Inga Santa Maria · Founder · Milan

Art speaks. I make sure it is heard.

I come to the art world by an unusual route: a degree in systems engineering and more than twenty years as marketing director for the official Mercedes-Benz and Renault-Nissan dealerships. There I learned that communication works when it brings together strategy, data and storytelling. Today I put that method at the service of galleries, artists and cultural events. A certified AIS sommelier, because art, like wine, has to be told well. I work in Italian, English and Russian.

The method

A plan, not a hunch

In a field that communicates on instinct, I bring a plan: who to reach, in what words, on which channels, and how to tell whether it worked.

What sets me apart

I bring the institutions

Not only journalists and collectors, but universities, academies, consulates and the diplomatic corps. It is a network built over the years, one that lends authority to the show and the artist and turns an opening into a recognised event.

The writing

I tell the work

Interviews with artists, texts and newsletters under my byline: words that bring the public closer to the work, without jargon and without rhetoric.
