Do you work with collectors outside Croatia?
Yes. Most of the relationship runs remotely, and the DLightful Gallery virtual platform makes private viewings possible regardless of where you are. In-person visits are arranged where it makes sense.
Can you help me exhibit or publish my collection, not just add to it?
Yes — this is often the heart of the work. Curating exhibitions of a collection, writing the texts that present it, building institutional relationships, and handling the public-facing side are central to what I do, and they draw directly on my curatorial and art-historical background.
You run a gallery and represent artists — isn’t that a conflict?
It would be if I pushed my artists on you, and I don’t. The advisory relationship serves your collection, not my roster. If I see a genuine fit, I’ll suggest an introduction and explain why; the decision is always yours, with no pressure either way.
Do you take a commission on what I buy?
No. I work for a flat monthly fee. I don’t take commission from you, from dealers, or from galleries on anything you acquire. That’s part of what keeps the relationship honest.
Are you an art advisor or an art historian?
An art historian, first and foremost, working with collectors. The reason that distinction matters: my guidance is grounded in research and art-historical context rather than in market speculation. I can help you understand, exhibit, document, and thoughtfully grow a collection. For formal valuations or market analysis, I’d direct you to a specialist in that — it’s a different discipline, and I won’t pretend it’s mine.
