Art Advisory
Considered guidance, for collectors at any stage
MeSo Ventures advises private collectors, family offices and institutions in London, Dubai, across the wider UAE and in India — bringing gallery-level market knowledge to every acquisition.
Collection Building
We work alongside collectors over the long term, developing a considered acquisition strategy shaped by your taste, budget and ambitions — from a first purchase to a museum-calibre collection.
Art Investment
Independent guidance on works with genuine market trajectory, grounded in provenance, exhibition history and an artist's institutional standing — not speculation.
Private Sales
Discreet, off-market placement and acquisition for collectors and estates who require confidentiality, careful timing and direct relationships with artists and galleries.
Art Sourcing
Access to specific works, artists or periods on request — drawing on our network across London, Dubai and beyond to locate pieces that rarely reach the open market.
Track record
Independent advice is only as good as the practice behind it. Ours runs across the gallery and the advisory at once — representing artists from a first acquisition through to institutional placement, and sourcing privately for collectors across three markets.
Exhibitions with Bulgari in London
We have hosted exhibitions with Bulgari in London for emerging artists — placing their work in front of an audience most artists at that stage never reach.
Exhibitions at Soho House Mumbai
We have exhibited artists at Soho House Mumbai, bringing work by London-based painters in front of collectors in the Indian market.
Frieze Connect
Our founder, Eirini Meze, is a Global Ambassador for Frieze Connect, leading the expansion of membership across the Middle East and India and hosting a programme of events for collectors new to the art market.
Institutional and charitable practice
Eirini is Founder and Chairwoman of FAACII (For Art and Culture in India Inc.), a New York–incorporated 501(c)(3) public charity advancing India's artistic and cultural heritage. She previously served on the Board of Trustees of the Amelie and Daniel Linsey Foundation in London, curating its annual charity gala and art auction at The Peninsula London, conducted by a Christie's auctioneer.
South Asian art and Indian Modern Masters
The advisory sources and privately sells Modern and Contemporary works for collectors in Europe, the Middle East, India and the United States, with particular depth in South Asian art and Indian Modern Masters — an expertise that anchors us between the Western and South Asian markets rather than confining us to either.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does an art advisory service actually do?
We work as an independent, fee-based guide through every stage of buying art — sourcing works that fit your taste and budget, vetting authenticity and provenance, negotiating price, and managing shipping, insurance and installation. Our recommendations aren't tied to any auction house or single gallery's inventory.
Do I need to already be a collector to work with you?
No. We work with first-time buyers furnishing a single room as often as we do with established collectors building a museum-calibre collection — the process simply scales to your ambitions and budget. If you're just starting out, our guide to starting an art collection is a good place to begin.
Can you help me choose art for my home or apartment, not just as an investment?
Yes — a large part of our advisory work is exactly this: selecting original contemporary pieces that suit a specific home, apartment or office, in the scale, palette and mood the space calls for, alongside any longer-term collecting goals you may have.
Which cities and regions do you serve?
We're based in London and Dubai, and advise clients across the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates and India. Cross-border shipping, customs and installation are handled as part of the service — our guide to tax-efficient art acquisition sets out the questions worth settling before a work crosses a border.
How much does art advisory cost?
Fees depend on the scope — a single acquisition versus an ongoing collection-building mandate. We agree terms upfront before any work begins, and there is no cost to a first conversation.
