Launch of the Maisons Pariente Prize: An Artistic Competition to Reveal Emerging Talents

The Maisons Pariente group is launching a new artistic competition aimed at celebrating and promoting the emerging art scene in France. This prize, created for the group’s fifth anniversary, symbolises the deep commitment of the Pariente family to contemporary artistic creation.

Passed down through several generations, art holds an important place in each of the Maisons. Like a patron, the Pariente family personally selects the artworks and creations

The Pariente family’s passion for art has been passed down through several generations. Each of the group’s hotels—Crillon le Brave in Provence, Lou Pinet in Saint-Tropez, Le Coucou in Méribel, and Le Grand Mazarin in the heart of the Marais district in Paris—features a rich selection of artworks, sourced from the family’s private collection or presented by renowned curators. The primary goal of this competition is to highlight the emerging French art scene and support promising talents in their creative endeavors. By providing a platform for exhibition and financial recognition, the Maisons Pariente Prize aims to shine a spotlight on up-and-coming artists.

The Prestigious Jury of the Artistic Competition

For this first edition, candidates will be required to imagine an original work aimed at “dressing a wall” with a fresco, regardless of the medium, on the theme:
“From real journeys to imaginary voyages: how does reality shape our dreams?”

The Maisons Pariente Prize jury is composed of eight prominent figures from the worlds of art, design, and architecture:

— Charles Zana, renowned architect
— Amélie du Chalard, founder of the Amélie Maison d’Art gallery in Paris
— Michèle Dard, director of the Camondo school
— Julia Rouzaud, founder of Goodmoods
— Isabelle Dubern, co-founder of The Invisible Collection
— Isis Colombe-Combréas, co-founder of MilK Decoration
— Kimberley Cohen and Leslie Kouhana, co-founders of Maisons Pariente

The awards ceremony will be held at the Amélie Maison d’Art gallery in Paris, in partnership with Taittinger. The finalists’ works will be exhibited there.

The winners will enjoy increased visibility among French and international audiences. The finalist artist will see their work exhibited in one of Maisons Pariente’s residences, benefit from visibility on the Goodmoods partner website, and have their portrait featured in an edition of MilK Magazine.

The 10 Finalists of the Maisons Pariente Prize

Selected from numerous applications, these ten artists have captured the jury’s attention through the singularity of their world, the sensitivity of their perspective, and the strength of their approach.

Each of them, in their own way, embodies the values of the Maisons Pariente Prize: imagination, material, memory, and transmission.

The winners

First prize winner

Thomas Noui

Discover

Thomas Noui

A designer trained at the École Camondo and co-founder of the ZBEUL studio, Thomas Noui develops a critical approach to digital technology. He is interested in the biases and imperfections of technologies, which he exploits to produce sensitive and poetic works.

“Paesina”

A dialogue between a Paesina stone and an AI algorithm, this hybrid work blends visual illusion and craftsmanship. The image becomes a carved, then stained wooden bas-relief, questioning our way of dreaming through matter and machine.

Second prize winner

Clément Rouvier

Discover

Clément Rouvier

Interior architect and scenographer trained at École Camondo, Clément Rouvier works between Nice and Paris. His practice blends craftsmanship, memory, and movement. He revisits classical representations through subtle visual shifts.

“Warp”

In “Warp,” Clément Rouvier reinterprets an antique tapestry by creating a deconstructed relief. Pastoral scenes are fragmented and rearranged on a zigzag structure, forming a moving image. The viewer must shift position to recompose the narrative. The dream emerges from visual distortion and memory’s dislocation, in a delicate play between representation, abstraction, and recollection.

Third prize winners

Ludmila Vatine and Léo Nataf

Discover

Ludmila Vatine and Léo Nataf

Ludmila Vatine is a designer from ENSCI, whose hybrid practice blends storytelling, material experimentation, and sensitive design. She creates objects and experiences that intertwine use, narrative, and innovation. In this project, she collaborates with Léo Nataf, a devoted dreamer and intuitive artist whose nocturnal imagination becomes a vivid source material. Together, they form a complementary duo: capturing dreams and translating them into delicate visual form, with Léo’s voice guiding Ludmila’s hand in inspired co-creation.

“What the Opal Reflects”

This piece brings Léo’s dreams to life, transcribed and illustrated in collaboration. Through their joint exploration of the unconscious, they evoke visions of fantastic animals, shifting architectures, and forgotten landscapes. Ludmila sketches these dream fragments as Léo dictates their fluid outlines. Together, they shape a poetic world between memory, invention, and emotional transmission.

“What Carries Us”

In a fictional suitcase, cultural objects and abstract elements converse. Each item acts as an anchor and a trigger for imagination—an Indian fan, a bogolan fabric, a deck of cards. The ink-and-brush composition echoes 19th-century engravings, using fine textures to evoke a vibrant, contemplative image. It is an invitation to travel through inner worlds.

Cloé Angoran

“Red Sea Stopover”

Based on a memory of travel in Egypt, Cloé overlays oil paint, tracing paper, and pastels to recreate the hazy atmosphere of a lived moment. The floating scene dissolves into translucent layers that mirror the meandering nature of memory. The piece becomes an inner landscape where dream and reality merge.

Fanny Lacroix

Discover

Fanny Lacroix is a young artist-designer working at the intersection of visual storytelling and intimate symbolism. Her works explore memory, emotion, and everyday objects as silent witnesses of existence.

“Memoria”

“Memoria” is a mental fresco built like a puzzle of emotional fragments. Between floating forms, soft materials, and textured surfaces, the piece conjures a fragmented dream where memory fuses with abstraction. Each element becomes a symbol, trace, or emotional imprint.

Hind Benaïssa et Emma Pascual

Discover

“Paper Paths”

Juliette Bernaert

Discover

Juliette Bernaert

A student at École Camondo, Juliette Bernaert explores material and spatial elements as emotional triggers. Her artistic approach is sensory, blending delicate perception with immersive form.

“Entre”

Juliette Bernaert’s piece takes the form of a bas-relief, imagined as a window into a world suspended between dream and reality. Three arches open onto fragments of landscapes: a stormy sea, a starry sky, still mountains, and a rising sun. Initially crafted as a small-scale model using humble materials, the piece is designed to be realized at full scale with sculpted lime plaster and engraved birch plywood. Each ray, wave, and punctured sky detail is carefully formed, suggesting transitions across space, time, and feeling. The work speaks of grounding and escape, revealing how dreams are shaped by real-life imprints.
