He studied at a German high school in his hometown, Nikolaus Lenau, before earning two separate degrees in Video Art, Photography and History of Fine Art at the West University of Timisoara. He later completed with merit a Masters in Art Business at Sotheby's Institute of Art in London. Currently he runs his own commercial gallery and became more recently the executive director of the Jecza Museum & Triade Foundation. Andrei Jecza is committed to promote and represent mainly Romanian artists who pioneered experimental art forms in the early 1960s and 70s, being also concerned with cutting edge contemporary artists. Through international connections and partnerships, he developed the reputation of the artists he represents, succeeding in placing them in international well-known collections, like the MUMOK Museum of Contemporary Art in Vienna, MOCAK Museum of Contemporary Art in Krakow, Ritter Collection in Germany, Tate Modern in London etc.
Andrei Jeczaâs main activity is dedicated to Jecza Gallery, which is trying to become the platform for contemporary art in West Romania.
In 2023 alongside other eight contemporary art galleries Andrei Jecza co-founded RAD Art Fair in Bucharest. For 2024 Jecza Gallery produced an exhibition of Tincuta Marin which opened within the opening week of Venice Biennale in Venice. By the end of 2024 Jecza Gallery will have a second gallery space in Bucharest.

From his childhood initiation into the arts at the Academy de Beaux-Arts in Bruges, Louis Buysse has fostered a deep connection with art, design, architecture, and craftsmanship. This early start paved the way for a life steeped in creativity and a broad understanding of artistic techniques and mediums.
His educational journey, marked by a fusion of artistic and business acumen, began with an architecture-focused secondary education, followed by a degree from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (KASK). Here, under the mentorship of notable Belgian artists like Vincent Geyskens and Narcisse Tordoir, Louis delved into fine arts and contemporary art.
Continuing to bridge his artistic passions with business savvy, Louis pursued international business studies, with a focus on digital marketing and corporate finance, at Tughai University in Taiwan. This multidisciplinary approach culminated in a Masterâs in Art Business at the prestigious Sothebyâs Institute of Art in London. His dissertation on cross-collecting reflects a unique approach to art - collecting based on art history, personal identity, and intuition, resonating with Clement Greenberg's philosophy.
Louis's professional path led him to Lempertz, a family-owned auction house with deep roots in the art world, where he specialized in Modern and Contemporary Art. In 2022, he embarked on a new journey, focusing on project-based work like Triangle Knokke and offering his expertise as an art consultant to galleries and online auction houses.
His recent role as a sales director at Nosbaum Reding gallery in Brussels further illustrates his ability to connect artists with the market, as seen in his introduction of Vincent Geyskens to the Flemish art scene. Despite leaving before the 'Par Contre' exhibition launch, Louis continues to push the boundaries of art and business.
The 2024 relaunch of louisbuysse.com marks a new chapter in Louis's career, one focused on increasing market visibility and pioneering new projects. His dedication to blending artistic creativity with business insight shines through his work, as he continues to inspire and transform the art world.
