Our Mission
Being an artist isn’t just a passion, it’s a vocation.
Many people carry within them a creative spark, a deep desire to shape the world through their own perspective; one that could shift how others see and feel.
But from a young age, that spark is often cut short, met with the fear of those closest to them. Families and friends, associating an art career with risk, poverty, and disappointment, tend to steer them toward a safer, more predictable path. Society, too, often treats the artist’s journey as uncertain, unstable, even irresponsible.
So they listen.
They choose a different degree, a different job, and slowly drift away from their true calling. Not because they lacked talent or dedication, but because no one trusted their ability, and no one showed them how it could work.
What if becoming an artist was as clearly structured and culturally supported as becoming a doctor, a musician, or a scientist?
What if it was simply a matter of having the passion, the belief, and doing the work — and people felt proud when someone said, “I want to be an artist”?
That is the mission of Artstories:
To revolutionize how we see the artist’s journey.
To replace fear with clarity.
Uncertainty with structure.
And to offer a new narrative. One where becoming a professional artist is not only possible, but respected, supported, and celebrated.
Meet the Founder
Deborah was born and raised in Paris, where weekends meant getting lost in galleries and museums, slowly shaping a deep sensitivity to contemporary art. She studied Fine Art, Visual Communication, and Videography, then spent a decade building a successful career in branding and strategy, helping companies craft powerful narratives and visual identities.
But something was missing.
She was helping people, but not her people.
Feeling the pull to make a deeper impact, she returned to study marketing and business, determined to use those tools to contribute meaningfully to the art world.
Deborah began working directly with emerging talents, guiding them toward clarity, visibility, and recognition. To date, she has supported over 30 artists in building their portfolios, refining their positioning, and accessing real-world opportunities, including prestigious residencies, gallery representation, and national prizes.
Her mission is to help shape a world where being an artist is not just a passion, but a respected, sustainable, and thriving career path.
Our Vision
We are moving toward a future obsessed with productivity.
A world where profit is the only rule, efficiency is worshipped, and people are quietly shaped into machines; rushed, disconnected, and worn thin.
We wake up to to-do lists, scroll through curated other people’s life, travel in gray cities and wonder why we feel so empty.
Like rats in a maze, we keep running. Faster, but not fuller.
If we continue down this path, we risk losing something essential.
The part of us that feels. That pauses. That connects.
The part that makes us human.
Imagine we could to take another path? to choose to focus on our humanity, on our values, on love, on friendship.
Just like music, art has the power to make us feel.
It softens the edges. It reminds us of beauty, of complexity, of being alive.
It reconnects us. To ourselves, to each other, to what truly matters.
If I tell you that this is possible. A world where art isn’t confined into galleries or phone screens.
But all around us.
making the streets more soulful, the conversations more meaningful,
and returning purpose to our everyday lives.
Art can change a society.
And that’s exactly what we intend to do.
Be part of the change.
