El Caballero

El Caballero is an expression of a life in layers — a residence guided less by architecture than by emotion, memory, and the tactile pleasure of the well-lived.

The rooms unfold like chapters of a collector’s story. Walls hung salon-style create a visual conversation between portrait and abstraction, realism and myth. The furniture is equally narrative: velvet and chintz, embroidery and carving, each piece carrying its own provenance. The palette — rose, verdigris, ochre, and faded gold — feels drawn from paintings rather than paint decks, harmonizing with sunlight rather than competing against it.

Throughout, refinement and rebellion coexist. A floral-upholstered sofa sits beneath bold figurative art; a carved gilt mirror reflects a modern relief sculpture. Every juxtaposition is intentional, yet nothing feels staged. The rooms breathe, filled with the energy of living among beloved things.

This project isn’t about perfection or polish; it’s about presence. El Caballero embodies the intimacy of collecting — a home where history is touched daily, and beauty evolves from curiosity, courage, and continuity. It’s both portrait and process: the physical record of an aesthete who has spent years building a point of view.
