Why do museums leave so much space around art? 🖼️

Because sometimes, what surrounds an artwork is just as important as the artwork itself.

Negative space gives us room to pause, observe, and connect. It allows each piece to breathe, draws attention to details we might otherwise overlook, and shapes the way we experience art.

From the distance between works to the way light falls across a gallery, every decision influences how we see, feel, and interpret what’s in front of us.

Good curation isn’t just about what you choose to display. It’s also about knowing what to leave out.

Because art deserves more than a wall. It deserves space to speak.

What do you think — do you prefer a minimalist gallery or a space filled with art?

DIBADIBADU - Some evenings stay with you.

It was a real pleasure to curate this special evening at Diba’s beautiful home, bringing her extraordinary collection together with the work of Diogo Barros Pires, Miguel Rodrigues and Zahra Shahcheraghi.

A heartfelt thank you to Diba and her family for opening their home and sharing their passion for art and collecting with us. And obviously to my dear friends and collectors who came, supported, celebrated and made the evening feel so personal and special — I’m incredibly grateful to have shared it with you.

Thank you to Contemporary Istanbul for being part of this journey and for the continued support.

An evening filled with art, friendship, beautiful people and a little too many special cocktails.🍸

Until the next one. 🤍

A glimpse into our presentation at Contemporary Istanbul, where our booth became a meeting point for artists, collectors, friends, and art enthusiasts throughout the fair.

Across the works on view, we brought together different perspectives, materials, and approaches to contemporary art, creating a dialogue between established and emerging voices.

Thank you to everyone who visited our booth, engaged with the works, shared conversations, and made these days so memorable.

Until the next one. 🤍

Let’s be honest — you’re probably sick of every gallery posting about their participation in Contemporary Istanbul. Fair enough. We’re in too. We just think we’re a little cooler about it.

Come for great art, curation with actual point of view, and people who don’t quite fit the mold. Stay for a glass of Porto. Just don’t forget to swing by our booth.

Artists: Zahra Shahcheraghi, Filipe Real Marinheiro, Jéssica Burrinha
Hall B - 135, Tersane Istanbul

This year’s theme is Opposing, not Opposite — because honestly, that’s just how it is.

With love,

Mariana Custodio Art Gallery is heading to Contemporary Istanbul 2026 with a booth built around contrast — three artists, three very different visual languages, one carefully curated presentation.

Zahra Shahcheraghi brings abstract expressionism laced with figuration, paintings that move through womanhood, intimacy, and the body as a site of transformation, drawing on childhood imagination and personal memory. Her work has already traveled through Tehran, Istanbul, and London, and this new body of pieces continues that exploration in swirling, flesh-toned gestures.

Filipe Real Marinheiro, working out of Lisbon, turns to the physical life of urban space — its transformation, its degradation — through bold spray-painted gestures layered with paper collage. His pieces sit between spontaneity and careful study, leaving room for each viewer to bring their own reading to the surface.

And Jéssica Burrinha rounds out the presentation with sculpture: soil, clay, and cement worked into “living sculptures” that keep transforming and regenerating over time, a practice shown across Portugal, Spain, and Turkey and now held in private collections internationally.

Together the booth traces a throughline from painting to object, from the body to the built environment to raw material itself — different mediums and geographies in conversation. If you’re at the fair, come find us, meet the artists, and see the work up close.

The Difference Between Trendy Art and Timeless Art.

Being trendy isn’t necessarily a weakness. Trends reflect the visual language, desires and anxieties of a particular moment—but the more interesting question is what happens when that moment passes.

Timeless art isn’t defined by being classical, nor is contemporary art automatically temporary. The distinction lies in whether a work simply reflects its time, or transforms its cultural language into something with a life beyond it.

What makes an artwork endure?
A recognizable voice, intention, and an idea that continues to resonate.

From Place to Painting 🌍🎨

What happens when an artist looks at a real place — and turns it into something that exists beyond time?

From Monet’s garden at Giverny to Cézanne’s Mont Sainte-Victoire, Van Gogh’s Saint-Rémy, Vermeer’s Delft, Constable’s Suffolk and Canaletto’s Venice, these landscapes are more than locations. They became images that shaped how we see the world.

Swipe through 12 iconic paintings and the places that inspired them — and see what has changed, what remains, and what only the artist could see.

The place was real.
The vision belonged to the artist.

Should your collection match your interior — or should it lead the room? ✨
Harmony isn’t the same as perfect coordination. Interiors change, walls get repainted, furniture gets replaced — but a piece chosen for genuine connection stays relevant across every home and every stage of life.
So instead of matching colors, look for dialogue: scale, mood, texture, shape. Sometimes the strongest relationship between art and space comes from contrast, not coordination.
Collect for longer than you decorate. 🖼️

What appears to stand in opposition can, in fact, belong together. Different materials. Different visual languages. Different ways of making. Yet in dialogue, these distinct practices reveal that contrast is not conflict—it is what gives transformation its shape.

For Contemporary Istanbul 2026, Mariana Custodio Art Gallery presents “Opposing, Not Opposite”, a three-artist exhibition featuring Zahra Shahcheraghi (Iran), Filipe Real Marinheiro (Portugal), and Jéssica Burrinha (Portugal).

Bringing together painting and sculpture, the exhibition explores transformation as a shared language across three seemingly opposite artistic approaches: Shahcheraghi’s colour-drenched figuration, Marinheiro’s raw-canvas erasures, and Burrinha’s living, earth-built sculptures. Rather than opposing one another, these practices reveal how difference can create dialogue, proving that contrasting artistic languages can coexist, challenge, and strengthen one another.

Join us at Contemporary Istanbul, at Tersane Istanbul, 23–27 September 2026.
