About the Founder
Born in Romania, Catinca has been a lover and student of art from a young age. She spent many years studying art history and traveled all over the world learning about, and looking at, art.
Catinca began dealing in fine art upon her graduation from the University of California, Berkeley. She spent several years buying Romanian art for businesses and private buyers in the United States, Canada, Australia and Japan. At the time, she specialized in modern oil paintings and glass sculptures.
Catinca then returned to school and studied at Duke University Law School. She obtained a J.D. in American law and an LL.M. in international and comparative law. While earning her degree, Catinca combined her love for art with her legal endeavors and spent time working in East Africa, Italy and China. She became an avid collector, a passion that continued post law school when Catinca spent two years working for a large New York law firm before returning to the fine arts.
Over the years, Catinca has built invaluable professional relationships with artists, dealers and galleries all over the world. She has a keen ability to work fluidly with most styles and mediums of art. She can just as easily negotiate her way through an antique art fair in Milan, as through a hip art battle in Brooklyn. Her experience, skills and connections are her clients’ best resource in their artistic pursuits.
