The Pensofino Collection was officially conceived in 2024, when Enio and I took matters into our own hands and organized a solo exhibition in Tribeca, NYC. Its true origin, however, traces back to a summer day in January 2020, when I stumbled upon Enio’s artwork while walking through Palermo Soho in Buenos Aires, Argentina. That spontaneous encounter led to my first art acquisition and unknowingly marked the beginning of a journey that would reshape my life as a patron of the arts.

While the collection has expanded over time to include works by artists from diverse backgrounds, its core mission remains unchanged: to support and promote the work of Enio Arroyo Gomez through exhibitions in New York City and abroad, in collaboration with galleries, institutions, and individuals who share our belief in the depth and power of his art.

Very humbly, and perhaps simply instinctively, I believe Enio’s artwork has the ability to reach deep into the subconscious. Emerging from a place of profound sincerity and personal truth, it holds nothing back. Its form, its honesty, and its indifference to how viewers might react feel almost childlike. It carries such authenticity at its core that it remains unaffected by whether it evokes joy, sadness, fear, anger, reflection, embarrassment, or any combination thereof.

It is this remarkable level of sincerity and persistence, present both in his art and in his personal demeanor, that has inspired me to dedicate my spare time and resources to supporting his artistic growth. I hope you’ll find Enio’s work as unique, intriguing, and thought-provoking as I do, and that you will ultimately choose to join us on this journey.
