Paul Marnef's Imaginary Planets - art photographs

A bespoke "Imaginary Planet" is more than just wall décor; it is a contemporary work of art - conceived, created, and signed by Paul Marnef—that draws inspiration from your unique world.

It can visually express your brand identity, your local roots, your connection to nature, your history, or the distinctive atmosphere of a specific location. It can also complement communication initiatives, CSR projects, exhibitions, private viewings, inaugurations, corporate campaigns, or business events.

In a world saturated with standardized visuals, an original work of art helps create an image that is more evocative, memorable, and personal. It can serve as a signature image for your organization while retaining the power of a standalone artistic creation.

Works of art are a perfect fit for professional environments. They transform reception areas, meeting rooms, executive suites, open-plan offices, coworking spaces, professional practices, hotels, galleries, cultural venues, and commercial premises.

An "Imaginary Planet" piece can be integrated into office fit-outs, interior design schemes, or bespoke layouts. It adds an artistic dimension to your workspace and contributes to the quality of life at work.

In a professional setting, an original artwork can also create a focal point, spark conversation, reinforce the location's identity, and bring a more human touch to your offices.

Each project begins with a discussion about your organization, your values, and your objectives.

An "Imaginary Planet" can be created from a building, headquarters, garden, landscape, production site, natural area, field, forest, façade, architectural detail, or an element linked to your business activities.

Photographic images serve as the raw material. They are then transformed into a planet—a circular composition where reality is reconfigured into an imaginary world.

This process yields an artwork that retains a trace of your space while opening it up to a more poetic, abstract, and contemporary dimension.

This approach is particularly meaningful for organizations wishing to express their connection to nature, the living world, biodiversity, or a specific territory.

Whether it is a company committed to environmental initiatives, a plant-based brand, a foundation, a public institution, a municipality, a nature park, an actor in the ecological transition, or a cultural organization, any of these can use an "Imaginary Planet" to give artistic form to their commitment.

The artwork is not a substitute for concrete action. It should not serve as mere superficial window dressing. Instead, it can lend a tangible, evocative presence to a genuine initiative, an attentiveness to the world, a local history, or a shared vision.

Each Imaginary Planet piece can be produced as a fine art print or a contemporary wall art installation.

Depending on the project, various substrates and finishes are available: Fine Art paper, premium photographic prints, Alu-Dibond, Chromaluxe, traditional framing, floating frames (shadow box frames), or other finishes tailored to your space.

The artwork can be produced in large formats for lobbies, meeting rooms, or reception areas. It is also available in smaller formats suitable for corporate gifts or as presents for partners, employees, and collectors.

Each creation can be offered as a unique piece, a limited edition, or a numbered print. A certificate of authenticity can accompany the artwork, detailing the title, format, substrate, edition, and artist’s signature.

Companies often use corporate photography, posters, reproductions, or decorative imagery to adorn their premises. *Une Planète Imaginaire* offers a different approach: an original work of art created specifically for your organization.

It does not seek to imitate a painting, sculpture, engraving, lithograph, or abstract canvas. While rooted in the realm of contemporary photography, it engages naturally with the fine arts, visual arts, and modern creative expression.

For a company looking to acquire art, enhance its workspaces, or cultivate a more distinctive brand identity, a bespoke commission offers the opportunity to obtain a creation linked to its specific location, history, or values.

A bespoke "Imaginary Planet" can be used in a wide range of professional contexts:

as a large-format piece for a reception area, an artistic installation for offices, a striking image for an annual report, a visual for CSR communications, a work for a temporary exhibition, a corporate gift, a limited edition for clients or partners, or a creation for an art opening, an inauguration, a trade show, or a group exhibition.

It can also be designed for digital communications, print publications, scenography, gallery spaces, events, or corporate presentations.

Depending on requirements, the artwork can also be extended to include interactive or immersive elements, notably through an augmented reality version.

Commissioning a custom "Imaginary Planet" piece means bringing an original work of art into your corporate project.

The process begins with a meeting—in person or remote—to understand your requirements, budget, space, technical constraints, and communication goals.

We then define the subject matter, the locations to be photographed, the desired format, the print media, any usage rights, and the project timeline.

Once the piece has been created, it can be produced, signed, and numbered, then either installed or delivered according to the agreed-upon terms.

Acquiring a contemporary artwork for a business involves more than simply choosing a decorative element; it is also a way to affirm a connection to creativity, to living artists, and to the role of art in the workplace.

An original artwork can enhance a space’s asset value, visual identity, and atmosphere. It can also demonstrate a commitment to contemporary creativity and current artistic practices.

For businesses, the acquisition, rental, or leasing of an artwork may form part of broader considerations regarding office design, brand image, or potential tax benefits. These aspects should always be verified with your accountant or tax advisor, taking into account your country, business status, and the applicable legal framework.
