The vocation of Alzueta Gallery is to represent its time. To be the creative reflection that unites the will, works, and desires of the contemporary creators it represents. Young, emerging, and established artists, both Spanish and foreign, all joined by a criterion, a perspective, and an aesthetic that seek to transcend the first and subtle layer of form, to reach other depths where ethics is the ultimate purpose of art
