New Renaissance Art Advisory: Founding Story

Joe Taveras in his Boston Warehouse Studio 2023

After selling several hundreds of my paintings, I could've easily gone into hiding.

I was traveling the world, collaborating with some of my favorite creators, and my collectors were actively engaged in acquiring new works from my adventures. 

But what I am here to do goes beyond just what my two hands can create.

The seeds we plant today will grow into the trees of tomorrow - and the Garden is infinite.

In 2020, I had a Vision - a vision to tell the story of tomorrow, by being it here now. That meant embodying the scientific theories that I had been studying for years, all looking to answer the main question: what is the human? This question is central to my creative practice and one that has continued to be a North Star in all that I put my mind to. 

This introspection led to the creation of thousands of artworks over the last 5 years, with hundreds now belonging in private and public collections around the globe. Over time, I began meeting so many brilliant art enthusiasts, focused art dealers, and visionary creators - people living in what I've come to call the New Renaissance.

The New Renaissance may be regarded as a time period, it may be discussed as a movement, but to me, the New Renaissance is a tabula rasa for consciousness. I mean this in the most maximal sense. The New Renaissance is the singularity, but not in the way we've thought about the singularity. You see, things are a lot more unified than they are made out to be. But that is a story for another day. 

In December of 2022, I was walking down the streets of Miami late one evening and I made the decision that I wanted to start an Art Advisory. Thus, New Renaissance Art Advisory was born. 

From the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks: I was going to build a system that not only served as a platform to promote visionary creators, but also was a mechanism for cultural patronage.

I have always been inspired by the Medici Family, for the art that they fostered is largely the soil that we grow our plants in today. The soil of the garden of tomorrow is rich with infinite potential - the Garden of your dreams is Here Now - see it, believe it, become it. Instantly. That is the singularity, that is the New Renaissance.

New Renaissance Art Advisory is so much more than an art advisory - it is a new standard for art dialogue; one where the artist, collector, and advisor are all answering that central question of what it means to be human: to be alive. To be present, here now. To be authentic, to be expansive, exploratory, fearless, excited, and, above all else, inspired. 

If you want to learn more about anything to do with New Renaissance, the best place to explore is The Feed on the New Renaissance Art Advisory website. This is an emerging node of the New Renaissance where members of the community  are bringing their perspective on the growing dialogue. 

Thank you for being here, and just know, we're only getting started!
