Yanti Cornet is a Belgian artist and curator whose practice moves between painting, material process and the selection of unique objects.

​

Rooted in years spent studying art history, aesthetics, antiques and professionally working within high-end interior atmospheres, his work explores the moment where attention, material and presence come together. Through slow and repetitive preparation — stretching canvas, grinding, mixing pigment by hand — each work emerges from a process that values concentration over spectacle and intuition over control.

​

Influenced by Eastern philosophy and the idea of the aesthetic experience as a temporary loss of the ego, his paintings function as traces of presence rather than fixed narratives. The works deliberately resist literal interpretation and are therefore catalogued numerically rather than titled.

​

Alongside his artistic practice, Cornet curates a selection of vintage, antique and contemporary objects chosen for their character, materiality and ability to shape atmosphere. Rather than separating art, object and interior, he approaches them as part of the same visual and emotional language.

​

His work and curatorial eye are guided by a shared interest in silence, tension, imperfection and the quiet energy carried by meaningful objects.
