The poetry of silk paper
- • Maryse creates poetic works made out of silk paper for prestigious fashion houses
- • Her sculptures play with light
- • Each project is a source of discovery and innovation
Maryse Dugois knew from an early age that she wanted to work in a creative field. She attended the prestigious Ecole Boulle in Paris, but it was not until she moved to Brittany, where she lives and works, that she began to create truly personal works. Maryse's customers usually give her carte blanche to create works. Inspired by childhood memories, her delicate works capture the light and emotion of nature in suspension, like the light that magnifies the whiteness of an apple blossom swaying in the spring breeze. While her graceful flowers are renowned, her creations are rooted in the rich evocation of nature. The technical aspect of her work fades into the background, giving way to the magic of her suspended decorations.
