Building Legacy.

1. Define Your “Why”
Ask yourself: Why do I want to collect art?
Is it to reflect your personality in your space? To support emerging artists? To invest? Or simply because art inspires you?
Your “why” will shape what, where, and how you collect.

2. Choose a Theme or Subject That Moves You
Start with a subject that sparks emotion or curiosity—nature, identity, abstract forms, feminine power, urban life, cultural roots, etc.
This creates focus and coherence in your collection from the beginning.

3. Set a Realistic Starting Budget
Start small. You can find beautiful, original pieces from €300–€1,500.
Consider:

  • Works on paper

  • Limited edition prints

  • Small-scale paintings or sculptures

  • Art by emerging local artists

4. Explore Your Local Art Scene
In Mallorca, you're surrounded by world-class galleries and incredible artists. Visit spaces like Galería Pelaires, Kewenig, Fermay, and artist studios.
Join openings, fairs, and curated tours . The more you see, the more your taste develops.

5. Follow Artists on Social Media
Instagram is the new art gallery. Discover artists, see their process, and build direct connections. This also gives you insight into their authenticity and creative voice.

6. Speak to an Art Consultant
Especially when starting out, having expert guidance helps avoid costly mistakes. A consultant helps with:

  • Authenticity and value

  • Strategic purchases

  • Connecting with galleries and artists

  • Curating with intention

7. Buy What You Love
Let emotion guide your decision as much as logic. The best collections are built not just with money, but with heart and vision.
