About

We are Inna Malostovker, a photographer and photo artist and Oscar Esteban Martinez, a visual artist and curator. Together, in 2023, we founded Gato Gordo Gallery.

Gato Gordo Gallery is an art gallery and cultural center dedicated to curating diverse local and international exhibitions, showcasing contemporary works with a variety of styles and mediums. Our gallery highlights emerging and established artists from around the world. Beyond our exhibitions, we serve as a hub for the community by organizing a range of cultural events, from artist talks and live performances to interactive workshops. We also offer drawing, painting, and sculpture classes for all skill levels, providing a space where creativity and culture come together in the heart of Miami.

We, the founders of Gato Gordo Gallery, are passionate cat lovers and share our lives with a number of feline companions. We believe cats embody a spirit of curiosity, elegance, and mystery—qualities often found in great art. The name “Gato Gordo,” meaning “Fat Cat” in Spanish, was inspired by our love for cats and the way well-fed, content cats naturally invite affection.

Fat cats, in particular, are often irresistibly cuddly and exude a peaceful, laid-back charm that makes you want to reach out and pet them. Much like these tender creatures, the Gato Gordo Gallery aims to create an environment that’s warm, welcoming, and filled with art that draws people in—sparking joy and the desire to linger and connect.

Just as a “gordo gato” captures our hearts with its lovable roundness, this gallery captures the imagination with its thoughtful collection of artworks that inspire comfort and delight.
