Swiss-born artist and interior designer Soraya Anceaux, the visionary behind Maison Anceaux, embarked on her artistic journey against the backdrop of a rich family heritage steeped in a profound love for art and creativity. Raised amidst a lineage of women impassioned by the arts, Soraya inherited her first strokes from her mother, who painted with a fervour ignited by curiosity and pleasure.
Guided by the echoes of her familial legacy and inspired by luminaries such as Matisse, Rodin, Niki de Saint Phalle, and Maillol, Soraya's work reverberates with a celebration of the feminine form. Like Matisse's "La Piscine," her creations dance with movement and volume, inviting viewers into a world where the female body becomes both muse and masterpiece.
In her seminal collection, "L'ESQUISSE D'UN RÊVE ÉVEILLÉ", Soraya channels the essence of empowerment and grace through her paintings. This collection transcends the ordinary, inviting audiences to explore the realms of dreams and wakefulness.
"L'ESQUISSE D'UN RÊVE ÉVEILLÉ" finds a complementary counterpart in "La Rêveuse," a delicate photographic exploration born from the collaboration between Soraya, Roel Paffen, and Zafeiria Papachristou. This collection breathes life into the ethereal, infusing Soraya's creations with a sense of embodiment that resonates deeply with those who encounter them.
Maison Anceaux stands as a testament to Soraya Anceaux's unwavering commitment to the pursuit of beauty and innovation. Through her art, she invites us to embark on a journey where imagination knows no bounds and the spirit of creativity reigns supreme.
