I found my way into the art world through the back door. No formal education, no existing network, just a genuine desire to tell stories and a belief that the artists I was discovering deserved a platform to showcase with their talent. I bootstrapped my first two exhibitions myself, playing gallerist, taking risks, shaping the narrative I wanted to shape, and giving young artists a shot at the international stage. Thirty-plus projects later, that instinct hasn't changed.

Working independently across commercial galleries, hotel groups and cultural platforms, I've had the privilege of building something without a blueprint. Central to all of it has been a desire to help artists move beyond their usual limits. Be it geographic, ideological or commercial, I strive to create opportunities in regions they might not otherwise reach. By partnering with galleries across the world, I aim to bring international perspectives to local scenes and local talent to international ones. Not as obligation. As belief.
