Arabella von Arx is the founder of Gallery Particulier. With a background in film and media, she let her attraction to the visual arts take over her professional life, and has not looked back. She is an art critic, and writes reviews about exhibitions in New York and in Europe. Her articles have appeared in Riot Material, Le Temps, Litro UK, Arte Fuse, The Decadent Review, and more.

Having served as the Executive Director of IQ, an international organization of film producers, she is bringing that experience to Gallery Particulier, as well as her passion for art, for people, for connecting all sorts of dots. Joy and kindness are not to be discounted, as far as she is concerned.

She lives in Brooklyn, having grown in Switzerland, and spent some wonderful years in London. She’s a writer. A friend (a good one, she hopes). An activist. A dreamer. A doer.

From programs such as Achievement First, Harlem Children Zone, and Queens Public Library, Quiana has years of experience working with the underserved youth of NYC. Quiana is utilizing her savvy to serve as the Communications Manager/Junior Art Curator for Gallery Particulier. Currently she is working on some personal writing projects, and when she isn’t in work mode, she can be found caring for her plants or outside communing with nature.
