About
The Art of Personal Connection
Artamour Advisory is a boutique art consultancy based in Southern California, founded on a simple belief: the best collections tell deeply personal stories.
An art world veteran with over two decades of experience, founder Kristen de Bruyn has dedicated her career to connecting clients with inspiring art and objects. As Vice President, Head of Digital Experience at Christie's, she shaped how stories about art, objects, and collectors reached global audiences—a storyteller's perspective she now brings to art advisory. We don't just help you acquire art; we help you discover pieces that reflect your journey, your values, and your vision for how you want to live.
Our Approach
We specialize in Modern and Contemporary Art, guiding clients through every step: from identifying works that speak to you, to navigating the complexities of the art market, to seamless installation. Our personalized service extends to individual collectors, interior designers, artists seeking representation, and corporations building meaningful collections.
Living with art is about curating a life filled with meaning, depth, and inspiration. We're here to make that vision a reality—with expertise, integrity, and genuine care for the stories you want to tell.
Artamour Advisory helps clients discover contemporary art they love, transforming spaces and inspiring daily living.
