Artist and cultural manager Adriana Torres Torchez, renowned for her international career and for representing Mexico at the Venice Biennale – Personal Structures – continues to consolidate her visual language, grounded in connection and hope.

Her most recent series, such as “Hugs with Open Arms,” evokes the healing power of the embrace through expansive, luminous strokes that invite human encounter, starting with the “autism we all have.” Her work has been successfully exhibited in various cities around the world and contemporary art spaces, reaffirming her vision that art can unite, heal, and transform.

Adriana is currently preparing a new exhibition at TOP 67, an innovative creative economy space located at 6701 NE 3rd Ave, Miami, where she will present an installation inspired by the expansion of the soul and the energy of color. 

With each exhibition, Torchez reaffirms her commitment to art by positively provoking viewers through her long strokes that evoke emotion and foster inclusion.

Coconut Grove, FL

Pinta Miami will once again be one of the major highlights of Miami’s cultural calendar, taking place from December 4 to 7, 2025, when artists, collectors, and art enthusiasts will gather at Dinner Key, one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods located in Coconut Grove, to celebrate this renowned satellite fair that spotlights multidisciplinary and contemporary Latin American art.

Under the artistic direction of Irene Gelfman, Pinta’s celebrated Global Curator, the 19th edition will feature Isabella Lenzi (Artistic Director and Chief Curator at the Alberto Cruz Foundation, São Paulo) as curator of RADAR, the section dedicated to solo and duo projects. Meanwhile, Juan Canela, Chief Curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Panama, will oversee NEXT, the section focused on emerging and experimental artists.

A broad diversity of artistic proposals will be presented this year, with nearly 40 participating galleries from Central, North and South America and Europe, showcasing more than 500 carefully selected works of art.

“Pinta Miami is the only fair during Miami Art Week that celebrates the diversity and vitality of Latin American art. In this 19th edition, I aim to create an intimate, dynamic, and participatory space that gives visibility to contemporary Latin American art scenes in dialogue with the world. Pinta Miami stands as the definitive event for Latin American art on the local agenda, a true meeting point for the international art community.”
— Irene Gelfman, Global Curator, Pinta


Outside the fair, the Sculpture Garden, curated by Irene Gelfman, will feature works by Priscila Schott, Alberto Cavalieri (VAG Victoria Art Gallery), and Rafael Barrios (Proyecto H, Mexico), exploring sculpture through geometry and abstraction.

Additionally, Argentine artist Nicola Costantino presents a Special Project in the form of a flower-art kiosk: handcrafted ceramic pieces that draw on ancestral knowledge and reimagine it in the present. The installation is presented by Pommery —The Art of Champagne—, a longstanding ally of contemporary creation and a committed supporter of Latin American artists.

Another highlight will be FORO, the Talks Program coordinated by Irene Gelfman, Pinta’s Global Curator, which—under the theme “Decoding the Art Market”—will bring together artists, curators, researchers, collectors, and cultural institutions for contemporary discussions on the development and creation of art projects from Latin America. The program will feature prominent speakers and renowned experts in Latin American contemporary art, including Spanish specialist María Sancho-Arroyo and Argentinian Juan Cruz Andrada, who will address topics such as art management challenges, the art market, the current regional art scene, AI, and more.

Through numerous institutional acquisitions, awards, and recognitions, Pinta Miami seeks to support artistic practice and foster collecting through both new and established prizes. The fair will present the EFG Latin American Art Award, in collaboraiion with Art Nexus. The winning work will be acquired for the EFG Capital collection and exhibited in Miami. Another important recognition will be the NEXT Prize, awarded to two galleries in that section by a specialized jury.

MoCAA Leadership Visits the Museu de Arte de Goiânia to Architect a 2026 Exhibition and a Durable Inter-Institutional Framework

By Rodriguez Collection Team

In Goiânia, senior leadership from the Museum of Contemporary Art of the Americas (MoCAA, Miami–Kendall) met with their counterparts at the Museu de Arte de Goiânia (MAG) to advance a joint exhibition slated for 2026 and to outline a broader framework for research, collection exchange, and public programs. The conversations were anchored in a shared premise: that the Americas constitute not a periphery of multiple centers but a single, interdependent field in which artistic languages circulate with reciprocal consequence.

Beyond the immediate horizon of an exhibition, the parties discussed a phased collaboration: co-curated projects drawing on each institution’s holdings; residency exchanges for curators, educators, and conservators; and a bilingual publication program attentive to archival gaps and to the methodological specificities of the region. Crucially, the partnership imagines pedagogy not as an ancillary service but as curatorial method—embedding mediation, community listening, and teacher resources into the very architecture of the shows.

For Miami, MoCAA’s involvement consolidates a mandate it has pursued since its evolution from the Kendall Art Center: to operate as a hemispheric interlocutor for Caribbean and Latin American contemporary art, serving local diasporas while convening regional discourse. For Goiânia, the alliance strengthens a cultural corridor between Brazil’s Center-West and South Florida—two scenes often read separately but linked by shared questions of territory, memory, and migration.

The historical ballast on the Brazilian side is clear. Established by municipal law in 1969 and inaugurated in 1970, MAG emerged as the first public museum dedicated to the visual arts in Goiás and has, since its relocation to the Bosque dos Buritis in 1981, developed a program that balances stewardship of a regional collection with a consistent rhythm of temporary exhibitions. That dual commitment—to custodianship and experiment—makes MAG an apt counterpart for collaboration at continental scale.

MOCAA en Brasil

Both institutions emphasized the civic and educational dividends of the exchange. Circulating works and knowledges between Goiânia and Miami activates a grammar of cultural citizenship: visual literacy for school groups and families; perspective-taking and translation in multilingual publics; and research opportunities that treat community history as a living archive. Workshops, teachers’ guides, and open studios will be designed as coextensive with the exhibitions, not as afterthoughts, so that making, reading, and debate remain in continuous feedback.

From a curatorial standpoint, the forthcoming project will resist a touristic logic of “imported” spectacle. Instead, it proposes an ecology of situated displays—works installed with sensitivity to local histories, climatic materialities, and audience habits—paired with discursive formats (seminars, reading rooms, field notes) that make process legible. The wager is that form and method can travel without flattening difference, and that institutional collaboration can model the ethics it seeks to narrate.

If successful, the 2026 exhibition will serve both as milestone and prototype: a visible moment in a longer choreography of co-production, shared conservation priorities, and joint authorship of interpretive materials. In this sense, the visit to Goiânia is less a preface than a first chapter. It affirms that, for museums on this continent, working “transnationally” is no longer an exception but the condition of relevance—an ongoing practice of co-creation, circulation, and care.

Marketing Your Art Online in 2026: Essential Strategies for Artists

The global art market continues to thrive, with online sales now representing a significant portion of overall transactions. For artists in 2026, establishing a compelling digital presence isn’t optional—it’s essential for reaching collectors, building your reputation, and sustaining your creative practice.

Yet despite the opportunities, many artists still feel overwhelmed by the prospect of promoting their work online. The landscape shifts constantly, and advice that worked five years ago may no longer apply. This guide cuts through the noise to offer practical, artist-centered strategies for marketing your art in today’s digital environment.

Why Your Online Presence Matters More Than Ever

The average person now spends substantial hours online each day, and art buyers are no exception. Collectors increasingly discover artists through social platforms, search engines, and digital marketplaces. More importantly, transparency and authenticity have become paramount—research indicates that a majority of collectors believe the art market could better serve them through clearer pricing and more accessible information.

Here’s what a strong online presence offers you:

Global reach without geographical limits. Your work can be discovered by collectors on the other side of the world while you sleep. The digital space removes traditional barriers to entry that once made the art world feel impenetrable.

Direct relationships with buyers. Rather than relying solely on intermediaries, you can cultivate your own community of supporters who connect with your vision and follow your creative journey.

Multiple revenue streams. Beyond selling originals, the digital world opens doors to prints, merchandise, licensing, commissions, and even educational offerings—all from a single body of work.

Storytelling on your terms. You control your narrative. Collectors today want to understand the artist behind the work, and online platforms give you space to share that story authentically.

Three Foundational Strategies for 2026

1. Research Your Audience and Market

Before diving into tactics, invest time understanding who resonates with your work. This means going beyond demographics to understand collector motivations, where they spend time online, and what price points align with their collecting habits.

Study artists in your space who have built sustainable practices. What platforms do they use? How do they communicate about their work? What seems to generate engagement versus what falls flat?

Stay connected with artistic communities—both online and in person. Trends shift quickly, and being part of ongoing conversations helps you adapt while staying true to your vision.

2. Build a Professional Digital Foundation

Your website serves as the central hub of your online presence. It’s where collectors go to verify your credibility before making a purchase, and it operates around the clock as your digital representative.

Ensure your site meets these standards:

  • Responsive design that works seamlessly on mobile devices
  • Intuitive navigation that doesn’t frustrate visitors
  • High-quality images that accurately represent your work
  • Clear information about purchasing, commissions, and contact
  • A compelling artist statement and biography
  • Regular updates that signal an active practice

Website platforms designed for creatives—like Squarespace—offer built-in features that artists appreciate, from integrated e-commerce to straightforward search optimization tools.

3. Use Social Media Strategically

With billions of users across platforms, your ideal collectors are certainly online. The question is: where do they prefer to engage with art content?

Rather than spreading yourself thin across every platform, focus your energy where your audience actually spends time. Some collectors gravitate toward Instagram’s visual format, while others prefer discovering artists through Pinterest or engaging with long-form content on platforms like Substack.

The content you already create in your studio—works in progress, finished pieces, behind-the-scenes glimpses—holds genuine value for your audience. Sharing your process authentically builds connection and differentiates you from competitors, particularly as AI-generated imagery becomes more prevalent online.

The Essential Do’s and Don’ts of Art Marketing in 2026

Marketing advice aimed at general businesses often misses the mark for artists. Here’s guidance tailored specifically to creative practice:

Don’t force your work into a narrow niche for marketing convenience. Do recognize that your unique perspective, experiences, and approach to making art already constitute your niche. Authenticity resonates more powerfully than manufactured positioning.

Don’t undervalue the sharing of your creative journey as mere self-promotion. Do understand that storytelling creates genuine connection. Collectors who follow your process develop deeper appreciation for your work, which enhances its value.

Don’t adopt every marketing tactic you encounter without discernment. Do evaluate strategies against your own goals, temperament, and available time. Test approaches thoughtfully, and build systems that work sustainably for your practice.

Don’t assume you must be everywhere doing everything. Do focus your energy on high-impact activities. Deep engagement on one platform typically outperforms scattered presence across many.

Don’t make assumptions about your audience based on generalizations. Do build genuine relationships and gather direct feedback from collectors and followers. Their insights will prove more valuable than generic market research.

Platforms and Tools Worth Considering

The right tools can streamline your marketing efforts considerably. Here’s a practical overview:

For your website: Squarespace remains popular among artists for its design flexibility and built-in features. Shopify works well for those focused primarily on commerce.

For selling online: Established marketplaces include Etsy, Saatchi Art, and Artfinder for original works. Print-on-demand services allow you to offer prints and merchandise without managing inventory.

For visibility: Basic search engine optimization helps collectors find you. Analytics tools reveal what’s working and what needs adjustment.

For community building: Email lists give you direct access to your audience without algorithmic interference. Consider platforms that allow for longer-form connection with dedicated followers.

Navigating Common Challenges

Artists face particular obstacles when marketing their work. Here’s how to address them:

Imposter syndrome: Nearly every artist experiences this. Treat setbacks as information rather than verdicts, and remember that showing your work takes courage worth celebrating.

Pricing uncertainty: Research comparable artists, account for all your costs including time, and seek guidance from those further along in their careers. Your pricing can evolve as your reputation grows.

Time management: Creating art and marketing it compete for the same limited hours. Build sustainable routines rather than unsustainable bursts of effort. Batch similar tasks together, and automate what you can.

Fear of self-promotion: Reframe marketing as invitation rather than intrusion. You’re offering people the opportunity to engage with work that might genuinely enhance their lives.

The AI Question

Artificial intelligence continues reshaping creative industries, sparking legitimate concerns among artists about attribution, competition, and the changing perception of originality. Rather than viewing AI as purely threatening, consider how the technology might serve your practice—handling administrative tasks, supporting research, or expanding your reach—while recognizing that your human perspective, emotional depth, and physical presence in your work remain irreplaceable.

As AI-generated imagery proliferates online, handmade original artwork may become even more valued by collectors seeking authentic connection to creative vision.

Moving Forward

Marketing your art online in 2026 isn’t about following formulas or gaming algorithms. It’s about building genuine relationships with people who connect with your work, and creating systems that support your practice sustainably over time.

Start where you are. Choose one or two strategies that align with your goals and temperament. Execute them consistently before adding more. Track what works, adjust what doesn’t, and maintain the creative practice that fuels everything else.

Your work deserves to be seen. The tools and platforms exist to make that possible at a scale previous generations of artists couldn’t have imagined. The question isn’t whether to engage with digital marketing—it’s how to do so in ways that feel authentic to who you are as an artist.

Artista argentino cuya obra fusiona abstracción, gesto y exploración matérico-simbólica. Albi-Marini trabaja con capas de pintura, transparencias y ritmos visuales que evocan paisajes interiores y expansiones emocionales.

Guillermo Kuitca (Argentina, 1961)

Uno de los artistas más influyentes de Latinoamérica. Kuitca utiliza mapas, planos arquitectónicos, teatros y diagramas para explorar memoria, desplazamiento y teatralidad.

Artista belga cuya obra abarca pintura, dibujo e instalación. Ancart se inspira en paisajes, estructuras urbanas y formas elementales, creando imágenes minimalistas atravesadas por color intenso y una sensibilidad meditativa.

Henri Matisse (Francia, 1869–1954)

Figura central del arte moderno y creador del fauvismo. Matisse exploró el color como fuerza expresiva autónoma, desarrollando un lenguaje luminoso, ornamental y profundamente vital. Desde sus pinturas vibrantes hasta sus célebres “cut-outs”, su obra celebra la alegría, la forma pura y la armonía visual.

Jesús Rafael Soto (Venezuela/Francia, 1923–2005)

Uno de los pioneros del arte cinético y óptico. Soto investigó vibraciones visuales, percepción y movimiento real mediante estructuras suspendidas, líneas tensas y juegos de profundidad. Su obra transforma al espectador en participante activo, revelando la inestabilidad del espacio y la naturaleza vibrante del color.

John Henry (Estados Unidos, 1943–2022)

Escultor estadounidense reconocido por sus monumentales estructuras de acero. Henry construyó composiciones geométricas que desafían la gravedad, dialogan con el espacio urbano y transmiten tensión, equilibrio y energía arquitectónica.

Manuel Mendive (Cuba, 1944)

Figura fundamental del arte afrocaribeño. Mendive fusiona espiritualidad yoruba, naturaleza, ritualidad y vida cotidiana en pinturas, performances y esculturas de gran vitalidad. Su obra conecta cuerpo, cosmos y ancestralidad, generando una poética visual profundamente ligada a raíces culturales y energías místicas.

Marcos Amaro (Brasil, 1984)

Artista interdisciplinario que explora la transformación, el ensamblaje y el diálogo entre arte, industria y memoria material. Amaro trabaja con fragmentos de máquinas, aviones, estructuras metálicas y restos industriales para construir esculturas que reflexionan sobre desgaste, reconstrucción y nuevas formas de habitar el mundo material.

Mario Carreño (Cuba/Chile, 1913–1999)

Figura esencial de la modernidad latinoamericana, Carreño combinó geometría, simbolismo caribeño y una profunda preocupación por la forma humana.

LINA CERRONE GALLERY DEBUTS WINTER EXHIBITIONS BY INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS AND LOCAL TALENT 

Lina Cerrone Gallery, an international contemporary art gallery in the heart of Miami’s Wynwood Arts District, is celebrating its second anniversary this winter with multiple exhibitions, including Mystic Roots by Colombian artist Juliana Plexxo, whose work went to the moon; Quantum Painting by French artist Véronique Barrillot, the pioneer of quantum painting; Oh What Beautiful Flowers by local emerging talent Patrick Penkwitt; and Resonance by contemporary graffiti artist Cedric BouteillerThe exhibition calendar includes: 

  • Quantum Painting by Véronique Barrillot 
    Exhibition Dates:
    through January 5, 2026; exclusive quantum event on December 2 from 6-9 p.m.

French artist Véronique Barrillot, a self-taught pioneer of quantum painting, invites visitors to enter a world where art meets physics in her upcoming exhibition at Lina Cerrone Gallery during Miami Art Week. Through her signature “double-vision” technique — in which two superimposed states coexist in a single canvas, echoing quantum superposition and entanglement — Barrillot challenges the viewer’s perception: each movement, each change of distance, reveals a new dimension of the work. Her art is not a mere illusion but a dynamic experience in which the motion and engagement of the viewer become part of the piece itself. At this exclusive quantum event, guests will become active participants in a realm where visual art and scientific concept fuse, and where each glance, step or shift in perspective opens new layers of meaning and reality.

  • Mystic Roots by Juliana Plexxo
    Exhibition Dates:
    November 30 – December 31, 2025; artist event on November 30 from 6-8 p.m. 
Mystic Roots by Juliana Plexxo
Mystic Roots by Juliana Plexxo

Colombian artist Juliana Plexxo brings a deeply symbolic and emotionally charged practice to her upcoming exhibition at Lina Cerrone Gallery. Her work explores the essential duality of existence, the spiritual dimension of human life, and the profound reconnection between humanity and nature. 

Plexxo’s abstract work was included in the acclaimed exhibition Interplay: Contemporary Geometric Abstraction that was selected to be part of the Lunar Codex, an archive of contemporary art, books, music, poetry and film launched via NASA’s Artemis partners to the Moon. The exhibition was included in the Codex Polaris, which launched to the Lunar southern hemisphere in September 2025 aboard the SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket. Interplay: Contemporary Geometric Abstraction is one of the few exhibitions in the world to have its works digitally archived and sent to the Moon as part of the Lunar Codex, a project initiated by Dr. Samuel Peralta. 

Plexxo’s visual language is anchored in metal engraving — a technique she transformed during her residency at Studio 46 in Barcelona, the historic workshop once used by Miró, Richard Hamilton, and Dalí. Her artistic process is intentionally radical: each plate is printed only once before being destroyed, rendering every piece a singular artifact embodying death, transformation, and rebirth. Raised in a taurine environment, Plexxo draws inspiration from her early confrontation with mortality, recalling her first encounter with bulls at age three. The bull remains her totemic muse, while the recurring eyes and profiles throughout her work trace back to intimate memories of her Colombian childhood. Guided by the mythic force of the bull, her work invites viewers beyond observation, urging them to feel, remember, and step into the eternal dance between life and death.

  • Oh What Beautiful Flowers by Patrick Penkwitt
    Exhibition Dates: Permanent exhibition. Artist event on December 4 from 6-8 p.m.  
Oh What Beautiful Flowers by Patrick Penkwitt
Oh What Beautiful Flowers by Patrick Penkwitt

Growing up in Stuttgart, Germany, in a family of photographers, it was only natural for Miami-based artist Patrick Penkwitt to become a photographer at 16 years old. His grandfather was a war photographer, and his parents met in photography school; hence, creativity was embedded in his DNA. His creative journey began by working for skateboarding and BMX freestyle magazines in Germany and California. After years of shooting extreme sports, such as mountain biking, snowboarding and skiing, he shifted to working with some of the world’s top fashion and advertising brands. 

Over time, Penkwitt’s artistic vision has expanded into painting, transforming his early influences into a lifelong project. Intuitively blending whimsy with seriousness, his vibrant paintings feature intricate, imaginative worlds that evoke a sense of play while offering layers of depth. His prints feature famous figures such as Lionel Messi and LeBron James. Penkwitt’s masterful use of color is both dynamic and unexpected, creating visual experiences that surprise and captivate the viewer. Now, as he explores his expanding practice, Penkwitt brings the same eye for detail and narrative composition that distinguished his photographic work into a new medium. His paintings showcase a unique interplay of surreal elements and vivid storytelling, capturing a spectrum of emotion and delight that resonates with viewers. Just like a pendulum, Penkwitt lets the pencil swing and move on its own to draw, making each painting one of a kind.  

  • Resonance by Cedric Bouteiller
    Exhibition Dates: through January 5, 2026; live art event on December 6 from 6-9 p.m.
Resonance by Cedric Bouteiller
Resonance by Cedric Bouteiller

Born in 1970 in Rognac, France, Cedric Bouteiller is a multidisciplinary artist whose work reflects a dynamic fusion of photography, contemporary painting, graffiti, digital art and collage. After studying plastic arts and philosophy at the University of Aix-en-Provence, his travels through major cities like New York, London, Paris, Tokyo and Shanghai shaped his visionary urban aesthetic. A pivotal moment came in 2009 during an exhibition at Galerie DX in Bordeaux, where he immersed himself in street art, developing his signature technique of combining printed images, stencils, graffiti and collaged elements on brushed aluminium, sealed with translucent resin. Influenced by Anthony Tàpies, Pierre Alechinsky, Picasso, and the literary spirit of Cocteau, Bouteiller also explores a mystic form of alchemy through material transformation and experimentation. You can experience his innovative work in person at the gallery on December 6 from 6-9 p.m. during a special live painting event celebrating his artistry.

Lina Cerrone Gallery is located at 2239 NW Second Ave., Miami, FL 33137. For more information, explore linacerronegallery.com or follow on Instagram @linacerronegallery.
