Avatara: The Colorful Epic of Poetic Abstraction by Françoise Leblond

Immersing yourself in the captivating world of Françoise Leblond, the painting “Avatara" reveals a profound artistic exploration where abstraction comes to life with boundless creativity. This visual masterpiece transports viewers into a dreamlike dimension, populated by fantastical creatures and a vibrant play of shapes and colors. Part of the enchanting “Poetic Abstraction" series, this painting evokes a landscape of waking dreams.

The canvas opens on a deep black background, highlighting the bright colors of the characters and motifs that populate this enchanting universe. Françoise Leblond, master of colors, deploys her talent here to create a palette that instantly captures attention. At the top of the painting, a round yellow moon emerges, radiating a mysterious glow that seems to guide the journey to the heart of this universe.

The heart of “Avatara" beats to the rhythm of an oval head, a pink face adorned with green eyes and a red mouth, her long hair stretching in shades of blue and purple. This central figure, with its size and striking chromatic palette, attracts the eye and invites total immersion. Perched on its head, a bird with green wings and a red body is crowned by a crest of shades of pink and green. From a green beak, a shimmering cascade of pearls escapes, a kaleidoscope of colors that adds a touch of magic.

Below, two feminine creatures twirl in dazzling dresses, adding a note of grace and dynamism to the whole. Beneath them, three creatures ride a strange creature, creating a scene that is as captivating as it is strange. At the very bottom of the painting, trees with facetious features stand up, their colors brightening up the waves tinged with green, blue and orange.

Finally, as a start, colorful shapes emerge, including a half-face with blue eyes and an orange mouth, surrounded by a constellation of shimmering spheres This detail adds an intriguing, almost introspective dimension to this visual fresco.

Through the “Poetic Abstraction" series, Françoise Leblond explores the confines of artistic expression. His personal touch, imbued with spontaneity and originality, invites the viewer to plunge into a parallel reality, where art becomes a daring escape. Leblond's works are imbued with dancing colors and contagious energy, and each canvas is a visual celebration that encourages you to join the solar party that she orchestrates.

Françoise Leblond's work radiates luminosity and joy, transporting the viewer into a whirlwind of creativity and imagination. In this world teeming with exuberant and caring beings, each brush stroke is an invitation to an immersive experience. Trees with happy faces, celestial and terrestrial creatures, all converge to create a visual symphony.

With such mastery of color and form, Françoise Leblond builds a bridge between abstraction and poetry. She captures the very essence of emotion in every brushstroke, conveying a depth that transcends the limits of language. His art expresses the multiplicity of facets of human creativity, while offering a passage to imaginary worlds imbued with joy, curiosity and generosity.

In short, “Avatara" plunges us into the heart of Françoise Leblond's daring artistic expression. Through this canvas, she creates a captivating visual narrative, a web of daydreams where shapes, colors and creatures dance together to reveal poetic harmony. In this visual dance, each element finds its place and its meaning, inviting the viewer to embrace the shimmering soul of abstract art.

Françoise Leblond, Avatara
Françoise Leblond

Françoise Leblond

France  • 1952

Françoise Leblond is a French painter and sculptor, member of the Taylor Foundation. After studying art at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière and a diploma in interior architecture at the Académie Charpentier in Paris, she learned the techniques of faux wood and faux marble at the École Blot in Reims, as well as as the art of trompe l'oeil and wall frescoes at IPEDEC in Pantin. She worked as a decorator for architectural firms and for entertainment before devoting herself fully to painting and sculpture in 2002, the year in which she created the Elvina gallery workshop. Since then, she has exhibited her work in France and abroad, with works present in public and private collections.



Artistic approach:


Françoise Leblond, painter and sculptor, is distinguished by an artistic approach that fuses imagination and reality, thus creating a universe where the border between the concrete and the abstract blurs. His works, whether paintings or sculptures, are imbued with a singular aesthetic that invites reflection and escape.


Françoise Leblond's “imaginary realism" paintings reveal a metaphorical quest for reality beyond its tangible appearances. His paintings, imbued with a captivating aesthetic, depict a universe where the strange and the marvelous mingle in a dreamlike dance. Through evocative shapes and suggestive colors, the artist invites the viewer to introspection, to a reassessment of their own perception of the world.


With her “Poetic Abstraction Paintings", Françoise Leblond transports us to a space where color and form unite to evoke pure emotions and a contagious joie de vivre. His fantastical creatures and abstract landscapes are an ode to spontaneity and creative freedom.


His “Poetic Abstraction" sculptures are manifestations of his fertile imagination and technical mastery. Each piece is a celebration of form and space, where the artist plays with materials to bring emotions and stories to life. Françoise Leblond uses materials such as aluminum or stainless steel to create works that are both modern and timeless.


In her paintings “Grands Maîtres revisited" Françoise Leblond plays with the rules of classical and contemporary art with a unique sense of aesthetics With discretion and audacity, she revisits the paintings of great masters to give them new life, thanks to her pictorial technique. She manages to create works of art that are both funny and poetic, while maintaining high standards in the quality of her work.


In her paintings “Anthropomorphic Cats" Françoise Leblond has an innate talent for transforming cats into funny and endearing anthropomorphic characters in her paintings. It gives them a unique personality and endows them with human gestures and behaviors that are both amusing and moving. She paints cats with freedom, without constraint or concern for realism, and this freedom is contagious. She manages to capture their curious nature, their grace and their undeniable charm.

Françoise Leblond was able to create a real world of cat sculptures that reflects her personality and her love of life. Through her stylized cat sculptures, she manages to convey pure and sincere emotion. Each of his works is unique and exudes a singular aura that invites the viewer to let themselves be carried away by their imagination.


Françoise Leblond's sculptures are imbued with a universal language that speaks to all generations. They evoke primary emotions like tenderness, joy, wonder, surprise and curiosity. They are the reflection of an artist who is part of an ancient tradition where art is considered a form of direct communication with the soul of man
