About

I am a Dubai-based curator and art advisor, and the founder of Cultured Art Consulting. Over more than ten years I have worked with Christie's, Art Dubai and the State Tretyakov Gallery, and today I advise private and corporate collectors across the Middle East on acquisitions, collection strategy and collection management.

My curatorial work spans Contemporary and Digital Art, from an exhibition of Viktor Nikolaev's work from a private collection in Moscow to digital art exhibitions in Dubai in 2021 and 2022.
