Colector, established in 2019 by architect and prominent art scene advocate Jesús Alberto Flores, is a contemporary art gallery with a dual presence in San Pedro Garza García, part of the Monterrey metropolitan area—a leading cultural and economic hub in Mexico—and Houston, Texas, a key center of artistic innovation in the United States. Colector seeks to engage with diverse audiences and markets, connecting Latin American and international art communities through its cross-border operations.
The gallery’s mission is to push the boundaries of contemporary art by encouraging new and experimental artistic languages that traverse conceptual and abstract art. With a carefully curated roster, Colector represents emerging and mid-career artists who challenge conventional narratives, as well as internationally recognized artists working in a wide range of media including sculpture, painting, sound art, performance, and film.
The gallery’s curatorial approach emphasizes a commitment to experimentation and intellectual inquiry, treating the exhibition space as a laboratory where ideas are tested, collaborations are nurtured, and the role of contemporary art is continuously redefined. Colector’s exhibitions and projects are designed not only to engage viewers but also to provoke dialogue, encouraging critical thinking about the intersections of culture, identity, and artistic expression.
With a growing presence in both Mexico and the U.S., Colector continues to play a vital role in supporting innovative artistic practices and fostering international cultural exchange, contributing to the global conversation on contemporary art. The gallery regularly participates in major art fairs across the Northern Hemisphere and is known for curating well-recognized ephemeral exhibitions outside of the Americas, further extending its influence and engagement with diverse global audiences.
