Galería La Cometa was founded 35 years ago to contribute to the development of the local art scene. Since then, the gallery has been a plural space whose management is focused on the representation, promotion and dissemination of mainly Latin American artists, which has consolidated it as one of the most influential artistic platforms in the region. Today, La Cometa has three offices in two countries: Colombia (Bogotá and Medellín) and Spain (Madrid). La Cometa is a project designed to facilitate relationships between the viewer, the work of art and the artists, from the different aspects of contemporary art. In addition, the gallery's program seeks to constantly include Latin American Modern Art references, which provide a fundamental context to current artistic production.

To strengthen the presence of the gallery in the Colombian territory, La Cometa opens its doors in the city of Medellín in 2019, betting on the growth of the local art scene. Jim and Olga de Amaral were the artists invited to inaugurate the second gallery space, whose curatorial line is the alternation between the two fronts of work that La Cometa has had in recent years, the constant display of references of modern art and representation of contemporary artists.

With the idea of ​​consolidating the gallery's link with the Madrid art scene and expanding the visibility of Latin American art in Europe, La Cometa opened its doors in Madrid in 2019 with a sample of 5 contemporary Colombian artists. In principle, the space was designed to house projects by Latin American artists, both established and emerging and even focus the gallery on installation projects. However, the exhibition calendar has slowly mutated to include within the curatorial line contemporary Spanish artists such as Juan Baraja and Paloma Gámez whom demonstrate the cultural exchange between the two continents.
