Painting Vers l'azur by Escolier Odile | Painting Figurative Mixed Acrylic Life style

After studying science in college, Odile wavered between continuing her studies in art or in medicine. Influenced by an occupational therapist father (physiotherapy and rehabilitation), she finally chose training as a physiotherapist. She became interested in alternative medicine (herbs, relaxation) but still continued to paint for her own pleasure. She participated in a few exhibitions with her watercolour and ink works. Painting began to play an increasingly important role in her life and she decided at age 35 to devote herself fully to the art form. From her former profession, Odile still keeps an interest in humanity that she now transmits into her paintings. Meetings and sharing are recurring themes of inspiration; the human being and its relationship to another fascinate the artist.
