Riyaaz Gallery

At 20, I launched a contemporary art online gallery with zero budget and a "do-it-yourself" ethos. I reviewed over 1,000 portfolios to scout 20 promising artists, managing the full cycle from online promotion to closing sales in the first month. The project expanded into the physical realm with offline exhibitions like Borders at WIP and Abstract Meanings at Kommunalka Gallery, proving that resilience can substitute for capital.
