Maison Taureau:

House of the Bull.

THE CONCEPT

The painting that started it all, originally titled “Torres”, came to life one spring night in northern France. This piece marked a breakthrough in the artist’s career and catalyzed the beginning of a new pursuit, the Maison Taureau—roughly translating from French as the House of the Bull.  Torres founded the Maison Taureau in 2025 as an artistic identity to the world—encompassing all of her creative pursuits within one metaphorical estate. She developed the brand as a way to establish links between her variety of works, the displays of which range from homes and weddings to international galleries and magazines. It is the label associated now with all of Torres’s work across independent collectors and larger-scale partnerships alike. Torres remains the sole creator of all works, statements, and operations by the Maison Taureau. The primary styles that collectors will find include impressionism, expressionism, and realism, often concentrating in mediums such as oil paintings, watercolors, and charcoal or graphite drawings. Other common mediums include acrylics and ink. Torres’s pieces are most commonly recognizable by her trademark red schemes.

The Maison Taureau is dedicated to the love of beauty in the world around us, ever-continuing contributions to the affinity for elegance, and the appreciation of art in endless forms—a genuine luxury for all who seek it.

THE ARTIST

Though a self-proclaimed multidisciplinary artist, Arden Torres is an American oil painter at heart. She began painting from an early age, achieving her first museum exhibition at age fifteen. Torres spent years developing many creative affinities and modalities of expression. These included drawing, writing, playing the piano, embroidery, sewing, photography, and multiple genres of design. From that first exhibition into her adult life, Torres’s work has been displayed across the country from Atlanta to Chicago. Most notably, Torres has attended international residencies to develop her work with the influence of European cultures. Residency locations included Orquevaux, France, contributing work to the permanent collection of the Galerie Diderot at the Chateau d’Orquevaux, as well as County Kerry, Ireland, gathering inspiration from the Irish landscapes and community. Other accomplishments include magazine publications and interviews, live-painting for events around the United States, and the privilege of getting to work and connect with artists and art appreciators from diverse backgrounds and disciplines throughout her career. Torres looks forward to continuing her travels to study both modern and historic creative cultures and to explore the ways in which various regions of the world inform her own art.
