We celebrate this moment with the talisman of the work, vision, friendship and complicity of the artists who have inspired and guided us through this journey. It is to them that we exist.

We are grateful to the curators, writers, institutions, collectors, friends and colleagues for sharing their knowledge and having their support since the very begining.

We are fortunate to have the dream team in the gallery.
