Alexandra Mazzanti is a Rome- and London-based art advisor, curator, and gallerist with over 20 years of experience in the international art world. As the founder and director of Dorothy Circus Gallery (est. 2007), she is known for her visionary approach to contemporary figurative and surrealist art, and for championing emotionally charged, symbol-rich narratives that resonate across time.

Her practice extends beyond the contemporary. Alexandra is also a dedicated researcher of period paintings, overlooked artists, and female voices from the past, with a particular interest in the sentimental and symbolic language found in still life, portraiture, and outsider art. She brings this historical depth into dialogue with today’s most compelling visual voices—curating exhibitions and collections that transcend eras and invite deeper reflection.

Alexandra advises private and institutional collectors worldwide, sourcing significant works from both established artists and emerging talents. Her insight into the art market is matched by a strong emotional intelligence and intuitive understanding of each client’s aesthetic and personal journey.

She also works closely with interior designers and architects to integrate curated artworks into bespoke living and exhibition spaces. Her ability to envision and compose refined, meaningful environments—whether residential, commercial, or institutional—is a distinctive aspect of her curatorial signature.

Her advisory service is personal and confidential, guided by the belief that collecting is not just about acquiring works, but about building lasting, emotional connections with art that mirrors our inner worlds.
