A mansion surrounded by greenery and art [Life with Art Vol.1 Tier Baza]

　Fallest Soevnes (Sowanyu Forest) in southern Brussels is a beautiful forest that has a vast site of about 4000 hectares and is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

In the Watermar -Bowl -Fall district where Tierry Butemi lives with his family, 60 % of them are adjacent to the forest, and the rich nature and urban life coexist.

The house, which is located in a quiet residential area, is a decorative style called "Travis Kote" built in 1880.

It is noteworthy that it is a wonderful scenery from the window, living, dining, kitchen, bedrooms, children's rooms, guest rooms, and all the homes, only green trees, and were invited to a deep forest.It is wrapped in a fantastic and comfortable feeling.

Tierry is a popular florist, working on flower decoration of Sofia Coppola's movie "Marie Antoinette" and decorating flowers at the top -notch maison show venue.Living with nature that feels close to flowers, trees, animals, sunlight, rain, and wind is an indispensable factor for his lifestyle.

I liked to cultivate soil and grow flowers since I was a child, so I inevitably go on the path of gardening.At the same time, his hometown Normandy Le Mont -Saint -Michel was inspired by his interest in history, and he was immersed in the excavation and gathering of fossils at his childhood.It was also strongly drawn.

Thus, the passion of "Nature and Ancient Myth", which has been cultivated since childhood, is deeply connected to the root of Tierry's art collection.

The interior at home is laid out, mainly in the 18th century Gustavian style, and warm furniture of natural materials such as wood and cotton.In the room full of natural light, with elegant and classic furniture, art such as paintings, sculptures, and pottery adds rhythmical colors.

A salon with paintings from Romanian twin artists, Gert & Uve Tobias, is a particularly favorite space.

It is an impressive work with the theme of the history of Romania, their homeland, and the profile of women.Even though they were brothers, they were interested in the style of two works with completely different individuality.I liked the composition, color, strange, everything, and I got it five years ago at Rodolf Yanssen Gallery in Brussels.

When choosing art, it starts with being interested in the writer.It is the usual way to like the creator and then delve into their works thoroughly afterwards.Meeting with art is a once -in -a -lifetime meeting.So wait until the timing comes.

"Art is an object that feels Amur. Primitives, outsiders, contemporary, ancient and medieval art. Even if the times and means of expression are different, art in all fields is born from human hands and appeals to the hearts of the recipient.Living in love is to be invited to a different world from everyday life. It's an absolute element to live. "

The decoration is determined by the first impression.However, by releasing the arrangement, moving furniture by moving large patterns, and freely arranged, a good balance of the interior is created.

He has visited galleries, antique shops, and museums in various countries in the world visited by work and private.

Especially for Methydar (art crafts) and primitive art, I like the National Archeology Museum in Naples and the Circular Museum of Art in Paris.

"But the best museum for me is the forest. While walking in the forest, listen to the natural voice and observe the breathing of living things. There is no more wonderful artpiece."

Last year, the house purchased in Normandy first prepared gardening and completed the garden.When the house is renovated, finding an art that fits the interior is a fun mission in the future.
