MEET THE FOUNDER

I believe that a truly resonant collection begins with the way an artist sees the world.
My journey through the art world has taken many forms: painter, gallerist, curator, and advisor. Each role has deepened my understanding of both the creative process and the structures that sustain it. At heart, I am, and always will be, an artist, a first love that has honed my eye for what makes an artwork not just seen, but truly felt.
Studio Veive is the culmination of this dual perspective. It is a practice grounded in creative insight, market sobriety, and discreet service. Over the years, I have built my expertise at the intersection of art and industry, championing living artists, curating exhibitions, and designing encounters that move beyond the surface of the gallery wall.
I founded Studio Veive to bridge the gap between the studio and the collector. Whether navigating the Paris scene for the first time or refining a long-term portfolio, I provide the private access and thoughtful introductions required to reveal the true pulse of the contemporary landscape.
Let’s begin a conversation about the art that moves you.

BOOK AN INITIAL CONSULTATION

  • As an overseas collector, I needed someone on the ground in Paris who actually knows the gallery directors and the artists behind the work. Studio Veive didn't just find us a piece; they gave us a 'first-look' at a series before it even reached the fair floor. Their ability to navigate the Marais art scene is a competitive advantage for any portfolio.
