The First Steps of L’Original (2018-2019) :

A Citizen Project Taking Shape

L'Original beginnings

Birth of a Creative Community

L’Original began in 2018 with a small team of 15 artists and 5 dedicated volunteers.

Organizing collections of clothing, furniture and paintings planned for disposal, transforming the recovered materials into new works of art.

Creation of visual art and upcycling workshops held weekly, allowing the public to learn and express themselves artistically through environmentally friendly techniques.

A space for poetic dialogue and expression

Under the leadership of Dorian Verdier, an 18-year-old student in economics and marketing at HEC Montréal, L’Original structured itself from the very beginning with a strong social foundation. With the support of Jason Prince from PME Montréal and the mentorship of Robert Dutton, director of the entrepreneurial hub at HEC Montréal, L’Original gained essential guidance for its growth.

Artur and L’Original, private enterprise and Non-Profit Organization: Two Distinct but Complementary Missions

Two paths, one shared commitment to art and community

Objective

Why a private enterprise?

Impact

By choosing the private company model, Artur is responding to an ambition for rapid growth and technological development to make art accessible on a global scale. The business structure enables Artur to invest continuously in innovations and services powered by artificial intelligence, designed to enrich the user experience and extend the reach of art to as many people as possible.

Access to private funding and the resources of the technology market has enabled Artur to expand rapidly, offering unique creative tools that can be accessed from anywhere in the world. This model offers the agility essential to adapting to the growing needs of a public in search of artistic co-creation and personalization.

Greater accessibility thanks to AI innovations :

By operating as a private company, Artur can reduce the costs of distributing art, particularly online, and offer artists new platforms for visibility without the constraints of a physical gallery. Artur’s mission is to democratize the arts through economic accessibility, making artworks more affordable and giving artists greater independence.

Artur and L'Original embody two complementary approaches to the democratization of art:

By operating as a private company, Artur can reduce the costs of distributing art, particularly online, and offer artists new platforms for visibility without the constraints of a physical gallery. Artur’s mission is to democratize the arts through economic accessibility, making artworks more affordable and giving artists greater independence.

Artur exploits technological advancements for large-scale dissemination and accessibility, while L'Original focuses on human connection, sustainability, and local creation. By combining Artur's agility with L'Original's community impact, these two entities are building a world where art becomes both a collective good and an accessible field of innovation. Artur thus takes flight as a separate entity starting in 2020.

An Inevitable Encounter

A Delicate Balance

Today’s rapidly evolving technologies place artificial intelligence (AI) at the heart of the artistic creation process, raising both new opportunities and fundamental questions. For artists, AI is both a source of inspiration and an unpredictable competitor, capable of creating works in a matter of seconds, where years of learning and experience were once required. This duality questions the very identity of art and its methods of production.

By positioning itself as a creative actor, AI redefines the limits of art, but at the cost of a palpable tension between authenticity and automation.

The fundamental question then remains: can art created by algorithms bear the human imprint, or does it remain a prisoner of its automated logic? Art and AI
Artur Landscape Art Example

The Power of Landscapes and Portraits

Imagine a beautiful landscape capturing the beauty of the sea and sky, or a touching portrait of your loyal dog. Each piece is more than just a painting, it's a piece of your story, told through art. Our artists can transform memorable photos into portraits, capturing precise moments and sincere emotions.

Artistic Engagement for Social and Cultural Impact Educational and Cultural Impact

Artur.art does not simply sell works of art, it educates and raises awareness about the value of art. Each interaction with the platform is an opportunity to learn and develop a deeper appreciation of art.

Become an Artist

Artur.art embodies the vision of democratizing art where every citizen has the opportunity to become a creative actor. By facilitating co-creation and reducing economic barriers, Artur.art transforms the way we interact with art and support artists. Join us in this adventure to make art an accessible, inclusive and participatory experience for all.

Democratizing Art Through Economic AccessibilityThe economic democratization of art involves making artistic creation tools accessible to all socio-economic classes. This can be achieved by providing equal access to online tools and platforms, ensuring that everyone can participate in the artistic creation process. By presenting engaging and well-structured information about artistic opportunities, platforms can serve as cultural relays that connect citizens to various co-creation initiatives.Reducing the Impact of Standardization in Digital ArtThe integration of AI art tools and automated printing systems has significantly lowered the cost of producing unique artworks. However, this reduction in cost and time can also lead to the standardization of art, where personalization is lost. To prevent this, it is crucial to redirect the capital generated by AI-assisted processes towards enhancing human creativity. Initiatives such as DIY artistic projects, which have shown to produce a high state of flow and engagement, can foster a deeper connection between the artist and the audience.

Art and Personality

Art and Personality for Personalized Democratization

Each person will experience their first encounter with an artwork differently depending on their psychology. Isabel Briggs Myers and her mother, Katharine Cook Briggs, developed the MBTI (Myers Briggs, 1921), based on the theories of Carl Gustav Jung on psychological types, used to evaluate and categorize individual psychological preferences according to different dimensions. We can look at this segmentation to try to understand how personality types may influence our aesthetic preferences, and thus open different paths of appreciation for art based on one's psychological profile. The MBTI as an analytical unit is controversial. Personally, I believe it is an interesting entry point to view and interpret the various relationships between art and the psychology of the individual.

Individuals with a preference for Sensation (S) tend to appreciate art that features concrete details, textures, and tangible visual elements. These artworks, often rich in precision and meticulousness, capture their attention through the clarity of the elements that compose them. In contrast, those with a preference for Intuition (N) are generally drawn to abstract, conceptual, or symbolic art. These works, less focused on concrete details, invite broader interpretations and reflection, stimulating imagination and creative thinking.
