Where other sections bring artists together around a common theme, the Variations group deliberately chooses diversity as its founding principle. It reflects the richness and complexity of the contemporary art scene. It combines works from well-established movements with others that are more unique, sometimes described as “unclassifiable.” The result is a broad, dynamic, ever-changing vision of contemporary creation. Each new edition of the group offers a snapshot of today's constantly evolving artistic landscape. This open approach allows innovative trends to emerge.

In 2025, the selected artists powerfully embody this plurality: their works explore a broad spectrum ranging from figurative to abstract, covering all the nuances in between. The mediums and techniques used are equally varied, affirming total freedom of expression. The strength of the group lies in this diversity, which stimulates curiosity, provokes fruitful confrontations, and invites each artist to take a fresh look at their own practice.
