freedom is embraced, and where remarkable individuals choose to make their homes. People who surround themselves with beauty, value uniqueness, and understand the power of art.
When I opened my gallery here, I saw Marbella as a place full of possibility. A place where I could take risks—presenting emerging voices alongside mid-career and established artists, and where boldness would not be met with indifference, but with curiosity and enthusiasm. Over the years, that has proven true. Marbella encourages you to think differently, to take chances, and to share what feels authentic.
Through risk, resilience, and love for art—together with seven years of dedicated work. I hope to have established the gallery as a space where art can be both discovered and deeply appreciated. As I begin my eighth season, I feel proud of how far this journey has come, and grateful for the incredible individuals I have met along the way—collectors, artists, and friends who have shaped this adventure and made it so meaningful.
Marbella is not only the backdrop to this story, it is its beating heart. With its beauty, diversity, and spirit of freedom, this city has allowed the gallery to grow into what it is today. And it continues to inspire me: to keep taking risks, to keep discovering, and to keep sharing the transformative power of art.
