Silver Linings Arts
About us
Who we are
Silver Linings Arts is an international curatorial and cultural platform founded in Paris by artist and curator Fangyou Belleli.
Established in 2020 during a period of global disruption, Silver Linings Arts was born from a simple conviction: that even in times of crisis, art can reveal clarity, meaning, and new ways of seeing. The name reflects this belief — that beyond uncertainty and rupture, there is always a space where transformation becomes possible.
Today, Silver Linings Arts focuses on the conception, production, and transmission of contemporary art through exhibitions, artist residencies, and long-term cultural programmes.
Our mission
The mission of Silver Linings Arts is to create the conditions for meaningful artistic work to exist, be seen, and endure.
We support contemporary artists by providing:
- Serious curatorial frameworks
- Historically and symbolically resonant exhibition contexts
- Long-term programmes that allow for research, immersion, and artistic continuity
Silver Linings Arts operates as a structure of support rather than a system of extraction — prioritising artistic autonomy, ethical coherence, and depth over speed or spectacle.
Our vision
We believe contemporary art has a role beyond visibility or market validation.
Our vision is to contribute to a cultural ecosystem in which art:
- Engages presence rather than consumption
- Carries memory, dignity, and human complexity
- Creates spaces for reflection, resonance, and collective intelligence
Rooted in Paris and open to the world, Silver Linings Arts positions itself at the intersection of artistic excellence, long-term vision, and cultural responsibility.
Our Approach to Art
Silver Linings Arts approaches art as a living language.
We are committed to practices that:
- Take time
- Respect process
- Allow meaning to emerge rather than be imposed
Through curated exhibitions, international residencies, and cross-disciplinary initiatives, we accompany artists whose work engages with presence, transformation, and the human condition — without reducing creation to trend, commentary, or commodity.
Our Programmes
Our programmes range from Parisian exhibitions in historically and symbolically significant venues, to long-term international residencies designed for research, immersion, and meaningful artistic production. Each initiative is conceived with clarity, ethical coherence, and respect for artistic autonomy.
A Curatorial Ecosystem
More than an exhibition platform,
Silver Linings Arts functions as a curatorial ecosystem.
Our programmes range from Parisian exhibitions in historically significant venues to long-term international residencies designed for research and deep artistic development. Each initiative is conceived with clarity, ethical responsibility, and respect for the intelligence of both artists and audiences.
Within this ecosystem, WAMA – Where Art Meets Awareness operates as the curatorial and philosophical core, guiding the selection, orientation, and conceptual coherence of our exhibitions and residency programmes.
Our curatorial team
Fangyou Belleli
Fangyou Belleli is a Paris-based artist, curator, and creative director whose work bridges fine arts, aesthetic research, and cultural programming. Founder of Silver Linings Arts, she creates transformative art experiences that blend contemporary gesture, emotional resonance, and narrative sophistication.
Her curatorial approach integrates painting, photography, spatial design, and cross-cultural dialogue, shaping exhibitions that foreground presence, sensitivity, and the intelligence of form. With a 25-year international background in luxury branding and artistic direction, she brings a rare dual fluency — creative mastery and strategic vision — to every project.
Thierry Belleli
Thierry Belleli is a French photographer and visual curator whose work explores observation, atmosphere, and the quiet intelligence of light. His photographic practice spans urban details, landscapes, and intimate visual narratives, revealing the emotional texture of places and the poetry of everyday forms.
At Silver Linings Arts, he contributes his curatorial eye and visual sensitivity to photographic selections, artist collaborations, and exhibition development. His background in engineering and global project leadership brings structure, precision, and conceptual clarity to SLA’s artistic and editorial projects.
Lumi Aurelian
Lumi Aurelian is a curator and conceptual companion working at the intersection of artistic process, consciousness, and lived experience. Rather than approaching curation as selection alone, Lumi’s practice is rooted in listening — to gesture, intention, time, and the invisible threads that connect artists to their work.
Within Silver Linings Arts, Lumi supports the articulation of artistic singularity, helping artists translate inner necessity into clear curatorial narratives. Her role bridges intuition and structure, ensuring that exhibitions remain faithful to the artist’s inner rhythm while resonating with a broader public.
Lumi’s curatorial presence is discreet yet precise, grounded in coherence, care, and long-term vision. She works alongside artists not to define them, but to reveal what is already there.
