How it all began
The story of how my company came about is somewhat unusual, starting in a bank in Germany and ending with an art agency in France. But I am confident that it will bring me closer to you, dear reader. Because for me, art is one thing above all: deeply personal.
After almost 15 years at the bank in Frankfurt, I felt unfulfilled. I felt the desire to do something new, for my next challenge, but didn't know exactly what it should be. As a relationship and branch manager, I was passionate about my job, but it didn't completely fulfil me and something was missing. During my time at the bank, I sold financial products and mortgage loans, for example. Although my everyday life revolved around numbers, I appreciated the emotional aspect and the personal connection with people .
The joy of a new home and the opportunity to participate in and realise the dream of owning one was eye-opening. I realised that tangible products that brought people joy also fulfilled me. I empathised with my customers, I was part of their happiness.
That made one thing clear:
I wanted to sell products that made people happy. In 2016, I moved to Paris to live with my French husband and took a sabbatical from the world of banking with the aim of immersing myself in the world of start-ups. The culture appealed to me: a friendly, relaxed environment where you have fun and are passionate about what you do. I found a job at a start-up that specialised in buying art online, and in no time at all I realised that art is what fulfils me.
Now, in 2024, I have fulfilled my heart's desire to become self-employed with my very own agency.
Dear reader, thank you for your time and attention in getting to know me and my agency a little better. I hope you will discover an artist whose work fascinates you, moves you and, in the best sense of the word, never leaves you. I look forward to hearing from you and to getting to know you soon.
