Our team is totally dedicated to hiring, running and curating projects and art installations.
Our mission is to deliver innovative ideas and expert advice for architects, interior designers, art collectors and image – conscious businesses worldwide. Through our know-how, we understand the inner workings of the market, looking for the best opportunities, according to resources and objectives in the medium and long term of each collector, and each art project on a bespoke basis.

Over the last twenty years we have established a significant internacional network of relationships for our clients with curators, gallery owners, museum directors as well as contemporary artists.

Sofia Costa Freire
Executive Director
Her future was set on an Economics degree, but she soon realized that her business was the Art Business… Sofia studied at Sotheby’s Institute, wrote a thesis on artist Paula Rego and worked at Sotheby’s London office, followed by Palacio do Correio Velho in Lisbon.
She advises various clients, collectors, interior designers and Architecture firms.
Furthermore, she has edited two books on artworks represented in private collections, “KWY/Nouveaux Réalistes” and “Pintura Alemã Contemporânea em colecções Portuguesas”, as well as a monograph of Nikias Skapinakis.

Catarina Boto Machado
General Coordinator
When she decided to continue her secondary studies at a professional design school her family was fairly supportive, not because they wanted her to, but because she didn’t give anyone a chance to think otherwise… Catarina is like that. The natural process followed, a degree in design from IADE. She dipped her toes in graphic design working at Journal Público, this made her realize that she needed a more creative challenge.
With her keen interest on aesthetics, when challenged by our project she gladly accepted and has spoiled us with her energy and good mood. Catarina Machado is our general-coordinator.
The object of art
