The brand creator
Hi. I’m Cyril Gendarme, the proud creator behind Gallery Minimalist. Hailing from the picturesque country of Belgium, I have a profound appreciation for art and a deep-rooted love for minimalist principles.
My journey into minimalism began with a fascination for the beauty found in simplicity. As an artist at heart, I was drawn to the idea that elegance and functionality could coexist in harmony. The aesthetics and philosophy of minimalism, with their clean lines and uncluttered spaces, captured my imagination like no other.
Born and raised in Belgium, a place known for its rich artistic heritage, I was surrounded by the influence of great European art and design. This environment fueled my passion for aesthetics and led me to explore the concept of minimalism, seeking to incorporate it into every facet of my life.
I established Gallery Minimalist as a platform to share my love for minimalism with like-minded individuals seeking simplicity, sustainability, and functionality in their lives. Through this brand, I aim to provide you with curated products and ideas that align with the principles I hold dear – minimalism as an art form and a way of life.
Because less is more.
