Artists feedback about Art Coach
Art Coach was developed by Virginie Tison, also founder and curator of Art Trope Gallery. Passionate about her profession, it was obvious that she voluntarily brought her expertise during the Arles Exposition portfolio reviews. Her personalized support represents the essential basis of a good representation within Art Trope Gallery. Virginie Tison’s daily job is to analyze, advise and create all the elements that each artist needs. Her sincerity and her obsession with discovering talents underscore her involvement. This is how the first Master Class was developed and seminars are being held.
To develop an artistic career, skills in several areas of activity are essential such as: the proper management of your social networks, the establishment of a responsive website with an optimized natural SEO, the creation and layout of your documents (portfolios, business cards, newsletters, etc.), the retouching of your photographs, the configuration of your emailing to ensure the promotion of your artistic advances, and many more.
Collaborating with Art Trope Gallery and Virginie Tison is giving the opportunity for the artists to:
– Find an artistic and strategic support for their career development through Art Coach
– Be represented professionally with the different web tools used by Art-Trope
– Be exhibited professionally with a real communication through Art Trope Gallery
– Take part in international art fairs and become well known through Art Trope Gallery
– Have a dedicated manager to develop exhibitions opportunities through Art-Trope Agency
Thus, Art Trope Gallery presents the testimonies of the various artists with whom we had the honor to work as part of our Art Coach program.

Feedback of the Artists of Art Trope Gallery
Florence Sartori, Sculptor

“The collaboration with Art-Trope is very beneficial for me and has given me the keys to carry out thoughtful artistic actions with a clear guideline. Personalized, useful and precise advice, especially for the communication around my work (whether on writing or on pictures) is very precious. The accompaniment provided by Art-Trope has allowed me, so far, to clarify the direction of my artistic career, to integrate myself in events to my extent while remaining artistically in tune with myself.”
– Florence Sartori
Hélène Hubert, Photographer

“For the development of my career, Art Trope Gallery is my best ally. My magical encounter with Virginie Tison revealed the best of me. Her incisive and watchful eye brings coherence and consistency to my daily work, at the heart of my existing, present and future works. With the Art Coach Masterclass, I build a lasting balance in my life as an artist: mastering the right tools, at the right time, on the right situation, without a headache. The aim is to be understandable, to improve how to define my projects, to know how to establish strategies, to improve how to position myself on the art market, to assert my identity unequivocally. Within Art Trope Gallery, visibilities are grown with foresight in total transparency and fairness. The organization is rigorous and responsive. Commitments are kept. The atmosphere is collaborative and joyful. Joining Art Trope means living your art well.”
– Hélène Hubert
Rosario Galatioto, Painter

“For a year I followed the training delivered by Virginie Tison, which allowed me to better understand the tricks of communication on social networks, to develop a clear and effective editorial line. Her advice allows each of us to enhance our artistic production.”
– Rosario Galatioto
Charles Weber, Photographer

“Meeting Virginie Tison in Arles was a great stimulus and a great relief for me. Always preoccupied with making new projects, during all my years of photography, I took little interest in the dissemination of my work and I ignored social medias. This is why the intervention of Virginie with her ART-TROPE concept was providential for me. While promoting her artists, she communicates her tireless energy to them. She has the gift of convincing and the courage to undertake to defend art and its creators, especially at this dramatic moment for the culture.”
– Charles Weber
Nathan Soulez-Larivière, Photographer

“My return in France in 2019 was dedicated by the need of sharing my first photographic reportages. However the greatest obstacle was the beginning to share my Art. By the acknowledgment of my art and the professional approach rolled by Art -Trope, my photographs are now exposed to the public. This invites me today to continue my new reportages. I recommend to any artist believing in the strength of his/her art with a collaborative mind to join the wonderful venture Art-Trope.”
– Nathan Soulez-Larivière
Bruno Palisson, Photographer

“Collaborating with Virginie means disseminating your art with today’s tools. More than ever, exhibition, media coverage and the economy of art are being disrupted. Integrating Art Trope Gallery and its Art Coach system , it is to learn not to undergo it, but to use it to reveal oneself better.”
– Bruno Palisson
Alain Le Chapelier, Photographer

“I have met Art-Trope during an Art show in Paris in 2018 where I exhibited a series of photographs. I quickly accepted the proposition to join Art-Trope and I had a meeting with Virginie Tison, the Founder, who made me think differently to an artistic approach, and led me to professionalized my actions. I appreciate the facts that my series of photographs are online on the website and especially the regular exchanges with Virginie, which are always kind and nevertheless really professional. During the first lock-down in 2020, she knew how to continue to follow Artists and to propose meetings in distance, which allowed me to break this isolation and not to let us feel lonely. In summary, I am really sensitive to her accompagnement and at the same time to her strategic aspects in a pragmatic way to development of an artistic career.”
– Alain Le Chapelier
Harry Ergott, Painter

“Since I started working with Virginie Tison in spring 2019, I‘ve made huge strides in my artistic career. Through her art coaching I now understand how important every aspect is for the advancement of my artist career. It started with organizing my oeuvre in series and continued with her competent help in writing the artist statement and biography. The consistent strategy in social media matters is also part of her coaching. I really appreciate the international visibility of my paintings through high-quality presentations at art fairs and in the Art Trope gallery in Paris. In addition, the Art Trope Gallery has a high level of competence in marketing tools and technology.”
– Harry Ergott
Antoine Buttafoghi, Photographer

“Since collaborating with Art-Trope, I gained a much better visibility of my work and, above all, a new dimension. I feel far less pressure because everything is easier when you are well supported, and I focus more on my photographic work. Virginie Tison is very professional, passionate and our exchanges are always very instructive! It’s really hard to do better. As an artist, I recommend that you subscribe to Art-Trope and move forward at your own pace by applying the advice given.”
– Antoine Buttafoghi
Mireille Lopez, Painter

“My collaboration with Virginie Tison is a real asset for me and it is thanks to her support that I have been able to develop myself as a thorough artist painter. The Art Coach sessions we had together have been essential to improve my technique but also to help me manage and professionalize my new artistic career. We worked together for more than two years and it is this state of mind that I particularly appreciate. Since June 2020, the physical gallery completes the services of Art Trope and it is a real opportunity to be able to exhibit in Paris, in a magnificent place and with Virginie Tison, the gallery owner. A lot of artists ask me what I think of Art Trope and I can only tell them that, without this service, I would have drowned in the storm of this artistic environment which I did not master and my work would not have developed as quickly. I also would not have dreamt of exhibiting in Paris and even less in Taiwan. What I particularly appreciate Virginie Tison’s coaching is that each session is organized around the needs of each individual artist. Overall, this collaboration has widened my possibilities as an artist but also has allowed me to meet other artists who share the same values of work and benevolence. Even today, I could not imagine my artistic development without Art Trope Gallery.”
– Mireille Lopez
Evelyne Puech, Painter

“I feel the support provided by Art Coach as a real springboard in the pursuit of my artistic work. The multidisciplinary skills of Virginie Tison constitute, in my opinion, a necessary framework for the development of an artistic career. Her knowledge in very diversified fields of the artistic universe allow her a holistic approach adapted to each one according to each one needs. The professionalism, enthusiasm and generosity with which I feel supported have led me to have complete confidence in her support.”
– Evelyne Puech
Sabrina Le Roux, Photographer

“I consider my meeting with Virginie Tison an artistic opportunity. The values it conveys, based on the benevolence and love of art, allow freedom of creation. I feel an availability and a listening. This understanding helps me in my artistic questioning. My collaboration with Art Trope Gallery seems promising as a young artist. It allows me to evolve calmly in my approach.”
– Sabrina Le Roux
Denis Stracquadanio, Painter

“As an aspiring artist, I first contacted Art Trope Gallery for a one-hour analysis of my artistic positioning. A direct, pragmatic and relevant exchange urged me to be backed up to develop my art. A glance at the content of the Master Class sessions made me take the plunge and I was immediately surprised by the very operational content of the first module “Digital Communication” and its application the very next day. Under the impulse of Virginie Tison I joined the Gallery, the team took the lead in building my digital identity and in the presentation of my art with great efficiency. In just a few weeks, my marketing identity, my development plans were structured while benefiting from the gallery’s support in my many questions.”
– Denis Stracquadanio
Barbara Christol, Painter

” I have followed the activities of this gallery since its inception and have seen its positive development and growth over the years. I chose to join Art Trope Gallery because of the trust established with the gallery, its director Virginie Tison and myself. In addition to the achievements of the gallery and the unfailing professionalism of its curator, the special and truly personalised support given to the artists is a real “plus”. It creates a vital dynamic in the development of an artistic career. Art Trope Gallery represents and supports its artists in all aspects of their art and I am delighted with this new collaboration”.
– Barbara Christol
Arnaud Rinuccini, Photographer

“For me, choosing Art Trope Gallery was an opportunity to move into a new dimension: to leave behind the “navigation à vue” and develop a professional approach to the truly complex business of being an artist. To approach it alone and without reference points was to condemn yourself to stagnation. I was convinced of the benefits of being accompanied so that I wouldn’t waste time making the wrong career choices, benefit from knowledge of the art market that I didn’t have, and have access to new opportunities to sell my work to collectors”.
– Arnaud Rinuccini
Matheo de Bruvisso, Painter

“I chose to join Art Trope Gallery because Virginie has a good understanding of the issues in the art world today. She is responsive to both the artists and the market. Rarely do you meet people who are so passionate about their work, and it is a privilege to be a part of it. With Art Trope Gallery, I feel well advised, promoted, supported, motivated, and respected.”
– Matheo de Bruvisso
Tanya Angelova, Painter

“I met Virginie Tison several times before we started working together and as time went by, trust was established. We discussed the tricks to master presentation on my website, my media, social networks, or to organize a future exhibition, etc. I also needed some insights about the European and American art market, her kind feedback was precious. Her professionalism and expertise combine genuine human values. Both passionate and informative, this is a collaboration I would recommend to artists. “
– Tanya Angelova
Nicholas Winter, Photographer

“I first met Virginie Tison at The Volta Show art fair in Basel in 2021 and again in 2022. I made an inquiry if I could send Virginie a digital portfolio of my photographic work and she kindly accepted. I made some insights into Art Trope and was really hoping Virginie would ‘see’ and find my work suitable and in line with what Art Trope represents. Now, I’m pleased to be a part of Art Trope Gallery as I appreciate the representation of a focused number of international artists covering varied mediums, from painting, sculpture, drawing and photography. Furthermore, what the gallery offers in terms of artist coaching is highly beneficial, creating the possibility to form a communicative partnership with long term collaboration in mind. The support and promotion of artists is so valuable that having the gallery help in this area allows the artist to focus on the ever important aspect of creating work. Together, a secure foundation to build on is created which delivers a sense of security and support. It is encouraging. Apart from the personal wish for a new platform in a different country from where I am based, to have the opportunity to open my work to a new market and viewers, this collaboration with Art Trope is an exciting and motivating development, a collaboration which I am eager to help, watch grow and further my artistic career. I feel Art Trope Gallery offers a stable surrounding which fosters an individual’s creative process.”
– Nicholas Winter
Artists feedback who participated at the Master Class
“I’ve been following Virginie Tison’s coaching Master Classes for almost a year now, and I have to say that her teaching is already starting to bear fruit. My career has taken a real boost. Virginie taught me how to define a strategy and an editorial line, master the presentation of my works on social networks using easy-to-use tools, and professionalize my Internet referencing, all of which enabled me to achieve high exposure, both on the networks and on online art sales platforms. She also guided me through the creation of my website, which thanks to her is now the key reference to my whole online presence.Virginie Tison’s availability through regular one to one phone calls made all these achievements a reality. However, the benefits of her coaching go much deeper. Another side of her training is focused on the heart of career management: sales. Setting up an exhibition, communicating with the press and collectors all require a very clear approach, and again, professional coaching has given me more control over my image as an artist. Above all, attending Virginie Tison’s Art Coach Master Classes has forced me to be much more critical with my work, and spot weaknesses as well as strengths. This prompted me to refocus my approach on a few specific themes, to explore new avenues out of my comfort zone, and to enhance my work with new pictorial research in order to achieve a true singularity. Virginie Tison’s coaching helped me to make a real artistic change by teaching me how to control my visibility and communication. Today, I can clearly see that art market professionals are much more interested in my work than before, which allows me to pursue much more ambitious career goals.” — Benoît S.
” Teaming up with Art Coach gives us a global perspective on our work, enabling us to show and promote a coherent and genuine creative approach. Thanks to Virginie Tison, we can tackle all the facets of our activity in a structured way, especially how to communicate, with whom, how to present our work and adapt our discourse to the target audience. This coaching format allows us gradually to build up our skills, step by step, over several months, in the medium and long term. It’s also an opportunity to confront your work with an outside expert viewpoint, while adding a great deal of conviviality to the open and constructive exchange.In short, you can guess that I highly recommend Art Coach, and my only regret is that I didn’t take the plunge sooner”. — Yann F.
“ I was cutting wood at home for 6 years. I also stored matches there, but wasn’t sure how to use them. Virginie taught me how to sort my firewood: choose the best logs, keep the green wood apart, put small branches under the larger pieces and then light a match. Then the warm crackle of the glowing fireplace can be observed. Virginie organized my mess, taught me how to use the tools available, and offered an expert, uncompromising but sympathetic view. She helps to highlight my work and encourages me to fully embrace my artistic approach. I used to chop wood; thanks to Virginie, I now know how to make a fire and this is just the beginning of a new story…” — Alexandre G.
” I’m very happy with my new collaboration with Virginie. From the very first meeting, Virginie could analyze my position, identify what was blocking me and restore my confidence in being a legitimate artist. Her wise, honest and kind insight is a real boost and gives me the necessary energy and commitment to build my artistic career with serenity, step by step, with practical and achievable goals: at last, I have the feeling of moving forward! I also love the Masterclass that backs it all up and allows you to connect with a community of artists who are going through the process along with you. It feels so good to be in the right place!” — Sonia V.
“I’m very, very happy with Virginie Tison’s Master Class training.The content is comprehensive, and the contributions and exchanges help me to move forward. It’s very instructive and interesting. Virginie gives us invaluable information, instructions and tools,etc. I really appreciate the way she sees my work, it’s very rich and helps me to grow. I also really like the way she talks, frank and warm at the same time. This master class is a great opportunity that I’ve been lucky enough to be a part of.It helps you feel less isolated and more motivated.” — Fabienne W.
“Professional photographer for 20 years, my artistic life is split between the creation of personal series and different assignments in the cultural field. Suspicious at first, I gave in, being in great need for years of a fresh professional insight without friendly bias. As soon as we started talking, I felt that Virginie and I were on the same wavelength, I liked the way she ” led ” me, as it did not interfere with the creative part of my work. In fact, she captures the essence of the images to enhance their beauty and, most important, to make them work together. To put it straight, my work was a mess with too many things mixed up, and Virginie had to filter out what was essential. I had been waiting for this for years.” — Matthieu C.
“This training is very relevant to developing my business as a painter and the personalized coaching is dynamic and caring. The trainer is very passionate and responsive. From the very first meeting, she makes us feel confident. I can’t wait for what comes next, it’s exciting.” — Laétitia T.
“My meeting with Virginie Tison was a real trigger in my work and in the way of understanding my art. In terms of communication but also on the direction of my artistic production. Virginie knows how to listen, advise and put her finger on the fundamental elements to mature. His relevant and benevolent look is a tremendous asset in my progress towards a professional practice of my art. I felt for a long time that I was alone in a universe where I didn’t have the keys. That’s what my collaboration with Virginia has changed.” — Marion L.
“As an artist, it’s hard to find a listening ear concerning my doubts, my thoughts and who to ask for advice on the progression of my artistic universe while improving my communication strategy in order to develop my career in a professional way. I met Virginie thanks to a call for applications to which I responded, in my opinion, her approach is innovative because she offers coaching and care, personalized for each artist. Our Art Coach sessions are rhythmic on several axes and his benevolence allows me to move forward in total serenity.”
— Laure L.“Meeting Virginie Tison and taking part in the Master Classes has been an extremely important event in my artistic life. As a Coach, Virginie’s outspokenness is not always pleasant to hear but vital for the development of my artistic work, which allows me to be efficient and waste as little time as possible. The Master Classes are accompanied by personal phone calls with Virginie: these moments of intense exchanges on my artistic practice allowed me to progress and gain more confidence. I would like to thank Virginie for her commitment and her professionalism.”
— Anna R.
“ To be an artist is not just about creating, it is about being in a dynamic and on multiple fronts all at once. Aware of this, I have taken many online trainings on business strategies for artists and supplemented them with readings. In spite of this, I had a feeling of being stuck, with results that did not match the work invested and with a growing lack of enthusiasm. Following Virginie Tison on Instagram, I took up her invitation to a presentation of her Art Coach activities by Visio conference. As Virginie Tison’s presentation was so passionate and frank, after two weeks of reflection, I signed up for a strategic interview. And there, from the first fifteen minutes, I understood the basics of a professional activity, the Why and the How! Her insight about my digital identity, my events communication, about the coherence of my series and technical aspects of my works allowed me to understand that each action is part of a whole whereas I was working in a fragmented way. Thanks to her easy explanations, I finally understood how to develop my artistic career. Virginie Tison’s qualified external viewpoint allows us to diagnose the weak points, check the bases of a digital communication strategy with the right tools and tips to pinpoint fake professionalism leading to a lack of progress. From the start, my collaboration with Virginie Tison boosted my motivation because I finally have the answers I was looking for and I also feel supported. ” — Fanny D.
” As a result of many exhibitions, participation in local and national festivals and competitions, exchanges during photography shows, symposiums, portfolio readings or training, I realized over the years that it was not enough. With the creation of Art Trope Gallery including the Art Coach and its Master Class to professionalize artists during 12 months, I finally met the ideal blend to transition from amateur artist to professional photographer. The training is well structured with an ideal duration of 12 online Master Classes each month of the year and monthly individual coaching with Virginie Tison on my photographic projects. With access to her calendar, availability for interviews with Virginie couldn’t be better. Her human attitude, her kind explanations and her smart eye are very supportive. ” — Marion W.
“Life’s magic brings us, if we pay attention, the people and opportunities that allow us to grow along the way. Both artistically and on a human level, Virginie is more than welcome on my path, and I wish us every success as we grow together. The Strategic interview enabled me to learn not only about myself and my creative process, through direct and benevolent feedback, but also essential practical tips to facilitate my daily work in the studio as an oil painter. The monthly online meetings are little gems to be exploited rigorously and persistently, to fully develop your creative potential, and take your place in the art world with passion and brains. Everything is said and done to get there successfully, and our own work is supported by a caring, inspired and inspiring woman who is easy to talk to, professional and aware that leading us to our own success is part of hers too, and vice versa. I feel like I’m working as part of a team, and that I’ve chosen the best partner to help shape the chaos of our world into the ideal breeding ground for us to shine and grow together. Virginie has been through all the stages, from artist to businesswoman, so I feel I’m in good company, cheerfully and effectively supported to take my career seriously and still keep smiling, with faith, strength and inspiration!” — ALexia C.
“Thanks to her Master Classes, Virginie helped me to better understand the art market. As a coach, she was able to support me in periods of doubt and motivated me to take decisive steps in my artistic career. Her approach allowed me to better define my own path in Art. ”
— Thomas D.
” Over the course of the different masterclasses, Virginie Tison allowed me to discover tools, applications and precious advice to set up a serious and appropriate communication strategy in order to enhance my work. Thanks to her listening skills, her professional approach as well as her kindness, I have recovered my confidence to smoothly move forward on a daily basis.”
— Sonia H.
“I gave a lot of thought before embarking on the Master Class training with Virginie Tison, but I definitely don’t regret my choice of trusting her, because her involvement with the artists and her professionalism have allowed me to feel supported in my work. Thanks to the training, I learn to get organized and clarify my goals. In addition to the professional support, Virginie is constantly responsive and provides us with valuable personalized advice, both artistically and in terms of personal development. I am just at the beginning of the training, but I have no doubt that it will be of great value to me in my professional journey.” — Noémie B.
“Virginie’s coaching helped me organize my social networks and improve the quality of my posts. My visibility is already much higher after only 3 months. But her support mostly urges me to refocus in order to give my artistic process and practice a stronger coherence.” — Benoît S.
” The training is clear and complete, it meets the objectives and helps us get the tools we need to make the most of our work. The monthly individual meetings allow us to address specific issues as we go along. I felt backed up and energized by Virginie’s professionalism and enthusiasm, and I was able to approach my creative work with a freer mind.” — Virginie D.
“When you sign up for this Master Class cycle, you quickly understand that you will get your money’s worth: Virginie Tison knows what she is talking about. It is clear, straightforward and intense, and she spares no time or effort in guiding us along a broad overview of the artistic profession. The monthly group session covers the essential aspects of effective communication, and you have free access to Virginie Tison’s agenda to discuss with her by phone any point that raises questions, and on which her expertise is truly valuable. It’s both comforting and challenging, and I clearly feel that through all of this I have reached a milestone in my artistic career.” — Arnaud R.
“Time flies and is fully used, thanks to Virginie’s professional guidance via the Art Coach Master Class! I still have a lot to do but the path she has laid out for me helps at each stage.

With a professional expertise of the artists’ process, Virginie motivates you and assists you at all times with no stress so Thank you Virginie!” — Niki N.
“Virginie Tison’s Art Coach Master Class during 12 months allowed me to become aware of the various aspects and tasks one must master to become a professional. The content was informative and a good support for me to deepen later on. I particularly appreciated Virginie’s personal advice, her responsiveness, her patience and her comforting kindness in an environment where the operating rules and practices are not obvious to know. Rewriting the texts is definitely a necessary task as well.“ — Sandrine R.
“A big thank you to Virginie Tison for her feedback and good advice that helped me become more professional in my journey as an artist.” — Juliette B.
“I met Virginie Tison several times before we started working together and as time went by, trust was established.

Her professionalism and expertise combine genuine human values. Both passionate and informative, this is a collaboration I would recommend to artists. “ — Tanya A.

After an initial phone interview, I decided to attend her Master Class.The coaching sessions are dynamic, resourceful and well structured.On the personal level, I especially valued her visit to my studio in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Her wise and professional insight in my work, along with her technical guidance, has been of great benefit and now allows me to move on.I also appreciate her availability, her patience in case of problems with social networks – not always easy – and her understanding which helps me gain confidence in my painting.Now I just have to work and work again and again.” — Gisèle L.
Artists who have completed a Strategic Interview
Hélène H.
“My first strategic meeting with Virginie acted as a magic wand for my series. Her contribution of coherence, as if she was rephrasing my visual sentences, uncovered the essence of my approach. The objectivity of her vision and her determined but open and generous choices have justified my work with clear directions. In a perfect synergy, the Master Class taught me to set a dynamic framework to my professional activities. In a concise manner, she shares with us the outcome of her expertise in management, art marketing and communication. You will get the answers to the following questions : – How to build your artistic identity, digitize it, develop it and maintain it? – How to choose and implement the right strategies with the right tools for a visible, consistent and targeted digital presence? – How to build step by step, the appropriate action plan to realize a project and/or an exhibition? As many practical guidelines to define a strong, empowering and independent personal strategy in order to reach short, medium and long term objectives in a flexible way.

Bertrand G.
“I had planned for more than a year to develop further and more seriously my artistic project. By reading, listening, seeking advice and enlightening points of view to progress, I naturally wanted to try a coaching session with Virginie Tison. The distance covered in an hour was impressive. Virginie’s relevance, efficiency and foresight in scanning the nature of my work and its state of progress, all embodied in a twenty-point roadmap, excited me, leading to an immediate and mutual decision of collaboration. With Art Trope Gallery, I feel like I have found much more than a gallery. I joined a community of artists around a place where the project and the progress of each have their place. Virginie Tison’s energy, competence and knowledge of the art market are major assets, but her straightforward approach and the quality of the relationships that she intends to develop between all the participants to this adventure give it a unique flavor and great perspectives. I am a 100% supporter of Art-Trope and I am very happy to be a part of it.”
Fabrice C.
“It is thanks to the Art Coach’s strategic interview with Virginie Tison that I came to her Master Class in order to professionalize my status as an artist. My starting point was very far, since I was isolated in my art with no understanding of the codes and most of all with no series, biography, texts, etc… and social networks that appeared to me as a mountain to climb. The support I received from Art Coach and especially the personalized advice of Virginie Tison, wise and always kind, have helped me to improve, to get out of my comfort zone and to clarify the direction to give to my artistic career.”
Arnaud R.
“Art Coach’s strategic interview is well named: it is a very comprehensive work session that addresses all aspects of our own artistic career development. We are far beyond a simple portfolio reading. Help in the selection of our works, improvement of the coherence and impact of our series, evaluation of our digital communication, everything goes through it. We come out with much clearer ideas about what needs to be put in place to move forward in a structured way. No more fumbling around!”
Barbara C.
“Last year, I decided to get support in my artistic life in order to be more efficient inside my studio as well as outside. The strategic interview allowed me to concretely target my strong points, my expectations, my work’s perfectible aspects and to start a coaching session suited to my needs and meeting the art market requirements: appropriate communication, accurate materials, professional writings… As a result of the strategic discussion, I naturally continued this coached training by attending the masterclass offered by Virginie Tison and I am very satisfied, both on the professional and human level: relevant topics, clear progression, interactions with other artists etc…”
Sophie J.
“I started a year of training and learning under the direction of Virginie Tison. It took her no more than three hours to help me change my status, step forward on social networks, redesign my website, etc. But above all, she has already infused me with her energy to better harness mine. It’s huge and I expect a lot out of this adventure.”
Sonia H.
“The strategic interview was my first contact with Virginie Tison during which I was able to get to know her background, appreciate her qualities, her energy and her professionalism. Thanks to this personal and attentive approach, we took the time to review my background and my artistic work. As a result, Virginie assisted me in defining different issues that needed to be addressed and/or improved through her advice and expertise, which will continue during the next Masterclasses.”

“This first strategic interview with Virginie allowed me to assess my painting practice and the tools I use to communicate and sell my work. Her vision is very precise and professional while caring. Sometimes it’s a bit disturbing, but it’s to move things along. She gives me written feedback and that is precious. I am now looking forward to the next part, technical and digital elements to be more efficient! “
Maxime V.
“My professional relationship with Art-Trope and Virginie began after our first phone call where I really felt an involvement and a commitment with all of her artists beyond her precious advice and her professional guidelines which opened my approach to new artistic and professional ways. Her ability to listen and her empathy seduced me too, maybe I can be a little wild and instinctive, but I felt confident and I have no regrets with this choice.”
