thank you note
Dear friends and art lovers,
​
After two meaningful years, we have decided to close the gallery—for now.
It has been an intense and beautiful journey, with many highlights and valuable lessons. Due to the current economic climate, changes in the art market, and the realities of running a gallery today, we feel it is time to pause.
​
This moment also opens a new chapter for me personally. In early 2026, I will publish my first book, Dancing Out of the Dark, an intimate memoir set in the world of Buenos Aires tango. I will also be completing my master’s thesis on the symbolism of footwear in contemporary Latin American art.

​
We still have works available in Belgium by Sebastián Chillemi, Verónica Orlando, and Eduardo Santiago, at exceptional prices—feel free to reach out.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support, trust, and presence along the way. We wish you all a wonderful New Year and hope our paths cross again.

Amar Arte
The diversity of contemporary art in Argentina is
a vibrant reflection of the country's rich history, culture and creativity.
At the same time, it is a testament to its complex socio-economic reality.​
This
A R G E N T I N E N E S S
​that we at Amar Arte consider 'unique'
never ceases to surprise.
Our Story
Amar Arte is a Buenos Aires-based art gallery with a passion for celebrating Argentina's dynamic art scene. We are dedicated to showcase the talent of mainly Argentine artists at every stage of their careers, whether they are emerging voices or established names. Each artist we represent embodies the vibrant spirit of our home country's landscape.
The gallery was founded by Karin Dhadamus, a Belgian-born currently pursuing a Master's degree in Curating Contemporary Art at the ESEADE University in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Karin also holds a degree in Law from the Catholic University of Leuven ( 1988 ) and a Master's Degree in International Economics & Politics from the Johns Hopkins University, Washington D.C. ( 1990 )
With less than two years after founding the gallery, Amar Arte already participated in the 2024 & 2025 Affordable Art Fair Brussels (AAF BXL), where we exhibited works by Sebastián Chillemi, Natalia Biasioli and Eduardo Santiago alongside creations from Pablo Guiot, Luciana Guiot & Gia. In 2025 we were invited at the Lille ArtUp! Fair as well, and honored to be selected for a very successful first Affordable Art Fair Vienna edition.
Amar Arte also represents artists Soledad Rolleri, textile artists Veronica Orlando, Alejandra Pedernera and Ines Devoto.
