Excellance art Gallery in Mirabella, Spain

I received an Instagram message from @excellanceartgallery from Guiseppe Carnevale. He then called me- I did ask him to- after he went to my website and saw my work. A very congenial fellow I must say- and he offered me a solo show in Spain with up to 20 paintings, one painting in a show in Paris, one painting in a show in Monte Carlo, and two paintings in a show in Porto Banos, Spain. Plus a single page in a prominent European Art Magazine. And the package price is 15,500 Euros….. I haven’t seen him or the gallery listed here as as scam and wanted to get input from you all?

    The art “promoter” called Mr. Giuseppe Carnavales from “the gallery” Excellence Art Gallery, suposed in Marbella , Spain, contacted me by Instagram some time ago.
    Afther some conversations with this suposed “profesional” “art curator” I felt myselve very unconfortable and embarrassed by his telephone harassment tactics trying me to accept any of his expensive packs to be represented by him. So, luckly, before take a desicion I just had a look in the artist opinions in the social media.

    Afther, I felt not confidence to invest 15.500€ fee to be represented by him for a hole year with no sells guarantee at all and lots of sispicious promises. For now, he allready would has my money with or without sales. Plus a high percentage in case of any sales, of course, a good deal for him with no fisical Gallery??
    Is not the BEST way to atract new artist or art collectors, not 100% clear and trustable.

    My impresion is that this is an other snake oil salesman case to hypnotize you with what you love to be listened as an artist like an uncharming conversation.

    Mr. Carnavales, understand this Word: NO means NO 😡.

    This Sort of people and these agresive sales are in a countdown 👎🏻

      I had a similar experience with Excellence Art gallery and Giuseppe Carnevale, unprofessional and unsophisticated, coming across as very dodgy.

      Clearly not entirely trustworthy and they would sell their own mother even—the kind of people that would do anything for a few coins.

    Please stay away all of them, Excellence Art Gallery, Giuseppe Carnevale, and Art by Excellence. Self-promotion, opportunism, and personal gain seem to take precedence over honesty, gratitude, and respect for others…

    I was contacted by Giuseppe Carnevale and Excellence Art Gallery via Instagram. The offer struck me as a classic low effort vanity-gallery approach: artists pay, while the promised benefits remain vague and difficult to verify. I won’t be participating. Anyone considering it should ask hard questions about sales history, collector engagement, and what exactly they’re receiving in return for their money.

    From all the comments, it’s clear that Excellence Art Gallery is Vanity Gallery, and also that Giuseppe Carnevale, tries to use every method possible to keep his scam afloat

    And here we go again, suddenly the page appears with comments praising the gallery. Vanity gallerists think artists are so stupid that we believe these praising comments, which are btw written by the gallerists themselves.
    How and why would any artist who has positive experiences with these galleries even come to this page? This page is visited by artists who are looking for information about collaborators, as well as artists who have had bad experiences, and gallerists who google themselves. These gallerists are pathetic.

    In my case, my experience as an artist with Excellence Art Gallery has been positive. I understand that there may be different opinions, but personally, it has brought me a lot. I’ve had the opportunity to participate in international exhibitions in cities such as Paris, Monaco, Brussels, and Barcelona, which has helped me gain experience and showcase my work beyond my local environment.

    Also, just to clarify, the gallery is indeed open in Marbella (Plaza Santo Cristo 9), where some of my works are currently on display. I believe it’s important to listen to the direct experiences of artists rather than relying only on rumors.

    My experience and opinion:

    Just started with him with a pack exhibition and representation for one year; it finally had been five years collaborating. In 2021 was my first solo exhibition in Art Marbella Art Café as the physical gallery with a successfull result. Now a days, even the gallery format had changed there are always different places as headquarters that the artworks got visibility.

    I would not have a long relationship colaboration with Giuseppe Carnevale as an art promoter if I would not feel him profesional, proactive and polite. He offers you more than he propoused on the first deal. I have had a lot of visibility during this years in nacional and international art fairs, private events, newspapers, radio, tv, magazines and different social media.

    In my humble oppinion, I respect every comment I have read. But it is not my experience and feeling during all this time about Excellence Art Gallery and Mr. Carnevale.

    Ps: I am not a chatbot or a friend, it is ondly my opinion.

    OFFICIAL STATEMENT – EXCELLENCE ART GALLERY

    From Excellence Art Gallery, we wish to publicly respond to a series of false, unfounded, and clearly defamatory statements circulated by profiles operating under the name “ANONIMUS.”

    First of all, we consider it necessary to provide context regarding the origin of these publications. These are anonymous profiles that, for months, have been acting repeatedly across different platforms, using multiple identities. This behavior—based on the systematic dissemination of unsubstantiated accusations—lacks credibility and offers no verifiable evidence.

    Below, we respond clearly and directly to the claims made:

    1. Regarding the gallery’s headquarters
    The current headquarters of Excellence Art Gallery is located at Plaza Santo Cristo nº 9 in Marbella, a location that was previously communicated to Google. Visits to the gallery require a prior appointment to ensure the presence of the Artistic Director, Giuseppe Carnevale. Contact phone numbers are available on the website and on Google.
    A change of headquarters is common practice in any business activity and, in this case, also reflects a strong integration within the Marbella environment. Therefore, any insinuation to the contrary is completely false.

    2. Regarding contact with clients
    It has been stated that the gallery contacts numerous individuals, which is not only normal but inherent to any commercial activity. Establishing communication with artists, collectors, and potential clients is an essential part of operating an art gallery. Considering this as something negative demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of the sector.

    3. Regarding “packages” or fees
    Like any professional company, Excellence Art Gallery sets fees for its services, especially in the context of prestigious international art fairs such as Monaco, Brussels, or Paris. These costs are aligned with the relevance and level of such events. Criticism in this regard lacks commercial logic and foundation, as it unrealistically suggests that such participation should be free of charge.

    4. Regarding the quality of exhibitions
    As an example, we highlight some of our most recent participations:

    International fair in Monaco (September 19–21, 2025), at the Chapiteau de Fontvieille, with an official 40 m² stand included in the event catalogue, organized by ART3F.
    International contemporary art fair in Brussels (November 21–23, 2025), organized by ART3F, with official participation.
    Marbella Design Art 2026 (March 19–29, 2026), at the Marbella Exhibition and Congress Palace, where we officially participated in its eighth edition.

    Additionally, on March 24, 2026, the recognized media outlet Europa Press published an article highlighting the success of our participation.

    5. Regarding artistic direction
    The statements directed at the Artistic Director, Giuseppe Carnevale, are entirely unfounded and lacking in rigor. Mr. Carnevale has led the gallery since 2015, with a well-documented track record in publications and activities within the art sector.

    Conclusion
    The statements spread by these profiles not only lack factual basis but also clearly demonstrate an intention to damage the reputation of our gallery through the repeated dissemination of false content.

    From Excellence Art Gallery, we reaffirm our commitment to transparency, professionalism, and the quality of our work, supported by our participation in international fairs and recognition from media outlets.

      Thank you for clarifying that your gallery is indeed a pay to play company and not a real and respected gallery. The artists are your customers, not the people who buy the art. So you don’t make money by selling art, but by renting out the walls. You are a vanity gallery, as you clarified.

      Thank you for confirming our suspicions. It’s quite telling that you require appointments for a gallery that appears to have no dedicated exhibition space. The “Headquarters of Excellence Art Gallery” seems to be little more than a handful of paintings displayed inside Hotel La Fonda Heritage in Marbella, which funny enough, is at the very same address.

      Fellow artists are paying for next to nothing, and what is presented as an established gallery presence, but with a reality that is very different. A vanity gallery with minimal physical presence than a genuine, standalone gallery.

      Greater transparency with artists would be appreciated. Spend your money somewhere else. With a real gallery

    They also contacted me on Instagram, too expensive and not entirely transparent. I also asked a friend who lives in Marbella and said, Excellence Art Gallery doesn’t exist at their address

    I was contacted a few months back and, since I was visiting in Marbella and staying very close, in Guadalpin, I tried to visit Excellence Art Gallery. but when I went to their location on the Golden Mile, I couldn’t find any gallery. I asked next door, and was told that they closed years ago —very sad.

    You should be cautious. You are paying for something you cannot see. These gallery offerrings are making their money off of you paying the fee and not the sale of your work.

      I was contacted on my page, and after a conversation, I had some doubts about the gallery’s reach.

      I encourage fellow artists to remain curious but to conduct thorough research, ask specific questions, and seek feedback from others before engaging.
