My name is Ray Jabre Mouawad (PhD.). I contribute to the Art and History, and the Sacred Art departments of NESart, as I wrote several articles and books in these fields (see links below).
Over the years, we have built strong relationships across the global art scene. Thanks to this trusted network, we can connect you with pieces, people, and opportunities that often remain behind the scenes.
Our work is rooted in trust, curiosity, and a shared love of art. Whether you’re building your first collection or refining an existing one, these values shape the way we guide and support you.
We bring together a deep understanding of art history and the workings of the art market. But more importantly, we take the time to understand you, your taste, your questions, your vision, so we can help you choose works that resonate and endure.
Trust is essential in any advisory relationship. We’re open about prices, sourcing, and every step of the process. Our goal is to make art collecting feel clear, personal, and genuinely enjoyable, today and for years to come.
