MISSION:

Denise Bibro Fine Art was founded on the principle of promoting the work of emerging and established artists regardless of their cultural background, gender, social status, and sexual orientation. The Gallery aims to create platforms for artists often overlooked by the contemporary market and strives to preserve the artistic legacies of established artists that had not received the recognition and exposure of some of their famous colleagues.

Denise Bibro Fine Art believes in the vital role of art in people’s lives and responsive approach to the current themes and circumstances, striving to facilitate the connection between the public and the vibrant artistic community of the contemporary world. The gallery has an emphasis on painting, works on paper, sculpture, and multi-media works as well as presenting collaborative projects with other curators and dealers.
