I love very simple and neutral furniture with a pop of colour in my space. My selection are a variety of pieces from different galleries that stir up emotion and create a profound impact on the home it would occupy. Art is subjective - but I like mine full of colour, complex yet simple.
Damien Hirst
Veil of Dreaming
2017
Oil on canvas
305 x 244 cm | 120 1/16 x 96 1/16 in.
Presented by White Cube
I love the colour and happiness captured in this piece and the distinction created by the dots throughout. I could sit on a couch and look at this piece for eternity.
James Turrell
Incantation, 2022
Glass, computerized LED, aluminum, corian
97.6" x 61.65" x 14.17" (247.9 cm x 156.6 cm x 36 cm)
Price on Application
Presented by OMR Gallery in collaboration with Häusler Contemporary, Zurich
Always inspired and energised by light and colour, I find James Turrell to be a genius who synthesizes complexity into simplicity. My most favourite installation of his is the one at the Amanzoe - where you are immersed into an amazing space.
Lucio Fontana,
Concetto Spaziale, Attese (Spatial Concept, Waiting), 1960
Presented by Robilant + Voena
Again, this is such a simple idea but the imagery has become so strongly recognisable and is in Fontana’s DNA. The colour variety and slashes make Fontana easily recognisable and amazing.
Joel Shapiro
untitled, 2021
wood and oil paint
28.86" x 19.25" x 24.25" (73.3 cm x 48.9 cm x 61.6 cm)
Presented by Pace
I buy art for a home, so most of the time I love colour and structural objects that bring life into a space and are unique.
Rita Ackermann
Mama, Traumas and Miracles, 2022
Oil and acrylic on canvas
77" x 66" (195.6 cm x 167.6 cm)

Presented by Hauser & Wirth.
I love the complexity, rage, and calmness captured in this piece through the colour, strokes and composition.
