Who We Are

Carla Cisno, Founder & Principal

ArtTech advisor, independent appraiser, and Web3 specialist with over a decade of international experience working at the intersection of art, culture, and technology. Educated in Geneva (Fine Art, Haute École d’Art et Design, HEAD), New York (Digital Art, Columbia University School of the Arts), London (Collection Management, Christie’s Education), and São Paulo (Risk Management, FIA Business School), she has developed a comprehensive understanding of the global art market, its trends and opportunities, while balancing vision and execution with an agile, curious, and versatile mindset.

As a former gallery manager in New York City, she was responsible for managing all facets of the gallery's daily operations. This included overseeing registration and inventory & collections management, executing consignment and loan agreements, and supervising the movement, packing, storage, and transportation of artwork from both the gallery and artists' studios to art fairs and client locations around the globe. After completing a Postgraduate Diploma in Finance with a thesis focused on Risk and Art Wealth Management, she was selected to participate in the global NFT Talents program, sponsored by the Blockchain Center of the Frankfurt School of Finance, to further research the potential of Web3, real-world asset tokenization and digital asset management applied to Fine Arts and the cultural sector.

In her appraisal practice, Carla specializes in modern, contemporary, Latin American, emerging, and digital art, assisting individual collectors, corporate clients, museums, and estates with all aspects of collection management, market intelligence, and valuation needs. Her services include USPAP-compliant appraisals for art finance, insurance, asset management, as well as tax and estate planning. Carla is an active member of the International Society of Appraisers (ISA), the International Art Market Studies Association (TIAMSA), the American Alliance of Museums (AAM), and the International Blockchain Association (IBCA).
