When art becomes a better way to invest than real estate

It is well known that real estate was once considered one of the best ways to invest your money. However, in recent years, art has become increasingly popular with investors. What explains this enthusiasm for art? Why are more and more people considering art a better way to invest than real estate? This is what we will explore in this article.

Why is art a good investment?

First of all, art is an alternative form of investment. This means that it is an option that does not depend on traditional financial markets. Art does not follow the same trends as the stock market or bonds, making it less risky. Additionally, art is rare and unique, making it more valuable over time.

Art versus real estate

Art and real estate: mutual enhancement

Art can also enhance real estate by giving it a history or a soul. This is the case, for example, of the Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris. This building, designed by architect Frank Gehry, houses a collection of modern and contemporary art belonging to Bernard Arnault, boss of the LVMH group. The Louis Vuitton Foundation has become an emblematic place for contemporary art, but it has also become a symbol of architectural innovation.

Art can also help sell real estate by making it more attractive. Real estate developers often use artwork to decorate the common areas of their buildings, to make them more warm and welcoming. Artwork can also be used to decorate show apartments, to give an idea of ​​the ambiance and lifestyle that future owners will find there.

Contemporary figurative painting

The uniqueness of this art form lies in its ability to tell stories through images. Contemporary narrative paintings are often composed of several elements, which together tell a story or evoke an emotion. Characters, objects and colors are carefully chosen to create an atmosphere and ambiance conducive to storytelling.

Along the way

“If it could be put into words, there would be no reason to paint.” Edward Hopper

Sometimes it is so difficult to look at your own work, to find the words that can replace the images or just talk about it in all simplicity. Edward Hopper's phrase often resonates with me... but the words complement many works wonderfully. I have long written a few lines to accompany the presentation of my works, both to provide context and both to describe my initial emotion. I had the chance to meet Andréas ALBERTI some time ago, whose work I particularly appreciated in portraiture on an artist I didn't know.

Fingerprints

My work as an artist is based on the figurative style and therefore often refers to an approach of sketching, sketches, preparatory work or drafting as some would say. This step allows you to immerse yourself in an idea or an experienced scene to enrich it and give it a unique dimension through the framing, its support or the emotion it generates. Recently, the direction of my work has taken into account the anecdotal dimension of disorder, that which creates in its own way additional daily tasks and which...

Portrait of an artist

“Art is what makes life more interesting than art. » Robert Filliou

Art is not an end in itself. It is an engine of life, a catalyst of emotions and a wonderful means of expression. Alain Rouschmeyer's message is clear. These paintings are slices of life, gourmet approaches to everyday life that he manages to “crunch” with relish. Genre scenes, life scenes, landscapes, nudes, the artist does not close any doors. Technical mastery, rendering of materials, precision of line and the search for an aesthetic of bodies, shapes and colors is at the heart of his artistic approach. Rigor and sharp perception are abilities developed in particular by his initial training as an architect. The artist's talent is also expressed by his ability to tell us...

The hot sand

We took our leave late in the summer of 2018 and crossed France diagonally to discover a fine sand beach on the Quiberon peninsula. We were there for a week and determined to rest as much as possible. We quickly spotted a beach that suited us perfectly both for the view it offered and for its remote and uncrowded appearance during this off-season period. This extensive area of ​​fine sand had a rather unique built environment typical of the region. Faced with this landscape and this proximity of individual houses which bordered this strip of coastline, the sketchbook did not…

Sad and angry

I have just learned of the cancellation of an upcoming collective exhibition which was planned for September 2021 at the Casino d'Aix les Bains with a postponement to May 2022. An exhibition in which I participated for the second time with an immense pleasure.

A few weeks ago I learned that the health pass would be compulsory. This news, although upsetting, allowed me to wonder about the…
