We are a young gallery, located in Calçada Marquês de Abrantes 72 in Santos-o-Velho.

Galeria Belo-Galsterer believes in multicultural diversity, therefore we work together with artists of different origins, and different generations, to present them to the Portuguese and international art scene, to its collectors and institutions. The artists represented by Belo-Galsterer, show a great interest in exploring the values of contemporary society by using a wide range of expressions.
