Why Collectors Choose Sol
Sol Gallery is Guanacaste’s first and largest high-end contemporary art gallery — founded conveniently just outside of Tamarindo in December 2024, and built from the belief that exceptional art belongs in every home and budget.
Led by curator, artist, and interior designer Alex Starre, Sol represents a carefully selected roster of Costa Rican and local artists. We offer a level of service rarely found outside major art capitals, all guided by over 20 years of design expertise.
IN-HOME designer consultation
Alex visits your space, reads the room, and builds a curated recommendation around how you live. Free, no obligation.

Meet Your Curator
Every home has a story. Every artwork, a heartbeat. At Sol Gallery, Alex Starre is here to help those meet.
As co-owner, curator, artist, and interior designer with over 20 years of experience, Alex is well known as the heart of Sol — not just because she sparked its creation, but because she nurtures every connection, from artist to collector and beyond.
She listens, looks, and learns about how you live so she can guide you toward pieces that feel right in your space and in your life.
At Sol, we are more than a gallery. We are a partner in building a home that genuinely reflects who you are.
In The Window
Two stories of glass facing one of the busiest stretches of the Gold Coast. Original art, visible from the road, rotating with every new curation. Some people come in because they were already on their way. Others stop because something in the window caught them mid-stride.
Take a peek at what is in the window right now — a glimpse of what Sol Gallery has on view. But a glimpse is just the beginning. The full collection, the conversations, and the pieces you did not know you were looking for are all waiting on the other side of the open door.
current, upcoming & Past events at sol gallery
Sol Gallery is where art meets the community that surrounds it. Every exhibition and event is built on the same belief: that art is meant to move, surprise, and connect — not sit quietly behind glass in a room people are afraid to enter.
From more intimate shows to full-scale evenings with live music, live painting, dance, and performances — Sol Gallery creates experiences that stay with you. Come for the art. Stay for everything else.
What collectors & ARTISTS say about SoL
Let the right piece find you
Alex Starre has spent over 20 years placing art in homes as an interior designer. She knows how a piece interacts with light, scale, and the life being lived in a space.
When you book an in-home consultation, Alex visits, listens to your story, and builds a curated selection with digital mockups before anything is committed. No pressure. No guesswork. Just the right art for your space and your budget.
Whether you are designing from the ground up, completing a dream build, or looking to elevate an existing space — we are here to guide the process.
Rooted in Guanacaste
We believe art thrives when communities thrive. Sol Gallery proudly supports local organizations like CEPIA, The Clean Wave, and APAMI — helping bring light to and fund programs that enrich, educate, and sustain the Guanacaste coast we all call home.
When you choose art from Sol, you are investing not only in your space, but in the community around it.
Look out for these organizations at the next Sol event.
