The idea of creating the gallery came from something very simple: a desire to reconnect with art and dialogues with artists – something that has always made me feel good. After returning to the corporate environment, I felt a certain nostalgia. I wanted to resume this direct contact with the artistic universe, but without neglecting design and the work we do here.

Beyond the personal reconnection, there is a real desire to integrate art and the market. This has happened in the past, when artists created commercial and corporate projects naturally. Why not allow these two dimensions to coexist again?

The gallery also perfectly aligns with the house model we build at Sapien. Just as you want a painting in your living room that makes you feel good, a gallery within the house brings life to the space, humanizes it, and warms it up. Here we have many walls, many paintings, and this aesthetic presence changes the atmosphere.

The gallery's proposal is this: to create connections with what makes you feel good. It could be a dog, coffee being brewed, the smell of freshly ground coffee. It could be a print of... ukyo-e Or a painting of a seagull. It's that communion with something that another person created and that, in some way, touches you.

Galeria Sapien is exactly that. A space to bring artists closer to the things we like to see, experience, and consume. A space for art to engage in dialogue with brands that also believe in sensitivity as part of the process – like Natura, for example.

In our home, everything coexists: the painting, the perfume, the coffee, the conversation. The gallery is just another way to continue inhabiting the world with intention.
