Curated Connoisseurship.
Velaras – from Latin “to vigilantly watch over” – stands for independence, discernment, and conviction.
Art, Not Decoration
Art should be historically relevant, enduring in value, and reflect the discernment of its owner. What you choose to live with inevitably says something about you.
Velaras is for those who are either overwhelmed by the art world’s opacity and complexity or prefer not to devote the time and capital necessary to become insiders. Through our Curated Connoisseurship, museum-quality Post-War art becomes accessible, effortless, and rewarding. Buyers gain access to a broad range of artworks independently sourced and acquired with conviction—guided by deep experience, privileged access, and the confidence to stand behind each piece.
