Testimonials
New Art Collectors
“[…] Marta was so easy to work with and approachable. She took away any anxiety I had about such a large and personal investment. I had no idea what to expect when I first reached out and I was very impressed with her knowledge of the artist and his works and the buying process. She was able to answer all of my questions and provide me with information I didn't even know I wanted or needed! She even went above and beyond to arrange a time for me to meet [the artist] and visit his studio to pick up the painting, which was truly unforgettable. I will absolutely work with Marta and Latela Curatorial again should the opportunity arise!”

Custom Commission
“Phenomenal service, quality, and affordability. After meeting Marta during a walk-in she came to our house and helped us select the right space and size for a custom commissioned diptych canvas painting. She went the extra mile with finishing touches and delivered and hung the painting herself. We love love love our painting and plan on many more visits to Latela.”
— Joe C., Washington, DC
Collection Strategies
“We did an art consultation with Marta to help us make sense of an unexamined, unused, and unsorted collection of family, personal, and collected artwork. Our goal was to bring our home more to life; to make it more personalized and speak what we want to speak and experience in life. We were frankly amazed at how much we accomplished in a two-hour appointment.
We walked out of our experience with Marta far more clear and articulate and appreciative of our own taste in art, and of the history that we had on our walls. We didn’t realize that our random collection actually cohered in important and meaningful ways.
It was a interesting and deep reflection on our own past, and on our own relationship, and then on how to improve what we have.
Marta does far more than consult on your taste in art. She listens deeply, and makes contextual connections that make your home come to life with the conversation between you and your art.”
— Robert S., Alexandria, VA
Artwork Advisory
“We had a flawless experience working with Latela... Marta is a true professional and an absolutely delightful person. I can’t say enough about how thoughtful she was throughout our decision-making process to purchase a large painting for our home. She gave us great advice and helped us procure the piece quickly, and hang it as well. Thank you!”
— Jonathan C., Washington, DC
Unmatched Service
“An unmatched resource for art collectors, and curatorial services.”
— Marcella K., Washington, DC
Collections Management
“I have been attending art openings and events hosted by Latela for years now and they are always a great time! More recently I have had an excellent consultation session to learn about how to navigate setting up and showing artwork for a family member with a stagnated body of work. Wonderful experience!”
— Taylor F., Alexandria, VA
