Marcolina’s Fine Arts Gallery

The speculative frenzy is over.

For years the art market rewarded the next new name. The freshest face. Whoever was generating the most heat that month. That chapter has quietly closed.

Serious collectors in 2026 are buying differently. Not the newest artist. The most coherent one. Artists with history, documentation, and a body of work that could not have been made by anyone else.

Behind every great gallery are two people who believed art could become something larger than themselves.

Guillo Pérez 3 is a Dominican-American expressionist oil painter whose work has been described as museum-caliber, with a growing impact on contemporary creative communities that earned recognition from The New York Times as a “Star Maker.”

Marcolina Mercado grew up immersed in the arts and later became a legal professional before evolving fully into curation and cultural building. She helped shape not just the vision, but the environment where that work could live: refined, intentional, and deeply considered.

Together, they founded Marcolina’s Fine Arts Gallery in Tampa as a destination for serious contemporary art and collectors seeking something more intimate and personal; an experience designed to feel private, elevated, and intentionally curated.

We believe art isn’t decoration. It’s a reflection of who you’re becoming.

Original works. Private events. Figure drawing. Art classes. Community.

From your first original piece to a growing collection, the goal remains simple: make fine art approachable, personal, and unforgettable.

Private showroom by appointment. Ships worldwide. Payment plans available on all original works.

Every painting is a world. Which one speaks to you?

Hey friends 🌟
We know we’ve been a little MIA lately; things behind the scenes have been moving fast over here in the best way possible. Between new projects, planning, creating, and a few exciting things we can’t wait to share yet… we’ve been deep in the studio/world of Marcolina’s lately.

But we’ve missed you. 🩷

A lot of beautiful things are coming soon, and we’re excited to bring you along for all of it. In the meantime, we wanted to remind everyone that our next Figure Drawing Session is happening on Wednesday, May 20th ✍️

There are only a couple spots left, so if you’ve been meaning to join us, now’s the time to reserve your seat. Come unplug for a night, sketch with us, meet good people, and immerse yourself in the creative energy of the space.

More soon. Promise. 👀

🖼️: : the ones on the wall created in his art studio in Tampa, the bottom ones crafted at our last figure drawing session. You should zoom in and check them all out. Trust me.

There’s something about being in a gallery that opens people up.

A painting or sculpture says something… and suddenly, you’re saying something too. Sharing memories, interpretations, emotions you didn’t expect.

Some works are direct. Clear. Immediate. Others take you somewhere else entirely: into a different way of thinking, feeling, seeing. And somewhere in that back and forth… something shifts. That’s the part we love most.

Come experience the conversation and let your mind expand; book your private viewing at Marcolina’s Fine Arts Gallery in Ybor City, Tampa.

You’re not seeing this work the way it’s meant to be seen.

Guillo Pérez 3’s paintings don’t translate through a screen, the movement, the light, the depth… it shifts completely in person.

Fireflies & Auroras is now on view, and the gallery feels especially immersive right now.

Book your appointment for a private viewing; you’ll understand the difference the moment you walk in.
