India, June 13, 2025 – To celebrate the success of its portfolio of programs fully dedicated to luxury, Glion Institute of Higher Education unveils an exceptional artistic collaboration with visionary digital artist Vincent Smadja. Together, they bring to life a dreamlike piece, a true celebration of beauty, excellence, and well-being, where luxury and hospitality are a spectacle—an experience to be lived and felt.
The artwork is now live and available to discover on Glion’s official social media platforms.
A Celebration of Luxury as a Sensory and Emotional Experience
Set in an enchanting landscape inspired by the Swiss Alps, the birthplace of the institution for over 60 years, a man walks gracefully along a tightrope, like a model on a haute couture runway, above a banquet lit by majestic chandeliers. This suspended moment in time culminates in a burst of sparkles, a flight of light that elevates the scene and pays tribute to the art of evoking emotion.
Through this poetic mise-en-scène, Glion celebrates the essence of exceptional hospitality, where every gesture, every detail, every consideration becomes a form of art. The piece symbolizes the pursuit of uniqueness, ultra-personalization, and the perfect moment, hallmarks of contemporary luxury. It reflects the belief that hospitality is not a service but an experience, a living art built on generosity, excellence, and beauty.
Luxury today is deeply inspired by the codes of high-end hospitality: beyond the obsession with quality lies an acute attention to detail and a commitment to tailor-made experiences. This is precisely the expertise that Glion brings to the luxury houses, training professionals capable of elevating every interaction. This transfer of know-how, between hospitality and the art of living, is at the very heart of Glion’s DNA.
A Work by Vincent Smadja, Artist of Emotional Intelligence
To embody this vision, Glion turned to Vincent Smadja, creator of the “If Only” project, which explores the imaginary through the infinite potential of artificial intelligence. A former event manager turned digital artist, his emotional and distinctive style has attracted major global brands—from Maison Valentino and Nike to The Peninsula Paris, Sephora, and Lamborghini.
His universe, at the crossroads of dreams and technology, earned him a spot among the top 5 favorite Instagram accounts of Adam Mosseri, CEO of Instagram. Through Midjourney; a technology that goes beyond simple text-to-image conversion to reveal stunningly aesthetic works; he creates magical, hyper-realistic scenes full of emotion and visual storytelling, pushing the boundaries of traditional digital creation:
“AI allows me to explore concepts that would otherwise remain mere ideas. With this piece, I wanted to express the very essence of luxury and hospitality: a pursuit of excellence and a devotion to the smallest details, capable of transforming any interaction into an unforgettable experience.” – Vincent Smadja
