At Kuzco Art Maison, we offer art and interior pieces that delight both the eye and the soul. Our timeless artworks, made from durable materials such as bronze, marble and porcelain, are designed by talented artists or inspired by art history. In addition, we offer high-quality replicas of iconic works by deceased artists, so that their valuable contributions to the art world are not forgotten. These statues ensure that their timeless masterpieces are cherished even today.

Wij werken als curatoriële en sculpturale partner binnen interieur- en hospitalityprojecten. Vanuit kunsthistorisch onderzoek en connoisseurship ondersteunen wij ontwerpers met het creëren, selecteren en plaatsen van kunst die interieurs verdiept.

Lilly-Ann de Zeeuw (1999), is een Nederlandse kunstenaar, kunsthistoricus, curator en oprichter van Kuzco Art Maison. Met een achtergrond in Museum Studies en Kunst, Markt & Connaisseurschap (UvA & VU) zij ontwikkelt sculpturale objecten die ambacht, erfgoed en hedendaagse symboliek verbinden. In 2025 creëerde zij voor Gold Republic een sculptuur in massief goud.

"Mijn sculpturen beginnen bij kunsthistorisch onderzoek. Ik werk in dialoog met de kunstenaars die ons voorgingen en vier hun nalatenschap door hun vormentaal en symboliek opnieuw tot leven te brengen. Ik werk uitsluitend met duurzame technieken en edele materialen zoals brons, marmer en goud — omdat kunst gemaakt moet worden voor generaties. Mijn ambitie is dat mijn werk mensen uitnodigt om opnieuw te kijken en om onze gedeelde kunstgeschiedenis met nieuwe waardering te omarmen."

Kuzco Art Maison takes its name from Kuzco, an Egyptian cat. This choice is not arbitrary, but imbued with symbolism and meaning. In ancient Egyptian culture, cats were revered and associated with powerful female figures such as Cleopatra, who was known for her intelligence, beauty and strategic insight.

In Egyptian culture, cats were revered and protected, often associated with deities such as Bastet, the goddess of home and hearth, who was depicted as a woman with the head of a cat. Cleopatra herself, the powerful and charismatic queen of Egypt, held cats in high regard, reinforcing their status as symbols of feminine power and grace.

In European folklore, cats were seen as companions of witches, women who were often persecuted in their time for their independence and knowledge. This association has turned the cat into a symbol of the unjust struggles that women have endured. This historical connection between cats and women inspired us to create a business that uses the cat as a symbol.

We strive to not only sell beautiful objects, but also support a movement that empowers women. For us, the cat symbolizes the independence, mystery and resilience of women throughout history. This resonates with our vision of using art as a medium for empowerment and to strengthen the role of women in the art world.

Our vision for the future includes collaborating with talented female artists to create new and unique artwork that furthers our mission, and providing a platform for their work to flourish.
