About Stronddo
The story of Stronddo begins with two entrepreneurial minds from entirely different worlds, united by a common passion: art.
On one side stands José Marques Pereira, an entrepreneur and the long-time owner of a traditional antique shop, who saw in his newly founded gallery (PAC – Portuguese Art Center) the chance to expand into the digital realm and reach an international audience. On the other side is Gonçalo Malho Rodrigues, founder of one of Portugal’s leading digital marketing agencies, bringing the strategic vision needed to take this new venture to the next level.
In June 2024, the harmony between the traditional art market and cutting-edge digital marketing led to the creation of Stronddo.
Stronddo brings together over 170 international artists and a collection of more than 2,500 original artworks.
Our mission
It is our mission to create a shared space where creativity sparks meaningful connections, dialogues, and discoveries.
By focusing on the simplicity and depth of "Creativity Connects Us", Stronddo is positioned as a hub of artistic convergence, inviting artists, enthusiasts, and the community to come together in a celebration of creativity's unifying power.
From the outset, Stronddo’s mission has been clear: to encourage dialogue among people, expressions, and ideas, cultivating an inclusive, supportive environment for both contemporary and traditional art.
At the same time, it recognizes the importance of providing artists with the foundation crucial for any career: the opportunity to sell their work. Beyond receiving recognition and respect among peers, it is through sales that many artists gain the momentum to keep creating and advancing professionally.
Connecting artists and audiences on a global scale
Today, Stronddo works with over 170 international artists and curates a portfolio of more than 2,500 original pieces, reaffirming its commitment to connecting the world with art.
Stronddo stands as a testament that when tradition, innovation, and passion come together, they spark transformative projects that inspire not only the art world, but everyone who believes in the unifying power of creativity.
