For several years, Mirabaud has been actively involved to promote the avant-garde arts, notably through Mirabaud Art Collection.
This commitment reflects our desire to foster dialogue and exchange, and the passion that forms the essence of our identity.
Our Art as Legacy series invites you behind the scenes with artists—most of whom represented in the Mirabaud Art Collection—offering a glimpse into their creative journeys.
Each episode opens a window into an artist’s practice, revealing their world and illustrating how creativity endures beyond the present moment.
This series celebrates the passion, imagination that fuel artistic creation and the many ways that art leaves a mark for generations.
John Armleder
With John Armleder a room is never just a room.
This Swiss artist, member of the Mirabaud Art Collection, playfully brings together painting, sculpture, design and performance, creating situations where everyday objects meet abstract forms.
Close to the spirit of Fluxus, his work blurs the boundaries between artwork and décor and invites us to rethink how art occupies space – and how we move within it.
Lorenza Longhi
Italian artist Lorenza Longhi, based in Zürich, zooms in on the objects, logos and materials that populate our everyday lives.
Through installations, sculptures and altered functional objects, she reworks the language of design and consumer culture.
Her practice moves between critique and fascination, encouraging us to pause and reconsider the visual codes and branding that quietly shape our habits and desires.
Françoise Pétrovitch
Françoise Pétrovitch, member of the Mirabaud Art Collection, creates a world inhabited by figures and animals caught in moments of change.
Working across drawing, painting, sculpture and video, the artist develops a fluid, distinctive visual language where tenderness and unease often coexist.
Her scenes feel quietly charged, opening a space where emotions and identities remain in motion – and where vulnerability becomes a powerful way to reflect on the traces we leave behind.
Not Vital
For Not Vital, sculpture, architecture and landscape are inseparable.
This artist, member of the Mirabaud Art Collection, works across sculpture, drawing, painting and prints, creating poetic forms shaped by his global journeys and his roots in the Engadin.
Often described as “Scarch” (sculpture + architecture), his projects blur the line between artwork and habitat, exploring how materials, places and cultures influence the way we experience space, nature and memory.
