Miami Fine Art Gallery Director Reflects on Purpose, Passion, and Progress in the Art World
MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / April 25, 2025 / Les Roberts, Director of Miami Fine Art Gallery, has been featured in a thought-provoking new online interview titled "What Does Success Look Like To You?" The conversation explores Roberts' evolving view of success, shaped by more than 15 years of curating world-renowned art in one of the most dynamic cities in the world.
Roberts, who studied Art History and Business at New York University and trained at Sotheby's, has long been recognized for his ability to blend classical and contemporary works with intention and emotional depth. Since 2008, he has led Miami Fine Art Gallery in curating collections that include masters such as Rembrandt, Picasso, Warhol, and Banksy, while also supporting emerging talents who carry the spirit of innovation.
But in this exclusive Q&A, Roberts moves beyond the business of art to discuss what it really means to achieve lasting success.
"Success, to me, is when a piece of art truly connects with someone," Roberts shares in the interview. "When I see someone pause in front of a piece, really take it in, and feel something shift - that's success. It's personal, emotional, and deeply human."
The interview offers a behind-the-scenes look into Roberts' mindset as a curator, entrepreneur, and creative thinker. He reflects on how his early focus on gallery milestones eventually gave way to a deeper appreciation for meaning and cultural impact-especially in the wake of the global pandemic.
"Earlier in my career, I was focused on acquisitions, exhibitions, and growth," Roberts says. "Those things matter, but over time, I realized that success is about connection and contribution, not just numbers."
Throughout the conversation, Roberts emphasizes the importance of learning from failure, staying connected to the art itself, and being patient in a world that often celebrates quick wins. He offers advice to aspiring creatives to lead with authenticity and resist chasing trends.
The interview also reveals a story close to his heart - a young couple who unexpectedly found a piece at the gallery that moved them deeply. That moment, and their journey into collecting, still stands out as one of his proudest achievements.
"When someone realizes art is for them-not just for the elite - that's everything," Roberts reflects.
With clarity and humility, Les Roberts offers readers a refreshing take on what it means to succeed in today's creative landscape. His vision continues to shape Miami Fine Art Gallery into a space where timeless art and contemporary relevance coexist.
