Backlit artworks

Artwoks that contribute to a sense of well-being
In the design of his backlit arworks, Guillaume Bottazzi refers to a scientific study based on his own work. Neuroscientists Helmut Leder and Marcos Nadal from the University of Vienna have proved that Guillaume Bottazzi’s curves activate the pleasure zones and reduce the viewer’s anxiety. These backlit works are unique and designed to suit the space in which they are installed.

‘Guillaume Bottazzi and the art of happiness.
