If you're one of those people who don't consider themselves a fan of oil painting, the stunning work of French artist Francoise Nielly might change your mind. Perhaps at first they will seem somewhat implausible to you, but you are unlikely to be able to resist the riot of colors and stunning energy of these portraits.
Françoise Nilly's massive, multicolored portraits are simply stunning to look at. But it’s even more amazing to watch how she creates them. Instead of a brush, the artist uses a special knife, shaped like a miniature garden trowel, and the range of shades of oil paints is much greater than one would expect for a portrait. Françoise creates her vibrant, passionate canvases - some measuring 195 x 62 centimeters - using black and white photographs as a basis, and further focusing on her unerring ability to interpret light, shadow, tones and hues through vibrant colors and bold brushstrokes.

Françoise Nilly lives in a world of images. She has been exploring different facets of “images” throughout her life through paintings, photographs, sketches, illustrations and virtual motion graphics. It is clear that drawing is her calling and her passion.
The artist's website describes her work as "sexy, free, unstoppable, surprising and even explosive." Françoise seems to strive to capture the cosmopolitanism of French society by depicting a variety of different types of faces in her portraits.
Born in Marseille, raised between Cannes and Saint-Tropez and now living in Paris, the artist is at home among bold contrasts and dazzling colors. Françoise Nilly is a passionate woman who loves life, open spaces, sushi, blue lagoons, the Internet, humor, books, Paris, New York and Vancouver. She is a true master of her craft; 20 years of artistic experience explains the maturity of her work, perfect mastery of technique and unsurpassed craftsmanship.
