Since its foundation in 2015, Fondation Valmont, nestled in the intimate Palazzo Bonvicini in Venice, cradle of the Storie Veneziane perfumes, has established itself as a disruptive force in contemporary art. Didier Guillon, its founder, envisioned this space as a sanctuary for art in all its forms. A cocoon where artists can express themselves freely, where visitors are invited to immerse themselves in a world of emotions and beauty. Its mission? To promote contemporary art, foster intercultural dialogues, and challenge artistic conventions. This vision is now perpetuated by Maxence Guillon, who has been ensuring the continuity of this family mission alongside his father since 2022. But Fondation Valmont does not merely exhibit artworks; it creates unique artistic moments. Through travelling exhibitions like the ones exhibiting Didier Guillon’s iconic Ivo, and shows in Venice such as EGO<\/i>, it defies traditional artistic circuits. More than 300 artworks have been presented, and more than thirty artists have collaborated with Fondation Valmont, bringing diversity and richness to the contemporary art scene. Journeys like these invite visitors to discover new perspectives and allow themselves to be moved.<\/p>

If Fondation Valmont were a painting, it would probably be a canvas in perpetual evolution, capturing the essence of art and beauty in a play of perspectives oriented towards the future. It would invite you to rethink your relationship with art and nature, to appreciate each moment, and to find well-being in simplicity and authenticity. From this living fresco, you will discover a haven where every detail matters, a call to feel at home. A world nourished by dreams and desires, offering a glimpse of… an enchanting future.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Maxence started his career as a volunteer. After an experience in Asia, then another in Africa, he continued his studies in the footsteps of his father in the legal field.<\/p>

In January 2022, Maxence Guillon officially became the new President of Fondation Valmont, succeeding his father, Didier Guillon. After completing his law studies, Maxence pursued a Master\u2019s Degree in Business Management in Madrid. His passion for exploration and human connection led him to participate in humanitarian missions, including work with the WWF in Thailand and Raleigh in Tanzania.<\/span><\/span><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Like his father, Maxence was immersed in the art world from a young age, developing his instincts and refining his artistic vision over the years. This father-son dynamic has evolved into a rich intergenerational exchange, where they complement and challenge each other in discovering new artists and envisioning the future. With Maxence\u2019s background and keen interest in digital innovation, he is well-positioned to steer Fondation Valmont toward new opportunities, addressing challenges such as the digitization of art and expanding its accessibility.<\/span><\/span><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
The bond between Maxence and Didier is one of profound respect and shared passion. As the founder of Fondation Valmont, Didier has been a guiding influence, shaping Maxence\u2019s values and fostering his deep appreciation for the arts. Their collaboration on exhibitions such as Ulysses. We are all Heroes<\/em> (2024) and Telemachus. The Quest for Self<\/em> (2025) reflects their shared creative vision and the strength of their partnership.<\/span><\/span><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
At the heart of their relationship lies a strong sense of family. Didier has always emphasized principles of integrity, respect, and generosity\u2014values that Maxence embodies both personally and professionally. Together, they represent the essence of a father-son bond built on shared ideals, artistic passion, and mutual support.<\/span><\/span><\/div>
Maxence and Didier launched the D&M Art Fund, an initiative to support emerging artists and make art more accessible. This new endeavor ensures that Fondation Valmont continues to evolve, offering a platform for constant artistic renewal.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Fondation Valmont has a very precise mission: promoting art in all its forms<\/strong>, in accordance with the values and opportunities offered by Valmont \u2013 its parent company: quality, aesthetics, generosity and sustainability.<\/p>

Valmont Chairman Didier Guillon<\/strong> has always refused to remain trapped in the universe of cosmetics alone, and has therefore built bridges with the artistic sector, giving birth to the motto: When Art meets Beauty. Guillon\u2019s efforts were crowned<\/strong> with success in 2015, when the rich depth and scope of the projects led to the birth of Fondation Valmont.<\/p>

In 2019, this international institution made Venice its permanent home, in a Renaissance palace with delicate rococo decorations: Palazzo Bonvicini<\/strong>, also known as The Intimate Museum<\/strong>.<\/p>

Alongside the international art events that take place in Venice, Fondation Valmont offers a rich programme of travelling exhibitions presented worldwide at the stores La Maison Valmont<\/strong><\/a>, and in other key-locations from Hydra to New York.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Fondation Valmont \u2013 Didier has built up a collection that can be seen by clients of La Maison Valmont as well as friends within.
