Maryse Casol

Maryse Casol (born December 7, 1957) is a French contemporary artist and central figure in the Neo-Fauvism movement: an evolution from the Matisse, Vlaminck and Derain school of art + Creative Director at the Casol Marketing agency based in Montreal, Canada.

Renowned for her vibrant colours, exotic landscapes and blazing still lives, Casol uses painting to communicate Love, Faith and Spiritual Transcendence, Inspired from the thoughts of famous philosophers such as Aristotle, Maimonides, and Spinoza. Maryse Casol graduated in Fine Arts and Literature from the University of Bordeaux, France.

Casol works can be found in private collections, luxury accessories, prints, and notecards in Montreal, New York, Paris and London.

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 Acadmie 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".
