About us
Founded in 2024, R2OT was born from a simple yet profound desire: to create a space that reflects who we are.
A living, welcoming place where questions can be asked freely, without judgment, and where everyone truly feels at home.
A place to visit, to return to, to linger in, even as the world around us rushes by.
Our mission is to showcase artworks and talents that deserve to be seen, loved, and shared. We want to open a market long considered elitist and share it with you, inviting you to encounter creations that awaken a unique sensitivity within each of us – sometimes familiar, sometimes unexpected – while preserving the beauty and prestige of art.
Art is within everyone’s reach. Our role? To guide you to the pieces that speak to you – works that will make your home feel even more personal, because they reflect you.
R2OT is also a commitment: to support artistic creation and give it the essential place it deserves in our lives.
Art and artists must endure over time; together, we hope to contribute to this legacy and help keep these unique traditions alive.
Whether you’re a seasoned collector, a passionate newcomer, or simply curious, you’re welcome.
Our Story
It all began when we met at Icart, the renowned school of cultural and artistic management.
Over the years, an idea took shape : to discover and promote emerging artists while making art more accessible. This vision led to the creation of R2OT in 2024.
We’ve designed our space as a private, appointment-only showroom, where you can feel like stepping into a beautifully curated home - warm, inviting, and inspiring. This setting not only creates a welcoming atmosphere but also helps you envision each piece in your own space.
We started this project out of a shared passion for art. What drives us to continue is you - meeting you, understanding your vision, and helping you find the perfect artwork, one that reflects you and your taste.
From the beginning, we set out to create a gallery that truly represents us and our values. Our promise remains the same : to stay true to ourselves and to keep sharing our most meaningful discoveries with honesty and conviction.
