As the year unfolds, so do moods, rhythms, and states of mind. We thought it would be interesting to read the calendar through art: twelve months, twelve works, each chosen for its subtle dialogue with a specific time of year.
From introspective winters to expansive summers, from quiet memory to renewed beginnings, these editions trace a cycle, emotional as much as seasonal. A way of moving through the year with art as a companion.

Discover the collection:

January is often painted in blue tones: quiet, heavy, introspective. In After the Shadow (2020), Tracey Emin (b. 1963) embraces vulnerability not as a weakness, but as a threshold. Melancholy becomes a companion on the way toward clarity and renewal.

Winter endures, but February carries motion beneath the stillness. Peter Doig’s (b. 1959) image evokes a suspended time made of snow, landscape and memory; where leisure and disorientation coexist. A poetic echo of winter sports and the strange calm of alpine spaces.

As spring begins to surface, The Virtues (2021) bloom with colour and symbolism. Closely connected to Damien Hirst’s (b. 1965) celebrated Cherry Blossoms series (2019), these works capture nature’s excess and fragility, an explosion of life just as the season turns.

April belongs to flowers, but Alex Katz (1927) strips them of sentimentality. His tulips are bold, flat, immediate: less about romance than presence. A reminder that spring is also about clarity, light, and decisive colour.

May carries ideas of love and transformation. Butterflies, a recurring symbol in Hirst’s practice, stand for beauty and impermanence, but also belief. A work that balances joy with the awareness of change.

June is the month of the sun at its height. Otto Piene’s (1928-2014) radiant composition draws on solar symbolism as energy, rhythm, and cosmic order. Light here is not decorative but a generative, symbolic force.

Summer is in full swing. Holidays begin, routines loosen, time slows down. With Deckchair (Yellow) (2008), Hirst elevates a familiar object of rest into an icon of seasonal suspension, where leisure becomes both subject and state of mind.

August nights invite us to look up. On the Night of St. Lawrence, when meteors streak across the clearest skies, Robert Longo’s (b. 1953) Horsehead Nebula (2008) opens a cosmic perspective: vast, dark, and quietly awe-inspiring.

Back to the city, back to movement. Christo’s (1935-2020) monumental wrapping transforms a familiar landmark into a fleeting event. September’s energy of return and reinvention finds form in an artwork defined by time and transformation.

Autumn settles in through texture and tone. El Anatsui’s (b. 1944) metallic surfaces echo October’s shifting palette - gold, bronze, shadow - while speaking of history, labour, and material transformation.

November invites reflection. Muted, foggy, introspective. Zhang Xiaogang’s (b. 1958) portrait carries memory as a quiet weight, both personal and collective, mirroring the melancholic stillness of late autumn.

The year closes in black and white. Longo’s snow-covered forest is both cinematic and contemplative: a moment of stillness, silence, and depth before the cycle begins again.
