Welcome to the poetic universe of Guillaume Bottazzi

Biography

Guillaume Bottazzi is an internationally renowned French visual artist, known for his site-specific permanent installations that redefine the relationship between art, the environment and human perception: art, cognitive neuroscience, social psychology, architecture and design. Born in 1971, he has been working for over 33 years, notably in Europe, Asia and the United States. He has had his studio in Brussels since 2012. Recognised as a pioneer in the application of the neuroaesthetics movement, he has created over 180 artworks for public spaces. He has received private and public commissions from museums such as the Mori Art Museum, the Miyanomori International Art Museum, the Suntory Museum of Art, the Tokyo National Art Center and the Tokyo Metropolitan Foundation of History and Culture; from cities and public institutions, such as Tokyo, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, Paris La Défense, Nice and Brussels; from ministries such as the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Health; from investors such as Sofitel, Mori Building Co. Ltd, BNP Paribas, Société Générale, Nexity; or even collectors who own properties that enable them to create a heritage work, as in Antwerp, on a replica of the ‘Katsura Imperial Villa’. Guillaume Bottazzi has set up his own House of Creation, similar to a House of Haute Couture. The designer collaborates with teams of fitters, craftsmen, glassmakers, electricians and technicians whose reputation for excellence is second to none. His heritage works have met great success. In particular, they are sold to many listed companies and renowned architects. They modify our environment to promote our mental well-being.
Guillaume Bottazzi is a pioneer in applied neuroaesthetics, and his public artworks redefine urban landscapes and promote mental balance and collective well-being. His works are displayed in public spaces, in healthcare facilities and museums, as well as in work environments and communal living spaces. In 2024, he created a 150 m² polyptych in Paris La Défense, labeled by Paris 2024 for the Cultural Olympiad. His immersive, sensorial compositions redefine urban landscapes while nurturing mental balance and collective well‑being.
