On the iconic Rue d’Antibes, nestled among the high-end boutiques and sun-soaked promenades, lies Bel-Air Fine Art, a gallery that has become a destination for contemporary art collectors across Europe. At its heart is Boris Sommier, a quietly influential figure who has been shaping conversations in the art world from behind the scenes.

Since joining the gallery in 2017, Sommier has become more than an art advisor—he’s a trusted guide, a connector of visionaries, and a tastemaker for those seeking the extraordinary. Whether it’s a seasoned collector searching for a statement piece or a newcomer dipping a toe into the art market, Sommier has a gift for reading both the artwork and the individual standing before it.

Before his tenure at Bel-Air, he honed his craft as a gallery manager at Colorfield Gallery and held roles in marketing and communications at Art Jingle Galerie and Jarden Group, where he merged creative insight with strategic acumen. His background allows him to navigate the ever-evolving art market with both style and substance.

In 2020, during Monaco’s First International Exhibition of Contemporary Art, Sommier made waves by presenting “BLAH BLAH BLAH Multi” by French artist Joseph (Thierry Michelet), earning praise for spotlighting works that challenge, provoke, and resonate.

Sommier’s approach is deeply personal yet globally informed. He speaks the language of both artists and investors, bringing them into dialogue in a way that elevates the cultural narrative. For him, art isn’t just a commodity—it’s a conversation.

As the lines blur between luxury, culture, and investment, Boris Sommier stands at the intersection with a keen eye and a curator’s instinct. In Cannes, where glamour meets depth, he’s not just advising on art—he’s defining its future. https://www.belairfineart.com/fr
