La panthère au repos (2019) Painting by Maryse Coin (Ryse Kaïa)

Maryse Coin is a contemporary French painter, born in 1957 in Niort. Although she initially pursued other paths, it wasn't until the age of 30 that Coin discovered her passion for painting. Self-taught, she embarked on her artistic journey by studying and emulating the techniques of the great masters.

Inspired by her travels to Morocco, Coin's early works primarily consisted of portraits and life scenes, capturing the essence of her experiences in vivid detail. However, in 2003, she underwent a transformative period, producing around forty abstract paintings characterized by a spontaneous, gestural style and a dominant use of red. For Coin, this phase represented a source of freedom, therapy, and creative exploration.

As the years progressed, Coin's artistic evolution led her towards a new realm of expression, marked by a departure from academic figurative art towards more suggestive and abstract portraits. Embracing pure creation, Coin developed a highly personal style that aligns with the expressionist movement, conveying raw emotion and depth through her compositions. Recognized for her substantial impact on the art scene, Coin was granted membership in the esteemed Taylor Foundation in 2021.
