Finally in the hands of private collectors in Europe, USA, Latin America and the Middle East.
We are convinced that Javier Montesol's work is the result of the effort and continuous work of a lifetime as an artist. We offer him the opportunity to invest and participate in its revaluation, because it represents the tradition of the best Spanish painting and the modernity of a country that is now committed to being present in international collections and markets and in a new way of looking at art through social networks.

Because good art is a safe value...​
