Michelle D'Souza is an art advisor based in London, trading as MDS Fine Art since 2011. Having worked in the visual art industry across several continents covering Japan, the US and the UK, she has unique understanding and extensive knowledge of the art market. Her service is discreet, and her expertise lies in her resourceful curation of modern and contemporary art collections, collaborating with collectors, private foundations, and corporations across the US, Europe, Middle East, and Asia.

Her portfolio showcases a breadth of experience, from orchestrating large-scale outdoor sculpture commissions in collaboration with architects and interior designers, to locating paintings and three-dimensional works for both residential and corporate spaces. Her tenure at Lisson Gallery in London, spanning 15 years, provided her with the opportunity to work closely with the owner of the gallery in promoting artists, including the likes of Anish Kapoor, Tony Cragg, Lee Ufan and Sol Lewitt.

Her relationships with galleries, private dealers and artists provides her with exceptional access to source some of the most high-calibre works for her clients—often those that others cannot readily obtain.
