OUR PHILOSOPHY

A New Vision of Contemporary Collecting

ROBINEAU ART curates at the intersection of tradition and technology, creating exhibitions that resonate with the spirit of our time. The foundation of the gallery’s curatorial practice is the belief that art must evolve in dialogue with the world around it. While remaining anchored in the canons of art history, we respond to the ways people today live, interact, and experience culture.

The new space is a friendly, unconventional environment, deliberately conceived apart from the classical “white cube” concept. At its center is an impressive five-meter-high atrium. The rooms include areas with smart glass (electrochromic technology), which can instantly transform the atmosphere and lighting.

Beyond exhibitions, the space is envisioned as a dynamic cultural hub: it will host artist talks, performances, and educational programs for collectors. At the heart of the project is an exclusive Collectors’ Club with limited membership and a wide range of privileges, including white-glove delivery, artist studio visits, educational initiatives, and tailored services designed for the most engaged collectors.

“Our foundation lies not in tradition, but in a broader cultural and lifestyle context,” note founders and curators Patrick and Valentina Robineau. “For us, curation is an act of translation creating relevance across different social contexts. Technology does not play a secondary role, but a central one in how art is experienced and communicated today.”

With this concept, ROBINEAU ART positions itself as an innovative platform for the present and future of collecting.

Our approach to curation is deeply rooted in a commitment to artistic excellence, authenticity, and vision.

We seek out artists whose work pushes boundaries, engages in meaningful dialogue, and holds a timeless presence within the ever-evolving landscape of contemporary art.

We look beyond trends, focusing on artists with conceptual depth, and a distinctive visual language that resonates across time.

Each artist we present is chosen with care; whether they are established names with institutional recognition or rising talents whose work demands attention. We engage with their practice, their philosophy, and their evolution, ensuring that every piece finds its place in the right home of a discerning collector.

Complemented by - Robineau Art Education, we are also committed in shaping emerging voices of the future.
