Inspirations

Even though many works have guided our artistic reflection, we chose to focus on 2 works which are representative of our main lines:

R. Magritte (1898-1967), La trahison des images (1929)

Magritte, the Surrealist Belgian artist displays through his work the duality of image, between truth and decoy. His art also embodies a real legacy for advertising of the 20th century.

Vanity, through a Pieter Claesz’s (1596-1661) painting (1630)

By frankly evoking leak of time, the ephemeral hallmark of life and the place of Humanity in the universe, Vanity fit directly in our efforts to define life.

(source of inspiration for the ethical part, the problematic of living thing’s definition has been mentioned within the team and during different meetings such as « curiositas ».)
