Painting Douceur poétique by Droit Ode | Painting Abstract Landscapes

Ode Droit has received multiple types of artistic education. She first studied Graphic Art at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris, then Stylistic Design, and finally Fine Arts in Avignon, where she principally devoted herself to sculpture under the direction of Louis Ball and Gine Peynaud (student of Antoine Bourdelle). After many years of having demonstrated her numerous talents as a painter and sculptor in the United States - collaborating with architects and decorators -, discovering the practice of frescos in India, and participating in the restauration of Buddhist and Hindu temples across Asia, Ode returned to live in France to devote herself almost completely to painting. Today she lives in the Cévennes where she "enjoys the peace of the mountains and its inspiring radiance".
