Paseo Art Gallery - Mandaluyong City, Philippines

Paseo Art Gallery was born out of John Valenzuela’s weakness to say no to friends who would often cajole him to sell art works he has collected since the mid-1990s. In 2005, he opened up his once residential condominium turned stock room at the Paseo Parkview Towers along Valero St., Salcedo Village, Makati City to friends and guests who would request private viewings. Apprehensive that the residents would take note of the bustling commercial activity, John opted for a retail space at Glorietta IV Ayala Center Makati in 2008.
