Maryse Casol

Maryse Casol (born December 7, 1957 in Bordeaux, France) is a contemporary artist painter.

Living in the south of France, and being very imbued with numerous journeys all over the world, Maryse Casol is renowned for her exotic landscapes and blazing still lifes.

Driven by her love for philosophy and a constant desire for spiritual and mystic transcendence, she studied the Scriptures of the Torah, and the thoughts of famous philosophers such as Aristotle, Epictetus, Maimonides, and Spinoza.

Moved by the desire to express the imponderable musicality of emotions, and the persistence of her passionate love for art, Maryse Casol enrolled at the Académie Arts et Beaux-Arts in Varennes, Quebec, where she had the great honour to receive comprehensive training over several years from Sam Aberg, Master, international Art Critic and Art Historian.

Completing her studies with resounding success, she integrated the rhetoric of the compositional aesthetics of art, both classical and modern, with art history, iconographical, semiotic and philosophical concepts. She also took courses in comparative art criticism covering the various movements in painting.

What Casol intends to express in her works, "is not the visible concrete, but the imponderable musicality of emotions and the quintessence of the intangible".

In September 2007, Casol dedicated a rare piece of her art collection, Melodia Gitana, to the Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum of Dubai..
