Our Collective
Karrenbelt Collective connects art, estate, and purpose. We believe that legacy is built through creation by shaping ideas, places, and partnerships that last beyond a single lifetime.
A personal connection.
A shared ambition.
From our base in the Netherlands, we develop ventures shaped by our connection with Colombia and contemporary Latin American art.

Where photography meets art.
Our visual compositions express the connections at the heart of Karrenbelt Collective: places, entrepreneurship and contemporary Latin American art. They combine photography with elements from paintings by Ignacio Poblet and are digitally composed and partly AI-assisted. These website montages are separate from the original paintings and do not depict artworks physically present at the photographed locations.
It began with
our own investment plans.
We wanted to invest in Colombia, but struggled to find clear, accessible information. We began recording what we learned in a blog: Vastgoed in Colombia.
As the blog grew, readers became clients. They asked for help with inheritance matters, buying homes and listing properties in Colombia. Those practical requests became the starting point for Vastico.
Today, Karrenbelt Collective brings these property ventures together with the contemporary art of Studio Ignacio Poblet.
Entrepreneurship.
Artistic vision.
Marcel Karrenbelt develops the property ventures. Ignacio Poblet brings the artistic work and creative vision.
Marcel Karrenbelt
Marcel develops Vastgoed in Colombia and Vastico, focusing on useful information, platform development and commercial relationships. His work connects the questions of readers and clients with the next stage of each venture.
Ignacio Poblet
Ignacio’s paintings bring biodiversity, symbolism and emotion into the Collective. Through his studio, original work and fine-art prints reach people interested in contemporary Latin American art.
From understanding
to a considered next step.
Each venture serves a different need. Our work is to make the route between information, people and opportunities easier to understand.
We develop platform features and professional relationships in stages, with scope and responsibilities agreed as the work progresses.
