Founded in 2016 by artist and educator Pau Marinello, Contemporary Paintings exists to bring people closer to art. We showcase outstanding contemporary talent on a global scale, while guiding artists to develop their practice and reach new audiences.

With more than a decade of experience teaching at the Barcelona Academy of Art, in a university program, and through workshops worldwide—while also developing his own practice through murals, commissions, and exhibitions—Pau brings a dual perspective as both artist and mentor. He currently mentors a select group of artists, including participants from the Quarantine Events in Menorca.

At our core is a belief in the power of art: to inspire, challenge, and transform. Bringing people closer to art will always be our mission.
