GILDA
Contemporary American Artist
There is a moment that happens reliably when someone stands before a painting by GILDA for the first time. The colours stop them. Then the animal at the centre of the canvas holds them. And then, quietly, something shifts: the sense that what they are looking at is not simply a painting but a living proposition about the relationship between human beings and the natural world.
Chrissy Moore
Founder & Principal Art Advisor at Chrissy Moore Art Advisory
In an art world often perceived as exclusive and intimidating, Chrissy Moore has carved out a distinctive space where accessibility meets integrity, and where both emerging artists and discerning collectors find genuine partnership rather than mere transaction. Her journey from the auction rooms of Sydney and Edinburgh to establishing an independent advisory practice represents more than a career trajectory.

There is a particular kind of attentiveness required to paint a portrait well. It demands more than technical skill or aesthetic instinct. It demands the willingness to truly see another person, to sit with them in silence long enough for something honest to emerge. For Dr. Samruddha Purekar, that willingness has never been a discipline she had to cultivate. It was always simply who she was.
