A Splash of Colour

Michael Schepis - Friday, August 05, 2011

Françoise Nielly’s amazing colourful portraits are definitely an eye opener. Even more wonderful is her her confident approach and strong hand as she wields her painting knife shaped like a miniature garden trowel or spatula and makes painting look as easy as cake frosting. She paints her vivid, passionate canvases — some as large as 195 x 62 centimetres from the black and white photos, further proof of her incredible ability to interpret light, shadow, hue and tone by applying brilliant colors and daring strokes.

"Born in Marseille, brought up near Cannes and Saint-Tropez, and now living in Paris, Nielly is at home among bold contrast and dazzling light. To add to her likeability, here is the list of her loves: Life, wide open spaces, sushi, blue lagoons, the Internet, humor, books, Paris, New York and Vancouver." - Tuija Seipell
