Massimo Martina is a collector and dealer of modern art based in Cyprus, with a particular passion for bronze sculptures and the surreal artistry of Salvador Dalí. His appreciation for art is deeply rooted in his family history—he grew up admiring the paintings and frescoes of his great-grandfather, Francesco Agnesotti, a regional artist known for his religious works that grace numerous churches and votive chapels.
Despite this artistic heritage, Massimo initially pursued a career in the banking and corporate sector, where he developed valuable skills in business and management. However, his deep-seated passion for art eventually led him to shift his professional focus, approaching the art world from a business and market-driven perspective. Over the past 15 years, he has been closely involved with the Dali Universe, an organization dedicated to preserving and promoting Salvador Dalí’s sculptural legacy. Through his work, Massimo has contributed to expanding awareness and appreciation for Dalí sculptures, helping the organization develop into a recognized center of excellence in the field of Dalinian three-dimensional art.
In recent years, Massimo has been dedicated to expanding the reach of Dalí Universe sculptures into new international markets. His efforts focus on fostering meaningful collaborations with curators, galleries, and art dealers, ensuring that Salvador Dalí’s unique vision continues to inspire collectors and art enthusiasts worldwide. Through these partnerships, he works to bring Dalí’s sculptural masterpieces to new audiences, maintaining the integrity and authenticity of these extraordinary works.
Beyond his work with Dalí sculptures, Massimo is committed to promoting beauty, craftsmanship, and good taste in various artistic and decorative fields. Through a collaboration with Marmi Ragano, a renowned supplier of high-quality Italian artisan works, he also facilitates the distribution of fine natural stone and gres porcellanato materials. These exceptional materials are used in furniture, kitchens, and architectural applications, serving the construction and real estate industry with a commitment to elegance and superior craftsmanship.
Massimo takes pride in sharing his passion for art in a way that is both accessible and enriching, ensuring that beauty, creativity, and excellence remain at the forefront of his endeavors. Whether through the distribution of Dalí sculptures or the promotion of Italian artisan materials, his mission remains the same—to bring timeless artistic value into the lives of collectors, designers, and connoisseurs who appreciate the finest in art and design.
