Drawing inspiraton from this artistic environment, he was able to successfully combine his passion for art with the Valmont brand, creating new ways of communication and introducing new marketing tools with limited collections and ephemeral exhibitions ...

In short, Didier Guillon is constantly reinventing himself and this passion was passed on to his three children, Capucine, Maxence and Valentine. In 2015 he created the Valmont Foundation in Venice, allowing him to organise and present exhibitions, discover bold talents who are close to his heart and bring together a life of collecting paintings around a single watchword : "Philanthropy".
