Powerful Portraits

I am not much of a color person, but even I can't deny that the portraits of Francoise Nielly are delicious to look at.
The palette knife becomes a powerful tool in the hands of the French painter.
Francoise Nielly grew up in the South of France but now lives and works in Paris. Where most artists are inspired by the calm countryside, Francoise Nielly draws all of her energy and inspiration from the urban enviroment and the big crowds in Paris, Vancouver and New York.

Her interpretation of the light in the pictures that inspires her paintings and the amazing color combination, makes her portraits one of a kind.




Watch her paint in this French interview and see for yourself how the master works.
