Galatea is a contemporary art gallery based in São Paulo, dedicated to modern and contemporary Brazilian art. The gallery works with established artists alongside emerging voices, while also engaging with historical figures in order to generate dialogue across different periods, cultural contexts, and artistic traditions. Through this layered approach, Galatea situates Brazilian art within broader historical and critical frameworks, encouraging encounters between diverse practices and perspectives.

Its program is defined by an interest in productive tensions, particularly between the old and the new, the canonical and the non canonical, and the erudite and the informal. Galatea emphasizes long term relationships with artists, collectors, and institutions, supported by rigorous research, respect for artistic processes, curatorial care, and transparent commercial practices. The gallery’s name reflects this ethos, referencing the Greek myth of Pygmalion and Galatea as a metaphor for transformation, commitment, and meaningful artistic exchange.
