Alma Thea 18 Gallery

Alma Thea 18 is a gallery I co-founded and direct. The mission of the gallery is to rewrite art history and shed light on overlooked and forgotten masters of South America.

All research, written words and photos are my own work.

  • Carlos Sessano

    ​Carlos Sessano’s mastery of the arts encompasses film, paint, ceramics and theater. Sessano was born in Argentina in 1935, and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts of Buenos Aires in his youth. Sessano quickly gained notoriety with art critics throughout Argentina with his first solo show in 1954.

  • Juan Manuel Sánchez

    Juan Manuel Sánchez played a crucial role in liberating Argentinian arts. He was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1930, the eldest of five children in a working class family. Though he would mature into one of Argentina’s most renowned artists, it is said that a young Sánchez greatly disappointed his hard-working father by pursuing the “bohemian” lifestyle.

  • Mario Mollari

    Mario Mollari was born in Buenos, Argentina in 1930. With an innate gift for the arts, he would become a self-taught master. He had no formal training in the arts, but his travels and curiosity allowed him to develop immense cultural capital; cultivating a deep understanding of the great Mexican muralists and the European master innovators of modernity.
