A mazy background – From the rational science   to the fecundity of humanity

Max Laniado was born in Paris, France. His mother was exceptionally talented in fashion design. His parents created a very successful business of fashion for children. So, this explains why Max Laniado developed an inclination for art as he was raised in the middle of the beauty of fashion.

At an early age Max demonstrated some talent for music and drawing. He learned the piano and had three professors who had encouraged him to go to the Paris music Academy to prepare for a musical career. Max’s father did not agree with this orientation. He wanted his son to have what he called ‘a real profession’’ and hoped he would become either a doctor, high level engineer, or a lawyer. 

As Max was very proficient in mathematics and physics, he got his baccalaureate with grade. This allowed him to be accepted in one of the most renowned schools preparing the top prestigious elitist schools as the French “Grande Ecole” Polytechnique.

Being imbued with an artistic spirit, probably inherited from his mother’s creative genes, Max could not fit in with the hyper rational mathematician mind of the engineering world.

He was looking for a direction that would allow us to indulge his creative and artistic inclinations.

So, there was a duality between a rational mind that was both mathematical and artistic like the world of music and art.  Since his early childhood, Max had a desire to pursue a musical education. There was a hesitation between a scientific and/or artistic orientation.

Frustrated by his family, he was pushed to scientific studies. One day, a cousin who was a prominent anesthesiologist in the United States offered him books on DNA. He was fascinated by this reading and by books on medical biochemistry. He decided to study medical biology and enrolled in medical school. Pharmacy/Medical Biology at the Paris university René Descartes. He won a position as an intern in a Parisian hospital and was quickly transferred to one of the largest medical biology departments in Paris in a very large hospital where he became the assistant of the Professor head of department and actively participated in the research work of the laboratory team. This work involved the development of analytical techniques based on innovative American automatic analyzers. This is how he discovered the use of computer science and its logic that was used to drive these analyzers. He participated in the organization and development of the quality control system of medical analysis laboratories in France and also abroad. A main topic in the research program was the study of errors and imprecisions in medical laboratory test methods. H participated in several publications and even lectured his own professors with a project  of simulations of errors in clinical biochemistry tests..

He continued his studies until the age of 28 and reached a doctorate level that was disturbed by the obligation of French military service, which interrupted his academic momentum. During his military service, as a high-ranking officer, he was tasked with restructuring and modernizing a large medical analysis laboratory in a large military hospital in Germany.

Back in France, he decided to leave the public service and founded an organization to develop automation and management systems for the medical and paramedical professions.

This has led to the creation of a revolutionary process for the automation and management of pharmacies, medical laboratories, and hospitals.

As a result, he developed systems and programs for pharmacy, medical practice, and dental practice management. He initiated the use of barcodes on the packaging of medicines and medicines in order to facilitate the management of health insurance administtrations. He created the first version of a magnetic card collecting information on patients and their treatment in order to detect drug interactions and incompatibilities. This first initiative was precursor of the “Carte Vitale’ which is now universal in France.

Having acquired a great reputation in the avant-garde field of IT management of liberal professions and specialized fields, Max was approached by a multinational of the English group GEC. He became exclusive advisor to the group and was responsible for restructuring the group’s companies and branches, using computer processes to replace obsolete mechanical electromagnetic methods. His mission was to retrain all the staff and managers of the group’s branches and also to identify those who could remain after this transfer. This mission involved many trips to Europe.

During a stay in England, Max met a well-known writer and patron of the arts who introduced him to the world of English contemporary art. In this way, he became acquainted with well-known British artists with whom he built long-lasting friendships. He discovered the difficulties that young emerging artists had in gaining recognition or even selling their work. This discovery sparked a transformation in Max’s career path.

Having been deprived and frustrated by the blockage of his family who were objecting to embarking on an artistic career, he decided to change course in his professional life. He had done what his parents wanted, he had demonstrated his abilities, he had money, and he had time. So he decided to go into the business of promoting and representing emerging artists who needed support to be able to make a living from their art. Thus fulfilling is lifelong passion fort art.

He returned to France and continued his career based on technology and finally decided to promote artists in Paris. On the strength of his success and growing reputation, he decided to open a 2nd gallery in New York which was listed by the press as one of the 20 or 30 best contemporary art galleries in New York.

And so, little by little, going from success to success, he went from careers based on technology and science to the one of tomorrow that corresponded much more to him, that of art and human creation.

Unforeseeable circumstances and in particular the COVID-19 pandemic implied a big change in strategy and business model. Max had already perceived the need and potential benefits to use the Internet to promote artists; there is a limitation in local gallery exhibitions that only allows a very small number of people to discover the novelties of emerging artists.

On the other hand, the use of virtual showcases that he calls cybershowcases, is opened the possibility of exhibition and recognition for these artists to many art lovers and collectors located all over the world and this 24 hour a day, 365 days a year.

With his renowned flair, Max Laniado has been able to unearth budding and emerging talents and give them the opportunity to flourish in the international internal market and turn them into rising and safe values.

Max Laniado is also passionate about music and literature. He is an avid reader, and he likes to write, period, he writes a novel and original stories, some of which could be used to make screenplays in order to make cinema films.

Generally speaking, Max has always wanted to shift his interests to the humanities, and everything related to human creativity. He loves everything that has to do with universal thought, spirituality and philosophy and psychology.Tthanks to these very advanced skills, he is delighted to be able to develop technological projects that are within his competence. One of his great strengths in this field is that he was able to insert something between the yes and the name of computer science the between the 0 and the one, i.e. the ‘maybe.’

Max is an aesthete who loves beauty, innovation and creativity and humanity. He is the initiator of many projects. He always wants to associate with charities because he cannot bear seeing the suffering of disadvantaged and underprivileged children in the world
