Meet the Team
Owners
Drew & Mauro Pietrafesa
A new era of artistic vision is taking shape in Delray Beach as Drew and Mauro Pietrafesa assume leadership of one of the city’s most admired contemporary art galleries. With a shared passion for design, storytelling, and community, the couple brings a refined and forward-thinking perspective to South Florida’s evolving arts scene.
Drew, a creative entrepreneur known for his luxury jewelry brand Pietrafesa, has long envisioned creating a space where fine art and luxury design converge. Mauro, whose background spans business and culinary arts, shares that vision and brings a refined, intuitive eye for curating experiences that are both elegant and inclusive. Together, they see Posh Gallery as more than a space to exhibit art, but as a living platform for dialogue, discovery, and human connection.
“We love Posh Gallery with every inch of our souls,” says Drew. “Mauro and I want this gallery to reflect our values, supporting artists, celebrating diversity, and inviting people into a meaningful experience with art.”
