The curators of Gallery Kvartira S are professionals whose experience includes selecting works of art, composing exhibitions, organising shows and art events, interior design, and working with collectors.

They carefully select artists’ works, seek out new names, and take part in organising exhibitions. And they also enjoy talking with gallery visitors! If you have questions about any work presented on the site, or would like advice on which piece would be most advantageous to add to your collection, or which painting would suit your interior — write to our curators.
