OUR Story

Four Decades of Transforming Spaces Through Art

Avila Fine Arts has a rich history that began over four decades ago. In the late 1970s, Avila Graphics was founded in a New York City brownstone. The company, named after a historic province in Spain, quickly established itself as a trusted art source. Over time, the business evolved, relocating to a beautifully renovated barn on a horse farm, where its reputation as a premier art consultancy for a discerning clientele was solidified. Today, Avila Fine Arts continues its legacy under the combined expertise of Cynthia Hoogland and its current leadership under Ankita Patel and Priti Vaghasiya. The company’s history of integrity and service excellence is the foundation for its mission to bring harmony and inspiration through art to every space it curates, all while maintaining the personal touch and meticulous standards that have defined us for over 45 years. Our story isn’t just about longevity; it’s about evolution. We deliver innovative and relevant solutions that are as effective today as they were when our company began.
