A Curated Art Collection at Botanical Suite

For the Botanical Suite, Montcalm Mayfair invited French artist Camille Rousseau to create flora- and fauna-inspired works throughout the space, as well as to curate artworks for the bedrooms. Rousseau’s practice, rooted in the natural world, spans a wide range of materials and techniques, resulting in works that are both unexpected and striking. An antique wood carving sourced from a Belgian brocante introduces a sculptural garden element, evoking the mythic imagery of the Garden of Eden.

In the living room, Rousseau’s large-scale painting captures a fleeting garden moment—at once representational and abstract, alive with movement. The flowing forms and gentle colour palette invite guests to pause, slow down, and reconnect with nature. A nearby antique wood carving sourced from a Belgian brocante introduces a sculptural garden element, evoking the mythic imagery of the Garden of Eden. Inside the bedrooms, Camille created a dreamlike triptych that conjures an underwater vision of a magical botanical world, as if glimpsed from beneath the surface. Complementing her work, the adjoining bedroom features a triptych by Spanish artist Teresa Cuevas called Su presente y su tierra. This piece explores nature’s forms through material and colour, creating textures that draw viewers into the landscape itself. Cuevas balances opposites—weight and lightness, fullness and emptiness, stillness and motion—expressing the tension and harmony found within the natural world.

About the Artist

Camille Rousseau is a French artist based between Amsterdam and Paris. She studied graphic design before specialising in film and 3D animation in Arles, and later earned an MA in Communication and Design at Central Saint Martins in London. 

Her practice revolves around the line—a continuous exploration that shapes both her personal and commissioned work. This pursuit, grounded in repetition and flow, resembles a form of meditation, tracing the behaviour and meaning of the most elemental gesture. Rousseau works across diverse media and materials, with projects spanning advertising, publishing, packaging, editorial, interior design, and branding.

Teresa J. Cuevas is a Spanish architect-turned artist whose work navigates the boundary between nature, light and emotion. Educated in architecture in Madrid and Seoul, her early years working with artist Jinnie Seo deeply shaped her aesthetic: a meditation on space, materiality, asymmetry and calm. 

After years of architectural and museographic work, she transitioned fully into art around 2018, developing abstract, deeply textural pieces that explore both exterior worlds (light, nature, landscapes) and interior realms (femininity, maternity, emotional growth).
