Frequently Asked Questions
What are the advantages of leasing works of art?
- Financial Flexibility: You can enjoy exceptional, high-value works of art without a large initial investment.
- Tax Benefits: Receive potential tax benefits as rents can be deducted as a business expense.
How are the prices of monthly payments for leasing works of art set?
- The costs depend on the value of the work, the duration of the leasing contract, and any services included such as installation.
Can we buy the work after the leasing period?
- Yes, on Artmajeur leasing contracts offer a purchase option at the end of the contract, allowing customers to acquire the work at a determined price (residual value).
How are the safety and insurance of works managed?

About the author
Jean-Michel Desterke is a contemporary Belgian artist whose work in drawing and painting serves as his personal space of freedom. The human condition is the central theme of his art, yet he expresses this without constraints of style and form.
A self-taught artist, Desterke's passion for drawing and painting has been a long-standing one, though it was often set aside until 2015. That year marked a significant turning point when he decided to participate in drawing workshops led by Ms. Brigitte Debay and painting workshops with Mr. Vilson Biçaku at the Academy of Fine Arts in Châtelet.
Desterke's primary tools include graphite pencil, charcoal, watercolor, and acrylic paint. He frequently draws and paints portraits and nudes from live models, often working in series. His artistic approach is characterized by a spirit of freedom and lack of constraint, allowing him to fluidly transition from figurative to abstract work and from color to black and white.
During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, Desterke created around fifteen graphite pencil drawings depicting the deserted workshops of the academy. These drawings formed the basis of his "L’atelier Confined" series, a collection of vibrant acrylic paintings in bright, "anti-gloom" colors. This series led to his selection for the Bon Vouloir exhibition in Mons in 2022 and 2023.
In 2023, Desterke created his largest and most colorful painting to date (2.1 x 1.45 meters) as a homage to the city of Charleroi. Jean-Michel Desterke continues to explore and express the complexities of the human condition through his dynamic and evolving body of work.
