EURAN European Art Networks
EURAN European Art Networks is the professional, commercial and R&D identity created and directed by Alexandros (Alexandre) Mimoglou, architect, town planner and visual artist.
EURAN develops projects at the intersection of architecture, art, design, cultural intelligence, emerging technologies and industry. Its present activity combines direct professional commissions, proprietary concepts and methodologies, research & development, international networks and strategic collaborations across cruise, superyachting, shipping, hospitality, real estate, aviation, luxury and the creative industries.
EURAN today
EURAN combines principal creative and strategic direction with project-specific international networks, allowing specialised teams to be formed according to the architectural, artistic, technological, industrial and commercial requirements of each assignment.
Alexandros (Alexandre) Mimoglou is an architect, town planner and visual artist whose professional formation took place in France, with diplomas in architecture, town planning and aesthetics & art sciences awarded in Paris. His professional activity since the beginning of the 1980s has extended across architecture, visual art, design, exhibitions, international cultural networks, industrial projects and Research & Development.
His work includes European architecture and design exhibitions, Scandinavian and international art networks, pioneering digital-network initiatives, the presentation and promotion of more than 400 artists, architects and designers, and nearly two decades of cruise-industry activity.
His art and design activity has also included collaborations with international companies in textiles, furniture and related fields, including Pierre Frey, Knoll International and Rosenthal, as well as the presentation of interiors combining artworks, textiles and furniture at the 1985 Salon des Artistes Décorateurs in the Grand Palais in Paris.
From 2001 to 2019, EURAN developed extensive cruise-industry activity, including 19 newbuild and refurbishment projects for MSC Cruises and the production and delivery of more than 22,000 framed art reproductions for passenger cabins and other vessel environments. The work included artwork commissioning, production, quality control, logistics and installation across successive programmes and vessels.
Today EURAN develops proprietary concepts, methodologies and professional projects connecting Artistic Intelligence with architecture, design, technology, industry and commercial value.
Research & Development is a continuous component of this activity. EURAN develops projects from real professional and industrial opportunities and uses European and international R&D programmes where they can accelerate research, testing, validation and deployment.
01 · Our journey
EURAN’s present architecture is the result of a long continuity of education, artistic practice, exhibitions, international commerce, technology, industrial delivery, research and authored cultural intelligence.
Discover the history of EURAN European Art Networks, from the professional and creative formation that preceded its name to its pioneering establishment in the 1990s and its evolution over three decades.
This journey is a tale of resilience, innovation and global connectivity, consistently operating at the intersection of art, technology, culture and industry to chart a course for the future.
02 · Chronology
Architectural, urban and artistic formation in France, culminating in diplomas in Architecture (DPLG, Paris, 1979), Town Planning (Maîtrise, Paris, 1980) and Aesthetics and Art Sciences (Diplôme d'Études Approfondies, Sorbonne University, Paris, 1982).
The professional practice develops simultaneously through visual art, and design. Individual and group exhibitions take place on board the cruise vessel Atlas of Epirotiki Lines and also in Thessaloniki, Paris, Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm, and Amsterdam.
Design work includes textile for interiors for Pierre Frey (1982), a textile collection for Knoll International Europe (1983), tests of porcelain objects with Rosenthal (1984), a porcelain object for the Association of Friends of the City of Paris' Modern Art Museum (1985), and the presentation of an interior combining artworks, textiles and furniture at the Salon des Artistes Décorateurs 1985 at the Grand Palais.
In 1985, Alexandros Mimoglou was Delegate for the Hellenic participation at the Salon des Artistes Décorateurs. In 1986, he became First Secretary of the Société des Artistes Décorateurs in Paris.
Since 1987, he has presided over EURAD Europe, Architecture & Design, the French non profit association established in Paris to promote architecture, design and international creative cooperation.
In 1988, EURAD organised French-Scandinavian exhibitions of architecture and design in Copenhagen and Stockholm, under the patronage of the Mayor of Paris, Jacques Chirac, and the President of the European Commission, Jacques Delors.
Art presentation and sales develop into a substantial B2B network through hundreds of Scandinavian Art Clubs and associations representing thousands of employees in companies across Denmark and Sweden. This period builds a large network of corporate art collectors and establishes practical experience in connecting artists with organisations, companies and private markets.
In 1994, Alexandros Mimoglou launches in Sweden, under the EURAN European Art Networks brand, one of the very early online networks presenting international creators. The network grows to more than 400 artists, architects and designers, combining artistic presentation, communication and online business before the widespread development of the Internet as a commercial medium.
Art consulting and creative services expand into mainly the cruise but also other industries such as the superyachting and the hotel ones.
For one of the major global cruise companies, EURAN works as owner advisor on 19 newbuilt and refitted vessels, producing more than 40,000 framed reproductions of artworks for passenger cabins and other areas. The work includes commissioned original artworks, crew-area posters, new cabins, public-area artworks, and reproductions installed in passenger corridors and stairs of large cruise vessels.
This period provides the large-scale practical experience from which EURAN's later approach to Industrial Cultural Integration develops.
EURAN begins a new phase of conceptualisation and planning for several networks designed to promote the global cultural and creative sectors. The work expands across the cruise, superyachting, hotel, luxury real estate and aerospace industries, while developing the conceptual, theoretical and digital foundations of the cultural infrastructure being built today.
This period develops the intellectual and operational foundations on which EURAN's present global cultural architecture is based. The series of published originally in LinkedIn newsletters Constellation becomes an important vehicle for research, communication and the development of ideas across disciplines and industries.
The planned Summer 25 operations introduce a series of pilot programmes designed to test the feasibility and market potential of the wider global project across the targeted industries. At the same time, contemporary design activity extends the author's long-standing relationship between art and reproducible products through Art & Design 2day, with more than 2,200 art-derived designs and products developed from his own work and the work of other contemporary and historical artists.
The accumulated experience, research and development are progressively organised into a common EURAN architecture. Its current components include COS™, OPS™, Constellation, CREATE, the Industry Networks, ACCESS™, RELATE™ and the TPA™.
These elements represent the current formalisation of a professional trajectory that began with art, architecture and design and developed through international exhibitions, creator networks, corporate art activity, digital communication and large-scale industrial projects.
