“For the work and the place to co-emerge, in service of the living world, everything begins with listening to the space: its light, its silence, the beings who pass through it.” ~ Caroline
An artist working for private and corporate clients, RENTAI CAROLINE MABY regularly responds to commissions as demanding as they are unprecedented, from one-of-a-kind creations to monumental pieces and series.
Meditation practice is the foundation of all her work. Her painting arises from close attention to nature and the living world, and from an aspiration that guides every work, whether it begins in the studio or with an outside request: to paint for the benefit of all beings, especially the animal world, and to make each work an act of advocacy for peace and the preservation of biodiversity.
FOR WHOM
- PRIVATE COLLECTORS: A work conceived for a home or a collection, shaped through an in-depth dialogue with its future owner.
- HOSPITALITY, WELLNESS, AND RETREAT VENUES: Works and series for spaces of welcome, care, and rest, where painting becomes part of the very experience of the place.
- COMPANIES AND FOUNDATIONS: Works for headquarters and reception areas that give visible form to a commitment to the living world. Companies based in France may deduct the purchase of an original work by a living artist over five years (Article 238 bis AB of the French General Tax Code).
- ARCHITECTS, INTERIOR DESIGNERS, AND ART CONSULTANTS: Formats, techniques, timelines, and budget are specified from the proposal stage; coordination with the design and construction team is ensured through installation.
Through attentive listening and absolute commitment, she devotes her inspiration each time to the unfolding of a resolutely personal and singular work. Her experience as an international project manager supports every commission, from the study of the site to installation, in France and abroad.
