Adriana Buckley is Colombian but has been based in London for over 25 years. After a career in finance at Credit Suisse she joined Christie’s Education to study art history. Her curiosity with art has grown into a passion, a way of life and a 20 year career in the art world. Adriana graduated from Christie’s in 2002 and joined The Fine Art Group, a global art investment and advisory group which provided useful foundation to understand how the art market operates. She has complemented this foundation over many years with regular dialogue with galleries, institutions, artists and art investors.
