Really unique and beautiful art gallery. The staff is very friendly, kind, and helpful. They helped me pick out the perfect piece! They offer international shipping which is great if you don’t want to take your art back in your luggage. There are even some cats that live here that are so cute!

Wow! Maxó is the real deal. Compassionate, creative and so very talented. I really enjoyed our chat while I picked out my favorite pieces...eventually shipped to my home in Los Angeles.

Walking with a group me and my partner in crime both spotted this place at the same time and immediately walked in without either of us skipping a beat or saying a word.

The paintings! I now own 7. Bought some as gifts because the prices are  reasonable, not typical in the art world. If you're considering stopping in at any of his galleries, just do it. Gorgeous work, friendly environment and art that is affordable. It's not cheap but this is one of a kind, stunning, inspiring art you can take home without breaking the bank.

SO happy I ticked off the group of friends I was with who were hustling to dinner and drinks...me and my partner in crime walked in without telling anyone. They found us eventually. They were tipsy. They survived.

Such a nice and warm place to visit! As I entered this small but cosy gallery, the smell of paint hit me, as the artist was painting at the time. There’s so many art pieces, and what is fascinating, that they’re are all made by this gallery artists from start to finish. There’s a lot of beautiful paintings but also old books, cameras, framed pictures of places around Barcelona and there’s two fury balls living here - Vincent van Gogh and Diego, those are the names of cats. 😸
