Our founder
Bleu Bosworth founded Optima Contemporary after a career in property and finance and a lifelong passion for collecting art.
His aim was to bridge the gap between traditional art sales and informed, transparent advice. Education and thoughtful acquisition sit at the centre of every relationship.
“A lasting collection should feel personal today and remain meaningful for generations.”
