Why Original Contemporary Art Is Becoming the Ultimate Luxury for Modern Interiors
In a world filled with mass production and predictable design, more collectors and interior design enthusiasts are turning toward original contemporary art to create spaces with personality, emotion, and authenticity.
A carefully selected painting can completely transform an environment, adding depth, energy, and a strong visual identity that no manufactured decoration can replicate.
Today, art is no longer reserved for galleries or elite collections. More people are discovering the value of investing in unique paintings, whether for a private home, a creative workspace or a sophisticated commercial interior.

Lille, France, 2026
As Thick as Thieves is an acrylic painting that immerses the viewer in a vibrant, bustling world where characters seem to emerge spontaneously from an intricate network of lines, curves, and bold colours. True to Éric Bourdon’s intuitive approach, the work blurs the boundary between abstraction and figuration: each glance reveals new faces, silhouettes, and imaginary creatures, all appearing to interact in a lively visual dialogue.

The Basque Beret

In an unlikely corner of the universe, between a clock that melts with a sigh and a philosophical camemvert (vegan camembert), sits the painting entitled The Basque Beret. At first glance, it’s a beret. At second glance, it’s still a beret. But at third glance, the one you get after blinking very hard or eating a slightly suspicious madeleine, the beret starts to look at you.
Yes, because this beret is not just a simple head covering. It is an individual. A being. A padded entity with a rich inner life and a slight penchant for flamenco, which is already strange for an object supposed to be Basque.

Discrimination against painters at SNCF ?
🐦 Published on 2026-03-11 | 💬 Comment

The scientific community is in an uproar !… The new SNCF (French National Railway Company) baggage policy allows one large piece of “special luggage” (90 x 130 x 50 cm) per passenger on TGV INOUI trains. A musical instrument can be transported in this item of luggage, but paintings are prohibited.
Is a suitcase of the same dimensions really more bulky when it contains a painter’s latest work rather than a synthesizer ?… Are the external dimensions greater depending on the contents of the baggage or the traveler’s sensibility ?… Will this hidden content, if it’s pictorial rather than musical, lengthen the train journey ?… Do the theories of quantum physics and general relativity need to be completed ?…
Or has the SNCF suddenly veered down the path of discrimination ?

Lille, France, 2025
With his acrylic painting on canvas entitled “The Incredible Lightness of Being,” the painter Eric Bourdon addresses the problem of being by focusing on its pictorial manifestation, which is as light as it is incredible.
If the question of being doesn’t seem to be at the heart of pictorial art, it’s not due to any disinterest, but rather, on the contrary, for a very specific reason that can be summarized as follows : the incredibly light problem of manifestation is nevertheless deeper, more fundamental, more primal than the problem of being…
