Buying contemporary art in Spain is much more than a transaction: it is an emotional, aesthetic, and cultural investment. Whether you are an experienced collector or an interior designer looking for unique pieces to transform spaces, this practical guide offers you the key steps to acquire artworks with discernment, confidence, and style.
1. Define your goal: collection or decoration?
The first question you should ask yourself is:
Are you buying for passion, investment, or aesthetics?
If you are a collector, you will seek artworks with artistic value and potential; if you work in interior design or decoration, you will prioritize visual harmony and the emotional impact of the pieces within a space.
At Bālta Gallery, for example, you can find both established artists with international careers and artworks that add character and sophistication to any environment.

2. Do your research: get to know the artist and their work
The value of an artwork lies not only in its aesthetics but also in its creative context. Before purchasing, research the following:
- Artist’s biography
- Exhibition history
- Awards or grants received
- Participation in fairs or biennials
Example: Fernando Gaspar, introspection and abstraction
Example: Alejandro Quincoces, contemporary humanism
3. Buy from trusted galleries
Make sure the place where you buy is professional, transparent, and reputable. Contemporary art galleries offer:
- Certificates of authenticity
- Personalized advice
- National and international shipping options

4. Art as an interior design tool
Art is a key element in transforming spaces. A good choice can give a room identity, balance materials, or break the rigidity of a design.
“An artwork doesn’t just decorate — it tells a story and creates atmosphere,” explain the team at Bālta Gallery.
Tips for integrating art into interior design projects:
- Choose large formats for spacious areas
- Combine textures: canvas, wood, sculpture
- Use the artwork as the focal point of the environment
- Coordinate colors with the furniture without blending in
- Consider lighting as part of the artistic narrative
