Guirado Estate & Foundation

Catalina Guirado is the president of the Guirado Art Estate, dedicated to continuing the legacy of her father, the internationally acclaimed Spanish-Australian painter from Jaén, Andalucía, Spain. Following his passing in 2010, Catalina, as the heir to the Guirado Estate, embarked on a mission to restore his name within the upper echelons of Spanish art history.

Over the past 12 years, she has worked alongside a team of professionals from around the globe to curate and oversee the estate's operations, organizing international art exhibitions in collaboration with museums, foundations, and galleries to reintroduce her father's work on a global scale. A landmark moment came in 2017 when she showcased his artwork at the Coral Gables Museum during Art Basel Miami, partnering with FLOAT VR to transform his spiritual paintings into a meditative virtual reality experience, engaging a contemporary audience.

In 2018, Catalina produced a significant exhibition with the University of Jaén, honoring her father as a maestro of the region and inducting him into the Cesario Rodriguez Aguilera Foundation alongside Spanish masters such as Picasso, Miró, and Tapies. This pivotal undertaking laid the groundwork for ensuring Guirado’s legacy endures, solidifying his rightful place in Spain’s rich artistic history and the mythology of Andalucía.

Catalina and the Guirado Estate have been featured in top publications including Vanity Fair, L'Officiel Art, ELLE, Marie Claire, Arte, AD magazine, and ABC Culture as well as television and radio interviews about her work to promote Spanish art.
