Our Artists

Today Florence and Jean-Louis.
Tomorrow, perhaps, you.

Evaïa was born from the hand of two painters, Florence and Jean-Louis Tholance. We remain open to any new encounter — a fresh eye, a technique, a sensibility — that might one day join the atelier.

The artists

Florence & Jean-Louis Tholance

For more than forty years, they have painted Provence and the Côte d'Azur on canvas, in watercolour, and on porcelain. Over more than twenty-five years, they created thousands of porcelain pieces.

Florence Tholance

Painter

A watercolourist, she paints the flowers and landscapes of Provence with a luminous palette and an exceptionally delicate hand — a style now recognisable in every Evaïa collection.

Jean-Louis Tholance, painter

Jean-Louis Tholance

Painter

Trained by Claude from 1978, he paints the hilltop villages and way of life of the Côte d'Azur. In 2026, he was the one who suggested to his daughter Maeva the idea that would give birth to Evaïa.

The manifesto

"From the earth, porcelain is born. From porcelain, beauty is born. Gaïa offers you beauty, Evaïa brings it to your table. Three generations of one house, a heritage that fits in the palm of a hand."

— Maeva Tholance, founder
