GENERAL INFORMATION
Original art is a unique and one-of-a-kind creation made by an artist, rather than a reproduction or mass-produced piece.
It showcases the unique vision, technique, and craftsmanship of the artist, often holding greater value due to its authenticity and uniqueness.
An original work of art may be inspired by another piece in terms of theme, style or technique but should never be a copy or an exact replica of that work.
It can often refer to the first iteration or version of a work of art.
Buying original art transforms a space—it’s a style statement and a great conversation starter. It adds uniqueness and personality to your walls, making them a true reflection of you.
Original art holds both emotional and financial value, often becoming cherished investments that can appreciate over time.
Each piece carries the unique vision, story, and craftsmanship of an artist, making it far more meaningful than mass-produced decor.
By investing in original art, you not only elevate your space but also support artists and their creativity.
Best of all, it’s one of one—no one else in the world owns the exact same piece.
A ‘Pièce Unique’, your ‘Pièce Unique’.
