Odette's talent bloomed in 1982 when she created dolls with heads made of epoxy and fabric, using her “savoir faire” in sewing, which she had also learned from her mother.
Two years after starting her work as an artist, Odette Eid refined her techniques and knowledge with the Italian sculptors Domenico Calabrone and Elvio Becheroni, at Studio Artescultura2, and took drawing classes with Odetto Guersoni.
The book featured graphic design by Emilie Chamie [pt], photos by Romulo Fialdini and texts by Paulo Klein, Radha Abramo and Emanoel Araújo.
In 2007, Odette dared to use flowers, silk, sequin and hats in her exhibition Cabeças e Reminiscências (Heads and Reminiscences), at Espaço Cultural V Centenário, in São Paulo-SP, during the Folklore Month.
The artist won clients around the world and her works gained space in private and official collections in Germany, Australia, Austria, Brazil, China, Egypt, Spain, United States, France, Greece (Sultan Lines), Israel, Italy (Enzo Ferrari), Lebanon, Norway, Syria and Sweden (Queen Silvia).
[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][excessive citations] Odette Eid produced more than 1200 works comprising sculptures, multiples and utilitarians, using materials such as bronze, aluminum, acrylic, paper, plaster and fabric.
An animated video "YouTube: Botão de Rosa (Pink Rose) – Odette Haidar Eid" produced with an avatar that communicates through Brazilian sign language, available online, tells a little about the artist's life and work.
