People Who
Mean It.
Tampa Bay's leading contemporary art gallery, built by working artists for people who want to actually connect with the work they bring home.
Made for Everyone.
Marcolina's Fine Arts Gallery was founded by Guillo Pérez 3 and Marcolina Mercado with a single conviction: that museum-caliber art belongs in real people's lives, not just institutions. Guillo is a Dominican-American expressionist oil painter. Marcolina is a legal professional turned curator. Together they built something neither could have made alone.
What started as a gallery in the heart of historic Ybor City has evolved into something harder to contain in four walls. Marcolina's is now Tampa Bay's leading contemporary art gallery without walls: a living, traveling cultural presence bringing original art, immersive experiences, and genuine creative community to wherever its people are.
Marcolina's Fine Arts Gallery was created to feel different from the traditional art world: warm, welcoming, and alive. That hasn't changed.
Meets Spirit.
Born in Santo Domingo and raised in Queens, New York, Guillo Pérez 3 grew up surrounded by color, story, and discipline. He is the direct heir to one of the Dominican Republic's most respected artistic lineages. His grandfather, the master painter Guillo Pérez, and his father, also a painter, shaped the foundation of his early world.
Today, he works from Tampa, Florida, where he has developed a personal artistic philosophy he calls Bauhaus Budō. It is a synthesis of Bauhaus design principles and the meditative rigor of martial arts. Geometry as structure. Intuition as movement. Color as emotional force.
His subjects include mythic figures like Poseidon, Apollo, and the Taíno moon goddess Atabey, alongside intimate portraits of South Tampa's Victorian architecture and the quietly heroic moments of everyday life.
Four ways we bring art into your life, whether you are a first-time buyer or a lifelong collector.
We represent Guillo Pérez 3 and a curated roster of emerging and established artists. Every work is selected for its integrity, craftsmanship, and ability to hold a room. Payment plans available on all original works. Ships worldwide.
Neon Nights, You Paint Me I Paint You, and open-format sessions led by professional artists, held anywhere in Tampa Bay. We bring everything. You bring your people. No experience required.

Monthly Figure Drawing sessions, Monday Night Art Classes, artist talks, and cultural events that keep Tampa's creative community practicing, growing, and connected to each other.
Cultural Champions.
In 2025, Marcolina's Fine Arts Gallery was recognized by Tampa Bay Business and Wealth Magazine as Philanthropists of the Year, the only Ybor City honoree among all nominees. The award recognized the gallery's sustained commitment to arts access, cultural enrichment, and community building in Tampa Bay.
It is an honor we carry seriously. Not as a trophy, but as a reminder of why we built this in the first place: because Tampa deserved a gallery that felt like home.
