About
Raphael is a french collector, born in 1989, living in Paris that has begun actively collecting art in early 2016. He has “always been obsessed” by the concept of collecting, from Pokémon cards to sneakers.
Owning around 150 artworks, the Paris-based art collector actively shares his latest art acquisitions and stylish home interiors on his Instagram profile.
After a 10-year career in finance and asset management, Raphael decided to fully focus on art and put his passion in the driver’s seat.
Working closely with galleries and designers, Raphael also does curation, secondary deals, and artist introduction to galleries. Raphael is always open for business, contact him here.
Raphael has curated a few shows, and has introduced 3 artists to ALMINE RECH gallery including Mehdi Ghadyanloo, Tomokazu Matsuyama and more recently the Balinese artist Sylvia Ong.
His relationship with many interior designors has helped him to understand how art and furniture match together to fill a space. Obsessed with the combination of medias, textures and colours, he has recently built a new appartment focused around the collection with the precious help of the famous AD100 architect Sophie Dries.
Obsessed with distorted faces, figurative represents 90% of Raphael’s collection.
Raphael’s obession is always meeting new people, « ART cannot be disconnected from the associated human beings », nothing is feasible without people.
Representative of the social-media-savvy next-generation art collectors, he shares a lot with the press.
