Painting une douce soirée, toi et moi. by Garilli Nicole | Painting Figurative Life style Acrylic

With a father who was a cabaret musician, Nicole grew up in an artistic environment. Music was present from a very early age. As a little girl, she was engaged in all kinds of creative activities (painting, drawing, sewing, making bead necklaces...) all carried out to the fevered rhythm of Jazz music. This first contact with art influenced her understanding of everyday life. Unknowingly, Nicole was moving towards an artistic destiny, but her choice of studies led her away from her original purpose. After a Masters in Economics at the University of Montpellier, she worked in various fields (manager, training facilitator, medical assistant). In 2000, succumbing to the call of her passion, she began training at the Perpignan School of Art. Five years later, she became a full time artist and participated in a string of regional exhibitions. In 2012, she created a studio in Collioure.
